under the chart where it shows how much the stock went up or down, there is sometimes a bar chart that says "volume" on it what does that mean and what factors make the volume of a company go up or down?

I have always loved gymnastics and I competed in high school. I just graduated college and I have been working as a gymnastics coach for a local fitness facility for 3 months. I love the work (I coach pre team and help with team 3). I only work about 12 hours a week. I have been thinking of quitting because on days that I work during the day it takes me 50 minutes to get there and I will also be taking a class starting Jan. and hopefully starting graduate school next fall for physcial therapy. I was wondering if I should stick it out or look for a different job that I can get more hours and is closer for me. The gas prices and not having a full time job are really hurting me. If I do quit, will it be bad for trying to get other jobs? Thank you!

Aug 1 06- JRS purchases 18 1k 12% bonds maturing on jul 31 07. Interest is due on Jul & Jan 31.

Is this an annuity question? Do I need to find the future value and then calculate for the Aug-Dec 06 period?

I went for a job interview the other day for a cruise ship admin position,organised by an agency.I made a real effort to look good-instead of a suit however i wore a black tank top over a white shirt,to look different.My friends said i looked very smart.Everything went very well.2 days later i had a call from my agent saying the company did not want to employ me based on the fact that i was poorly presented and i talked too much!! I think they were making excuses for my overly confident manner.Is it possible to look/sound too interested? and does this put employers off? does the grounds for refusal to employ sound unfair to you? and have you had a similar experience?

Thanks.

My boss is extremely mean and he doesn't like me. Everyone knows it, co-workers often take up for me.He is so mean to me, I have decided to quit. I don't plan to list him as a reference. I don't think he would give me a good recommendation anyway. Is it necessary to put in a two weeks notice, if my new employer wants me to start immediately?

Hi.

We are currently renting a house through reeds rains but the bills are too high ie water rates, coucil tax.

We would like to move to another property when our 6 month tennancy is up that reeds rains have to rent. (if there is one available!)

The thing is I am frightened that we will have to have another credit check.

We are just starting a debt management plan because we are in financial difficulties. This is the reason we want to move as we didn't realise how much the bills were going to be in a detatched house and I would rather be in a victorain terrace anyway!!

Does anyone know if we will have to go through a credit check again or if the one that they did 3 months ago would still count as we intened to stay with same agent, just different property.

Good luck with understanding all that and please be kind, no harsh comments as I am on the edge here.

Back in March my mother's cat got really sick and went into surgery. She spoke with the Surgeon about her finanicial situation and he said it was okay if she waited a bit to make payments. Well, it took her a while.. She paid $20. on the account for four months which is all she could afford. She is living below the poverty level because she is mentally disabled. I recently got a bill which seemed rather threatening. I didn't let her see it because she would get upset. Anyhow, I paid $100. on it last month and told the lady to bill me on the 14th of every month a $100. until the bill is paid in full. Today they sent my mother a thank you note for the $100. but are demanding full payment. Neither of us can afford it right now. Is there anything they can do? I mean, we're making payments.. what can they do?

sick and vacation leave then took leave without pay. I am employed full time. Full time employees are paid for Thanksgiving Day and the Friday after. I didn't get paid for these days. Not to mention that there has been a lot of backstabbing and back biting since I've been out. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

i have and use intermittent fmla. so they can't reprimand me for missing time that is protected by fmla. but....they are very numbers driven. i work on the phone, and one of the numbers they look at is the percentage of time you are on break. well, if work a shorter day because of fmla, that percentage goes up. i have 1 hour of unpaid lunch, and 15 minutes of paid break for each four hours worked. so my percentage is to high, for example i might take my 1 hour unpaid lunch, not realizing that i am going to end up having to leave early. they are threatening performance management, possibly a final warning.

Hi! I have been interning for my boss for 3 months now and I want the job. I answer any questions the members of his site may have. How do I ask him for the job without sounding rude, impatient, or pissed-off? Thanks in advance! By the way, he has another intern who is doing the same thing as me, but he doesn't really do much.

I usualy advertise and show new people,but im tired of them complaining if they dont like the new person.I have said that when a room is being vacated that they are wellcome to advertise on the net or whereever and find someone they like but they dont.
someone is leaving next wk and i havnt had much response on my ad so the room may be emty for a bit. what im worried about is when the bills need to be payed and they may have to pay between 2 people rather than 3 for a while. I dont want the blame or the expense as they may look to me to chip in. what are your thoughts as a renter or landlord?

I work for a small company, we do not have many procedures. My problem is that me and my one co-workers jobs are intertwined. She seems to miss a lot of work (30 sick days this year) and she has been off for another month so far on personal leave as she hurt her hand at home (totaling 60days and counting off of work). Now all these days she has been of all her work gets dumped on me. I have to put on 50 hrs a week & still can't keep up (I am not being paid overtime and am paid on an hourly basis). I have asked my boss when we can expect her back to work as I am getting overwhelmed and he doesn't know and says he will call her, then doesn't. I ask him again and he blows me off. She has yet to produce any proof that she did indeed hurt herself. I am feeling very taken advantage of here and would like to know what my options are if any to make them resolve this, either by hiring a temp or something. Anyone else gone through something like this?? Help!!!!!

I lost my job in June. First thing I did was contact my mortgage co and came up with an agreement to catch my loan up with my tax refund. However, I just received notice through the mail that my loan has been transferred to another company. In the legal copy, it stated that my current provider should have sent me a Notice Of Warning 15 days before the transfer. That never happened. This is a shock that this has happened. Do I have any legal recourse? They transferred my loan to a mortgage company I have dealt with in the past... and got screwed over by them. I don't want this to happen, again. Any advice or answers would be appreciated!

I have recently ordered goods from America. I got a letter today saying that I had to pay VAT on the item, which is fine. The only problems is that I have been charged £18.60 for the VAT, when the cost of the items was only £80. £18.60 is more than 17.5% of £80. Why have I been charged this much, it is more than actual VAT? The letter also says there is no import duty, just VAT?
