I have been having problems with my landlord. He seems to be holding a feeling of resentment against me for making him make some repairs he did not feel were necessary. The last time I went to the office to make a request for a work order we got into an argument and we both got very loud (loud voices only no bad words or violence).

Yesterday I got a letter from a law firm stating that I need to be out of my apartment with in 5 days of the date marked on the letter. The letter was sent regular snail mail with no form of delivery confirmation, and was dated Oct 14th. So it essentially says I need to be out on 2 days notice. I have a one year lease, and as far as I am concerned I have done nothing to violate it is this legal?

WHY NOT put a tax on alcohol instead of cigarrettes??
More people drink than there are smokers........
and more peoples' lives are ruined by the alcohol than by smoking!

Does it bother you about the $1 tax raise on cigarrettes.??
It bugs me!! Cigs. are all I can afford to relieve stress.
go fishin'- gas is too high.
read a book--can't get away from the kids long enough.
take up a hobby--- my paycheck aint that big..
and on and on..

Hello my name is George. Today a group of freinds told me they were going to set up a business for a young enterprise thing. They've been working on it for a few weeks now and they asked me if I could come up with a name for it and my interest grew. They then asked me if wanted to be part of this organisation to which i said yes.
However all is not well, I consider myself a buisness revolutionaire and want to do things MY way. How do I overthrow this buisness so that they are under my command and follow whatever I say? I've already started issuing them numbers rather than calling them by their names.

My divorce is pretty much finalized. My son and I have been living with my parents since the end of March. We will probably not move out until the first part of next year. I am 26 and my son is 5. We have been staying with them since my husband and I seperated so I can get on my feet. When my parents file their taxes next year can they claim me and my son? How would that affect my refund next year, because then I wouldn't know how to file? If not do I just file single for the tax year 2007. And then for the tax year 2008 can I file head of household since I have custody of my son and next year we will be on our own?

Ok, I've been working in a daycare center, but only for 4 weeks. My co-workers started to take advantage of me (chore-wise), and have slightly eased up. But the main problem is that there is no communication between me and my boss/teachers. They only tell me what to do if I'm doing something wrong. I don't even know if I'm working part-time or full-time! (Believe me, I'll get that answer tomorrow!) But all in all, it comes down to the communication issues, the $5.50 p/h pay, and co-workers bullying me. I'm wanting to quit the second week in December, and maybe start babysitting after New Year's. Problem is, I don't know how to bring the subject up. This is my first job, by the way. Please help! I'm so miserable!

I live in a house with 2 apartments, I live in one, the landlord lives in the other, and without saying the exact words "you cant use the yard" he has kind of beated around the bush about it..

Also on the deck he has a cooking grill, and we arent allowed to have one.. so we have had to do all our cooking on the stove, which resulted in dishes, and he is complaining that I use "too much water".. I dont understand. Im using LESS than I did in my old apartment, and my landlord never complained about water. I make sure I take very short showers and I dont even do so daily because everytime Im in there, Im anticipating another phone call from him "Why do I hear that water running so much!?!" He and his are the ones doing a good 6 loads a laundry each week, not to mention washing their vehicles quite a bit.

When you rent an apartment, what is included? Is the yard included, or no?

When someone pays with a check... You have to write on the check. Don't you draw a plus sign sort of thing. But what do you write in the different quadrants? Isn't it expiration date, license number etc (and in which quadrant)?

I'm looking for a way to pay the taxes on my bonus toward the END of the tax year (April 15) instead of when I receive the bonus (January). Last year (January 2007) I got hit with a 45% tax deduction which completely ruined the bonus for me. Is there a form I need to file with my payroll department to avoid the taxes and then after receiving the bonus change it back? Thanks very much taking a minute to assist me.

Spending thousands and thousands of dollars on a paticular field of study is not real world enough? LOL! How are students supposed to get out of this crazy debt we are in when HR people don't hire us. I find it hilarious that I lost out to a guy who graduated college in 1958, and he didn't know how to fill out a PDF application online. He had no idea what a PDF even was.

There is no difference when college students i am sure know way more than people who are even working in the industry, because these people who are working are not learning new skills. They are just stagnate in one position.

I took on a business partner who paid to own half of business. His wife was stealing from the checking account and altering and deleting bank statements. He informed me he had opened a checking account for the business. However his name appears on check as well as in very small print at signature line appears the company name. My partner claimed to have no knowledge of the missing funds until he went an got bank statment from bank since the copies his wife were turning in had been altered. I terminated the partnership immediately. What else can I do about this since I never had my name placed on the checking account but all funds deposited were proceeds from daily income of business.

Me and a coworker got into a heated argument and things were said. Now I'm put on suspension until corporate takes a look into the matter. I'm positive that with the circumstances I'll be let go.

Now, for future resumes what is some good advice that I can use to try to make it look acceptable? I've worked at the place for about six months and I do have to take responsibility for what happened with that event. How do I go about telling my potential employer about the situation without him automatically declining me? Should I spare some of the details, or just not elaborate on it so much?

As well right now I'm in the process of filling out applications with my suspension time. When it asks "Have you ever been terminated from a job" what should I put?
