Business & Finance - 28 July 2007

I work for time warner cable and the pay is good and the benefits are outstanding, but the hours are the worst. I often miss out on family events and other important things because I have to work. I really just don't like dealing with the customer's either because some days I just don't feel like fixing everyone's problems which is pretty much my main job... I thought about being an electrician because I used to be one but I'm so affraid of getting laid off and I live by myself so I have only my income to rely on. Anybody out there know anything about being a union electrician or have any other ideas at all about what I could do about this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I am also taking classes in HTML, CSS, Dreamweaver and maybe PHP and SQL. What are the chances of Getting a job as a Database Administrator with a BS in Computer Science and the additional classes? Will I be able to find a job after college/ How much can I make? Will I be able to find a job with little supervision( i.e. "micromanagment"). Will I be able to telecommute? If not a Database Administrator , what other jobs may I be able to get?

I've been flirting with the secretary at work for some time now, and not only has she been receptive, but has been flirting quite a bit herself. So this past week, I decided to take it up a notch, and I slipped a naked picture of myself in her briefcase as it was sitting beside her desk, with a note on it asking if she liked what she saw.

As it turns out, our boss has a briefcase that looks exactly like hers and had leaned it up against her desk that morning while he went off to the coffee machine. So, instead of placing the picture in her briefcase, I put it into his by mistake.

Well, now he's coming onto me, as he apparently is gay. Ironically, I never saw that one coming, he's married with a couple of kids. How do I let him down easily without hurting his feelings or loosing my job?

I am very interested in changing my major. I just finished two years in Business Administration and am not happy with the direction I am going. I have thought very strongly of starting over and going into i.e. cadd or industrial engineering technology. Just want to know what kind of jobs there are available and if people in this field are happy with their career? I'm looking for more hands-on work and less ****-kissing.

Thanks!

I'm looking for something in detail, ways to invest with a limited amount of risk. I prefer to invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs, real estate, and possibly other areas, and I'm wondering is there something close to a formula (percentage of each type) that will work best for someone who only wants to put in about 20 hours per week on the work associated with the investments.

I went into the frickin Gap and they asked if I wanted a Gap card, which I stupidly assumed was a membership type thing, only to find out after the fact that I had just opened another line of credit...I have perfect payment history and I only have one credit card, would it be better just to keep this line of credit open and not use it, or just cancel it, in terms of how it would affect my credit score?

I have been on this up and down rollercoaster with my credit. Just at the beginning of the year my credit score was a little over 600, now it was ran a couple of weeks ago, and now the median score is a little over 550. I dont get it, I am on time with my payments, and I have not applied for any other credit cards or loans. I have signed up for a credit company that professionally disputes items on my credit report. Was that a good move? I also disputed items myself a couple of months ago, and SOME items were removed, but the score had not been updated yet, so how long does it take to update my score number. HELP! We are trying to buy a house in a year, and we will be making a lot of xtra income, is it better to pay off 1 of the 2 cars we have or is it better to save the money for a down payment. Oh another thing, we area single income family as I am a stay at home mom, and I intend to stay that way. So whats the best thing for me to do?

I paid money to get a websit. I enjoy the website! I was told to do blank, blank, and blank to my site and I would "possibly" make money. I now have a great site and no "nepharious" income. Should I keep this website or stop paying the fees and discontinue? Really need your help!

I ordered a guitar from musiciansfriend. It said it'd be here in 2-5 business days. That went by and I got an email saying that it was backordered. It's been 3 weeks since I got that email and when we track the order online it says it hasn't "been processed". Any idea when I can expect to get the guitar and what do they mean by processed?
