Im scheduled to work from 8-5. The rest of the employees have flex time and work at home schedules. I can't seem to make it here at 8am-rather strolling in at 8:30 maybe 9. I've been with this company for 3yrs and i'll say within the last 2 months my boss has been getting on me about being late. I've been promoted, assigned additional work, and even relied on to do tasks that I'm not really qualified to do. So i think it says alot about my dedication. But he's riding my behind about being here at 8 am and I just can't bring myself to do. I was even shocked when he threatened to fire me. How do I handle a boss who has nothing more to complain about, rather than what time I am at my desk? -better late than never.

The stalking-a** bi**h is now sabotaging me in an effort to keep me unemployed. I am pretty sure she has called anonymously and said crazy stuff to prospective employers. I used to run a district of retail stores. She was obsessed with getting my area! Now that she has it, I think she's afraid if I get another DM job in the same region, that I will rape the district. Which is true!!! She has managed to "flip" some of my most loyal ex-employees. This girl is reallly, really good at sounding like she knows her s**t!
Everyone says what comes around goes around but does it?
I've never seen it happen to freaks like her in 26 years of retail.
My ex-bosses must see it, right?
I have never hated anyone so much in my life!
How can I stop her?
Should I call one of the co. that wouldnt hire me at the last minute and ask?
The b***h is still haunting me 6 mths later. I wanted her to get fired but now I dont so I know exactly where she is!

Please give me reassurance or ideas on revenge

I am 14 years old right now. For a while i wanted to be a phsycologist, but then i decided that i dont want to deal with other people's problems. I love to cook, and i am really good at it, so i wanted to have my own cooking show but i dont want to be around food all my life and show buisness is very tricky and unreliable, so i wanted a talk show host but that is also unreal and unreliable.So i want to get paid really good and i dont want to dedicate my life to the job and at the same time i want to dress nice to it and not just wear suits. I wanted to be a designer but they dont get paid a lot and i am not really that creative. So now i am thinking of a pidiatrition, so who gets paid better a phsycologist or pideotrition? Also and job tips for me?How much do pediotritions do get paid a year? Approximetly?
Thankyou you are a big help if you answer!
and dont think that its too early for me to start thinking because its not , i have a reason for this!
Thanks

I come from a family of musicians, mainly males.
I remember sitting on my dad's lap as a toddler singing with him and his band. For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a singer/songwriter/musician. The problem is, I let a lot of fears get in the way of that dream and now I'm a 30 yr-old single mom and I am starting to wonder if I should just give it up. To be honest, I really have no desire to be huge or "make it big" as an artisit, I just want my music to be heard. I know I belong on stage entertaining people because it's the only thing I have ever longed for. I've tried to take interest in other things, like simply being a writer. I haven't even obtained a degree in college yet, though I'm working on it.
Is it hopeless, foolish, just plain risky?
I need serious advice, thanks in advance!

for the reason I left my previous job. Telling them I did not get along with my previous boss is not a good sign.

I have a BS degree in Computer Science and Engineering and I've been in IT (programming) for almost 10 years. Since then I've become extremely unmotivated. My salary is still barely above 40K which is just not enough to pay the bills (trying to get out of debt). I have meniere's disease (in my case that means my hearing is pretty close to being gone) so my choices of jobs are very limited. (nobody wants people who can't talk, attend conferences, etc.) Doctors can't do much, and the fact is I can't afford it anyway. It seems to me like jobs that I would really enjoy don't pay enough for me to live on (I have 3 kids) and on the other extreme the jobs that pay well, I'm either not qualified enough or I just couldn't do them because they require people who can hear (I can talk, I just can't hear). I struggle with guilt of being unproductive at a job that doesn't pay enough for our needs and it doesn't help keep me up to date in this fast changing field.How can I get out of this rut?

I cant figure this out!!
I got a degree in art but painting doesnt really get you anywhere.
I have a really special gift with animals, but its so hard to get any decent animal care job (in a zoo, ideally) and it hardly pays anything.
I wanted to be a Jim Hensen Creature Maker at his shop here in Cali and make muppets and movie special effects but thats even harder to do.
Then Im liker "maybe I should be a midwife? That looks awesome..."

I just cant pinpoint what I want! Im 23 years old!! Help? Suggestions on how to figure this out?

I'm looking to get my own apartment down in Virginia (Possibly with a roommate. Apartments down here are expensive!). My problem is, though, that I'm still a college student, and I don't have a whole lot of job experience.

Are there jobs out there that will hire an inexperienced student such as myself, while at the same time, providing me with enough money to pay the bills?
