There is this woman at work who i absolutely cant stand. Everyone else is nice,it's just her. She is married and having an affair with a married man there. Me and him use to talk and she started going in jealous rages,she even accused me of going with him,even though i havent. Now she is very ignorant,i dont like bad atmosphere and have tried being friendly and today this woman at work tried to bring me in the conversation and this nasty b**** who i cant stand turned her back and blanked me,i felt really small. Everytime i see her i get angry because nobody knows what she's really like except me,she also flirts with all the guys and act like she's beautiful. Anything i can do to get even or deal with my anger everytime i see her pathetic face?

I've been on the job hunt for serveral weeks. After hearing back from very few inquires, I decided to take a job at restaurant. I wait tables. I just started last week.

Today, I got a call from a company that I went to an interview w/ about 2-3 weeks ago. They have offered me the job.

This job is just what I have been looking for. Great hours, good work environment, notable company, great benefits. At the serving job, I just feel like I'm settling. When I orginially got the job, I told them I would be there for the long term. I figured that this job had past me and I was finding very few other positions in the paper, etc.

Now what do I do? The company hasn't given me a start date yet. I'm meeting with them at the end of the week. But, in the mean time, I'm not sure how to quit the serving job.

I feel bad, but this position is much better. What do I do or say?

I was fired on May 17, 2009. The reason for this was as follows: A note in my handwritting was found beside a computer at the store where I worked. Another employee found it on my day off. It was an address to an adult website and my personal ID number. Must have fallen out of my pocket. The employee who found it proceeded to open it and spread the contents to the rest of the employees. Made me a laughing stock and I got fired for being on an unauthorized website. The thing is, I never opened the site.I opened my e-mail after the store was closed, saw the site and wrote it down to look at it later at home.It was my day off and I wasn't even able to defend myself. I worked for this company for 25 yrs.I was the only HR person they had.There is no such rule (unauthorized websites) written and we all had permission to view our e-mail.I am a widow of 4 yrs, a mountain of bills and no savings. I am now losing everything!I am 54 with no job and no education Legal case or not? State of MO.

I thought it was at least partially a design job, but it is a detail oriented managerial position working with non-creative people in a catty and conservative office full of bitchy office ladies. I am totally miserable and this job makes me feel like an idiot every part of every day. I don't like moving around from job to job, but clearly I need to do something. What would a good exit strategy be? I don't want to screw over the company, but I am screwing over myself by leaving with no option and would never just immediately leave without tying things up.

I am currently trying to decide whether to get my LPN or RN. I just moved to Sarasota, FL and the community college here has a waiting list for the RN program...so basically the soonest I would be able to begin the program would be Fall 2008 even though I have already completed ALL of the prerequisite classes at another community college in Jacksonville. The technical school here offers a one year LPN program which I could start in August this year...plus they have night classes which is VERY important since I have a two year old and no family here to care for her....and daycare is sooo expensive when you only have one income. I'm just confused because I have heard that it's not worth it to get your LPN then go on to RN because RNs make so much more. Also since I have taken the time to take ALL the prereqs for the RN program, it's kind of annoying to have to wait over a year to start it. I know either way that my goal is to be a RN, I just can't decide which route to take.

Hi everyone, I'd like some professional or anecdotal advice pelase:

I handed in my notice (4 weeks) a few weeks ago. My official last working day is Friday 22nd June. I have 8.5 days holiday outstanding - I want to take them which means my last actual working day will be this Tuesday (tomorrow), leaving after lunch. I am happy to work the afternoon and just start my hols on Wed. My employer is not co-operating; my boss will not make herself available to discuss and confirm that she is happy with this (because she is cross I am leaving).
Can my boss make me work until 22nd June and pay me 8.5 days extra, or should I be allowed to take it?

If its required to make a software to arrange a set of numbers input by the user then the software engineer's job will be to design the logic of the program, and all the programmer has to do will be to translate that design into source code--- am i correct?

Ok my wife is becoming very unmotivated. She has had 8 jobs in the past year and a half, which I understand she did not like so 1 she got fired and the other 7 she quit. Some after just a few days, well we are not financially stable as I make 45000 which is fine for bills, but just when we get some money saved up she quits a job and it is 2 weeks before she get another. I love her to death, but it is just killing me. She told me last night that I should just work some overtime and she would stay home and clean/cook. We tried that with a job I had about a year ago and she never cooked or cleaned she just spent the $ I gave her. What do I do? I was financially stable until this started happening now we are getting behind on bills and low on money all the time. I just do not know what to do anymore?

There's usually an agreed notice period in your contract for a job (usually one month or one week) but if you know you'll be leaving before this point (due to moving away or going back to college for example) should you let them know sooner as a good will gesture, or wait until the actual notice period?

Also, is it the done thing to let employers know if you're applying for other jobs or keep it to yourself until you get a confirmed offer?

Eventhough I say exactly what I mean, and I am very clear with my message, I still come across so many people who still don't understand what I'm saying. I sometimes have to give detailed directions on how to complete a task, and I find that many people are just not good at follwing directions, even when it is to their own benefit to do so. Does anyone have this problem communicating with people?

When I play poker or bet on sports I get a rush which is the same feeling as when I was in high school and college playing sports. Since I'm not going pro in sports anytime soon gambling is the only thing that gives me that kind of feeling. Is there a job that anyone could think of that would give me this feeling?????

Here's the deal, I'm pretty much bored with my job and my life. I work a 9 to 5 in an office and I'm starting to realize its just not cutting it anymore. My daily routine during the week is usually gym, work, dinner, tv, bed. I'm looking for a different career path that will give me that rush I've been looking.

The only time I really feel a rush is when I'm playing sports or gambling. Since those two are out of the question as a profession does anyone have ideas on a job that can fulfill these needs?

Ok well tomorrow, I am going to my first job interview. It's at a nearby video rental store. But the only thing is, it starts at 4:30. Since I'm not going to walk fast (because sweating would not look good, or smell good, at an interview) and since I'll have all my books with me, it'll probably take me about 30 minutes to walk over there. My school gets out at 3:45, so that gives me 30 minutes in between. It usually takes me 10 minutes to walk from school to my house. Then if I do go home, I'll drop my books off, but since it's farther away from my house, it'll still take 30 minutes.

So basically:

If I go to the interview in my school uniform, I will get there at 4:15.

If I go home to change, I will make it between 4:25 - 4:30

So given the tight schedule I am on, should I try to go home and change into something else, or come to the interview in my Catholic School Uniform? I don't want to be late, but I want a good first impression.

I'm applying to work for Borders, and the application says to have references ready. I'm not 100% sure what that means. I know what a reference is, but how many should I have (I'm applying for bookseller or inventory team), who should I ask (professors and old guidance counselors?), and what should they be? Are they just names and contact information, or are they actual letters of recommendation?
