How do you like working when other people are sleeping and sleeping when other people are working? I do overnight news at a radio station and I enjoy the night shift.

It does involve a few handicaps when it comes to shopping, doing errands, and banking and such, but I do enjoy the night shift and think a lot of people would.

I RARELY get sleepy on the job...

has anyone ever been put on a JSA sanction when you intentionally give a job up? me and me partner and 3 kids have recently moved 60 miles to be near all my family and my partner gave his job up to move here. the Dole office are now saying he gave up a perfectly good job and we may get our JSA heavily reduced! my partner hasnt got any transport and would be getting the train to work and then the bus (to get there for 6am) and this would cost over £100 per week in travel expenses. he also couldnt transfer as where he worked is the only depot in england. i have moved nearer my family as i have had post natal depression and we got the offer of a 3 bedroomed house after living in a tiny flat. are the benefits agency been unfair and could they expect my partner to travel to work everyday?could we get our JSA reduced? my partner is currently looking for work and would take anything within reason

I put something in the wrong column - even though I declared it, they did not see the error - which should have stood out like a sore thumb to the trained eye. Anyway they should have taxed me on £20,000 but they only taxed me on £12,000. I thought it was odd at the time but because I didn't realise it was in the wrong column I didn't query it. I honestly have only just noticed the error, as I said it was my very first year of being self employed. I only realised it yesterday when I did this year's return - correctly. However they have written me a letter and I have to produce all my accounts, they are definitely going to see it, I wasn't trying to hide anything. Will I have to find money I haven't got to pay or will they admit they made an error too? UK QUESTION. Somebody said they hit hard on the one person who is self employed and let the big people get away with things.

I have a joint brokerage account in the US. If my account has a loss of $6000, who can file the loss? Please let me know if the following scenarios are true.
1) Both can file the loss but limited to $3000 combined deduction.
2) Both can file the loss and "each" can deduct $3000 ($6000 combined deduction).

We live in SF bay area. Our house is 3bd and 3 full ba. We have a big den downstairs that could potentially be partitianed into two rooms: a play room and a 4th bedroom. We are just wondering how much value it adds to do this if we decide to sell in a year or two.
Thanks in advance.

I am in a tough position...I graduated college in May from a top school, top of class and while thinking about going to law school, I started working an entry level job at a top firm. I thought I was doing well until my supervisors sought feedback from my more experienced coworkers about me and she decided to tell my boss every mistake I have made since I started. Now my boss has threatened to fire me if I don't show a month of improvement. However, she will be getting feedback from the same girl who clearly does not like me, and since I am under "review" I can't really defend myself. In addition, I realize that this job really isn't what I want and I would be much happier in the non-profit world doing what I like and not working 70 hour weeks. I am thinking about quitting after only 3 months on the job in order to prevent myself from possibly getting fired, but am worried that I will have a hard time finding a new one since I would have left so early. What should I do?

When my financial advisor pulled up my credit report, for some reason my mom's credit report comes up instead of mine. My mom and I have very similar names, which is probably why it happened. But all of the information on the report that pulls up (my moms) correctly identifies my mom, without a mistake. How do I go about correcting it so that my report comes up when its pulled and not my mom's info?
