I was recently termanated from a job for attendence becuase I was hospitalized several times. How can I fill out applications to make this not show up and will I be refused for it?

Do I have to use this last job, can I just neglect to put it on paper? Can companies look it up?

Basically, I know I need to pay taxes at tax time, but I want to plan ahead to be able to save for it, so I'm not screwed when tax time comes. I need to find out both federal and state (Arizona). My total income is going to be approximately $28,000 with $3,000 of that being the non-taxed part of it, and the other $25,000 taxed already.

carpeting was the gaudy silly symbol of another decade, along with stagflation?
Let's hope that the silly fad of putting green or orange or pink granite in your kitchen will implode like the credit markets and saner heads will once again rule.
Similar to the 1970s where for a short time you couldn't sell your house unless it had shag carpet, soon followed by rational, sober minds which required one to rip that crap out before selling a home.

I have been told I will get a decision on something in 5 business days today at 3pm. Now i know weekends and thanksgiving day do not count as business days...but does the Friday after Thanksgiving count as a business day or not?

Would it be safe to assume I would find out the decision on tuesday? or wednesday?

Thanks

Hey, I'm 19 years old and I finally want to get my saving bonds and cash them but my grandpa has them. And I have no idea what his phone number is (he wouldn't give them to me anyways) but I do know they are in my name. But how does one get his/her saving bonds if I live like 200 miles away from him? And what are the processes I need to go through to get them?

so i'm going to college soon, and i want an apartment and such, which is about 2,000 for the location, i also need things like food and clothes and things. what would be a good job that i could easily get that would pay well. i've never had a job before, so i'm not exactly sure about everything yet.
so here are my biggest concerns:

-is $14/hr a lot to pay an 18 year old? (yes, i do know it depends on the job...that's my next question)
-what type of job would be good for a full time student to make 12-14/hr?

you should know:
-i'm up for anything
-i can do simple things like answering phones and such, i've got some experience.
-i'm a liscensed babysitter.
-i worked at my parents restaurant for 5 years, so i'm very skilled at waitressing
-i'm willing to do pretty much anything (i.e. hooters, strip club)
-i'm going to live alone

thank you in advance for all of your answers. i really appreciate it. i wish i hadn't made the mistake of waiting to figure this all out at 18.

I am a new agent and I recently contracted into listing a home for one of my client. The garage of the home that I listed has been furnished with 4 walls completed like a normal room and the floor was also tiled. I have created a flier and on it I said that the garage could be used as a studio or an entertainment area. I did not put this in the MLS, just on the flier in front of the home. Today I received a call from some lady claiming that she is working for the city the home is resided in (Westminster California). She told me that I cannot list that the garage could be use as a studio or an entertainment area on my flier. Does anyone know if saying that the garage could be used as a studio or an entertainment area will create legal issue? I did put on the MLS that the garage has permitted to be turn into a studio or anything like that. It's just on the flier in front of the home. The garage can also be used to park cars if the new owner wish to do so. Thank

I work in a furniture store, and recently have been given a few requirements which I feel are very unfair. Firstly, working stocktake approx. 7 hours overtime in two days, with NO overtime to be payable. Secondly, on Christmas eve, our store will be closed. We have been told by management that we are to take one of our RDO's, or take the day out of our annual leave entitlements, OR we will be given a days credit to owe them later. All this on a day when they have closed the store. We haven't been asked if this arrangement is suitable for us, nor have we signed an AWA. Can this can be enforced legally?
