Open Question: am i right to feel so mad?

i am furious!! the father of my 6month old baby (never seen her and didnt want her) will not co-operate as far as child support. I have a solicitor trying to serve him and he has changed his number and packed up his business.

His family have no idea she even exists and i got in contact with his mother (i didnt tell her about her grandaughter as my solicitor advised me not to say anything at this time) i told her we are going thru a legal dispute and he is not co-operating and become un-contactable and he should have told you about it 12 months ago.

He ended up calling me and he said he will start co-operating and he has not done a thing!!! it has been nearly a week! and he didnt tell his mother either (he just brushed her off!) im furious!!

Do i have a right to feel so damn angry at this????

So, my last paycheck (which I received the 11th of the month) bounced. Today I got a notice and a returned check from my bank. Apparently the is insufficent funds to pay me my paycheck. I’m due to be getting another paycheck this Friday, the 25th…wonder if THAT ONE will bounce too.
Now I have overdraft fees because I thought the check went through (it took them almost 10 days to notify me). I live in the state of Ohio and I have NO clue what the laws/rules about such things are, I’m only 19 and have never dealt with an employer so shady or this awful before.

Also, the place I work is a franchise (I believe that’s what it is called). It is an individually owned store for a bigger corporation (kinda like how some Wendy’s are). The owner of the store is the one who pays the employees. He has an investment company, as all the paychecks are from HIS-LAST-NAME Investment Inc.
I loked up the investment company and only found I business under it…the store I work at, and the address for the investment company is the same address as the store.
Not sure if it is true, but I heard if an individual owns the store, they have to have a legit payroll company or who ever it is who writes out and distributes the paychecks. Maybe what i have heard is wrong, just wanted to check.

This store has had some other shady business on a smaller scale, mostly cheating employees and/or bullying them a bit…also lots of hiring and firing for almost no apparent reason..along with conflict of interest because the head manager hired 2 of her children to work in the store ever since she started working there.

Not sure what the best course of action would be, or who I should contact about the check. I already called and informed one of the managers that the check bounced, but the owner was out so couldn’t do anything about it.

Thanks for your advice and help ahead of time. If it matters any, I work at a local Petland store.

I’m 11 and I really want this kooky spooky build a bear for 16 dollars plus 6 dollars for skates and shipping and handling? My mom doesn’t give me a allowance and I can’t make my own business. . .

I WOULD sell something on eBay, but I don’t know what stuff to sell and I don’t know if I have the right stuff to sell. I can’t make a loan from a friend or family member. Please help! Just to let you know, I can’t wash cars or rake or do stuff for other people.

Open Question: What product should we sell?

I’m in a business class and we have to pick a product to sell to our school, friends and families.

Does anyone have any good ideas?!?!

It is a company cell phone that I must take on break and answer.

Ok obviously, I need answers from a beauty professional that already has information I need. I am a makeup artist and I need to know what this means on the application for Smash Box.

Valid union card- what is this?
Copy of current agency ZED or comp card- once again what is this?
(Next is business card, I have that)
2 professional tear sheets that include your name- like a makeover sheet??

I know I have no idea what this all means, I have only been in the industry for 2 years so spare me ok :-D
Also, anyone know of other companies that offer discounts, I have MAC already.

Thanks!

This is the quote of the topic for my English class!Because of cell phones, hiking in wilderness areas may be safer than before, but it is also noisier than ever. Although people might bring cell phones with them to use in case of an emergency, emergencies are rare. More often, people receive incoming business and even social calls. Technology seems to be following us everywhere: into the wilderness, and then back into civilization. Anywhere at any time, everyone else present can be disturbed by one person’s call. Because more people in these circumstances are bothered by cell phones then are helped, these gadgets should not be permitted in certain public places or designated natural areas

The task is to explain the argument the extent which I agree or disagree with the quote. I need to provide reasons ans examples that have a good point of thesis in the intro paragraph!

So can anyone willing to help me out?!
