Benefits are not a concern as I have medical under my wife's plan and won't have enough time in for 401k or vacation time.

This is a 6 month contract to hire position in which I would work for a contracting company until the end of six months at which time I will either be hired by the company or the contract will not be renewed.

I am not sure whether it matters whether I do Corp or 1099, but the contracting company is asking me which way I want to go.

I have a construction company. I am fully licensed & fully insured.
The problem I have is with 1of my clients. I am renovating a big apartment. The contract is signed.

Fist of all, the contract states the ways of payments are the following: When contract is signed I receive the first paycheck, when the job starts(these 2 have been received), the job reaches 50% of completion, reaches 75% of completion,& when the job is done the last payment.

In this job there is some electrical work, which is also stated in the contract. Once I started the project I discovered that the people that had worked there before us, did lots of things wrong. Hot wires where found hidden in drywalls & uncovered, the panel was a disaster(in contract I am to renovate) & more.
We at this moment are about to reach 75% of completion, but now the owner says he wants us to file the electrical & plumbing work w/the city, & wants the license # of my electrician. Until then he will not pay anything. What can I do?

This is not on me but on a friend. A friend has a rental house (he lives out of town) and had a person help get it rented out. An interested couple signed the rental agreement and mailed him the check for the security deposit. Two days after he deposited the check they send him an email saying they are not going to move in. He asked if they would provide some compensation considering he stopped showing the property two weeks ago when they first said they were interested. not only did they tell him to piss of but also said they closed the checking account to make sure the check would not go through. Any thoughts on this?

I bought an investment home over 2 years ago before the bubble burst but the neg am loan is eating up the equity. It is located in Calif as is my primary residence.
The lender doesn't want to modify the loan terms to make it more reasonable, within 12 months we'll owe more than its market value.
If we decided to let it go to the lender either as a foreclosure or short sale, does the lender have recourse against my primary home, which is NOT part of the note or deed. We asked the lender to work with us, they are simply declining and it appears that they'd rather be in the rental business instead of the mortgage business. So in Calif can they go after your primary home which is not connected to the investment home in any way. By the way, they are different lenders.

I hate being a nurse so I returned to college and earned a bachelors in business management. Upon graduating, I came to the cruel realization that I made more as an LPN than I could at an entry level management position - how depressing. So I've spent the past few years just avoiding both and working crap jobs just getting by. Well now I'm ready to get back in the game and get a good job, but damn, I really don't want it to be nursing - not any hands on nursing anyway. Suggestion please!!

Have you ever called Discover to request that they STOP sending you their checks? I've called them twice and made that request and both times I was told it would take a month or two, but that they would stop. The first call was about 18 months ago, the second was about 6 months ago. I seem to be getting a book of checks almost every week! I would be willing to bet that at least half of the shredded material in my office trash can is Discover checks and the other half is other Discover related material with my account number attached!

My friend has just phoned me and told me that she has been burgled ( she went into her lounge and found that the rear door was wide open ), and that a few articles were missing, she has reported the matter to the local Police for a crime number she didnt mention claiming on her contents insurance as shes so upset , but I want to ask is her insurance valid if the door was shut but not locked physically with the key?, as it was more than likely an opportunist thief could she claim for the items on her insurance given that the door wasnt locked?

Any advice appreciated?

I am 27 & ready for a different career. I would like to get into the medical field and one day become a RN and work with infants. I applied to my local college and the problem is I did terrible in high school and I have never taken the SAT or ACT test so the college is telling me I will have to start out with a mini-certificate in CNA and work my way up. Which is ok with me. But everyone I tell this to is constantly telling me that CNA work is not worth it, it's filthy, dirty work that won't amount to anything. I am getting really discouraged. People keep telling me I should skip all that & go straight into the RN program but I can't. The college already told me that I would have to start with a mini-certificate....even a LPN is a certificate & I can't even start with that. Please provide any encouragements & your advice on how I can get started in the medical field if my only option is to first get my CNA? And what can I expect? Thank you :-)

I joined a company recently, and I think I screwed up, though I know that I have the right in this
at first I was sitting on the wrong place where I don't have a direct contact with my colleagues who are working on the same account with me.. so I asked the manager o replace me next to them in order to make work easier.. so he agreed and went out with me to show me my new place as it was an empty desk ... but guess that caused jealousy.. the receptionist girl said that she kinda "reserved" that place before me and that the boss told her she will sit on that too!! I was surprised and she talked to the administrator officer and he said the same thing too !! I was completely shocked.. so the admin. officer called me the next morning tellin me to hold until we sit again with the boss to discuss the matter.! but I didn't listen to him, explained to him politely the situation.. but I think that made him angry not listening to him and went to my manager and gave the wrong impression about me

I was renting a place for $1200 a month. We gave a security deposit of $1800. We bought a house in June and we were not allowed out of our lease. So we paid the mortgage and the rent. In the lease we were supposed to pay water and sewer, but since we were not living there, she didn't charge us for July and August. We just got back and it was only for $235. She charged us for installation of smoke detectors (which we never even had), a hole in the wall that was done by the plumber, that the landlord stated they would fix, as well as other charges, such as replacing the entire kitchen floor and a few sections of the hardwood flooring. Does she have to provide pictures, before and after, as well as any invoices because this is outrageous. My wife, her stepbrother and myself were all there the night before and cleaned the entire house.
