JustInTime

So, I work at a car dealership in the parts department. One of my co-workers calls out a lot. In the 9 months I've been here, at least 15 times. He doesn't even do his job the right way 75% of the time. But, people have said they don't worry about him because he gets paid less than everyone. He has been here for 3 years. Well today, Black Friday, he no calls no shows. I asked the warehouse manager where he was or if he called in and he just said why are you worrying about it. Well, I'm the one that has to pick up his slack, today and always. The said employee causally walks in around 12:15 (scheduled at 8:00) like it's nothing. My parts manager is off today and the warehouse manager, just says, "what's up" to him like it's nothing. Both of these managers are too nice and very passive. I said to him, "where have you been?!?" I over slept he said. He's 35 years old with kids and that's the excuse this "grown man" comes up with. I have been in such a bad mood all day. We are supposed to be having individual meetings with our fixed operations manager and I wanted to know if I could bring up these accountability issues, because it has gotten way out of hand. It's a problem that nobody seems to be taking serious. This is not how the real world works. Should I say something to my boss or the fixed ops manager? EERRRRR!!!!

So we had a pipe bust in the closet in our garage that stores our tankless water heater. We had the pipe replaced but the water destroyed the tankless, which is only 3.5 years old. We filed a claim with our homeowners insurance. The adjuster for Allstate can't make it until Thursday morning. The unit should only go for retail between $800-1200, but the unit we have was put in by previous owners for $2900 parts and $500 labor. How long should this all take to be resolved? Cold showers suck! The unit we found out had previously been recalled due to carbon monoxide leaks. It's a navien. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have had a few interviews at a luxury car dealership (MB) for the parts department in counter/retail and wholesale sales. I was offered the job and went in today. The manager gave me some paperwork to take home and we discussed salary. I was not happy at all. When we met during my interview I told him my salary range was 45k-55k. Well today he told me it was $12/hr at 40 hrs a week plus commission. The commission is .2%...he pretty much said if the department does $400k in sales a month, I get $800. This seems kind of low for a Mercedes Benz dealer in major city. I did the math it basically comes out to $35k a year. That's $10k lower than the minimum I asked for. He said he couldn't really budge on it. He told me to bring my stuff back Friday and to think about it. My wife is not thrilled at all. Just like everyone else I have a mortgage, bills etc.. I need to say something, but I am not sure what. I am more than qualified. I really want to work there, but now I haven't even started yet and I am discouraged. I am going to take it regardless, but unless they can give me a little more, I am going to keep looking. Not sure what to do or say to him on Friday. Any suggestions?

My wife and I are trying to have a baby, but I am having difficulty doing my part. I have no problems when I masturbate. I can do it shorter, longer, it doesn't matter. I probably do that 4-5 times a week. When we have sex, I last way too long. I know some people like that, but I am over it and I know my wife wishes I would just finish. Most of the time we just stop and I eventually take care of myself. We can't keep doing these 1 hour + sessions. Any suggestions on what I can do? I do take Buspar for generalized anxiety. I have been taking it for 5 years and I have cut my dose down a lot to where I am only taking 15 mg once a day in the morning. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I have ejaculated rather quickly in the past, but that was a few years ago and it was very far and few between. I would really like to be able to ejaculate faster and often because we have been doing it 5-6 week for 2 weeks around her ovulation time. Please help!!! This is so frustrating!

I have had 2 interviews with a possible employer. Today they called and told me to call this place, Georgia Polygraph Incorporated and set up an appointment, which I did for tomorrow. Now, I don't know exactly what they are going to do, but I just find this weird. First of all, I know about the EPPA (Employee Polygraph Protection Act) and this is not for government work. It's for a position in a parts department at a highline automotive dealership. So, I don't know what to think. I've had other jobs and they just did regular background checks and drug tests. Do you think they will do a polygraph? And if so, shouldn't I say something because it's against the law? I have used drugs, just marijuana, years and years ago and I was arrested once 10 years ago on a petty misdemeanor charge. I'm not sure what to think. Any suggestions or thoughtful insight greatly appreciated. Thank you. I'm kind of worried about all of this.

So I may have to take a hair follicle drug test in a few days and I had a couple of questions. One, and don't judge, I used to smoke pot but haven't done anything since September. I heard tests go back 90 days. Is this true? Second, I have a shaved head, not bald, but shaved. I also have no hair under my armpits, I shave that too for swimming. I have no chest hair either. So, where will they take a sample from? Anybody with any experience with this? If so, I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips. Thanks for your time and answers.

My wife owns some land in Texas. It's in a little town called Elgin, about 30 miles east of Austin. We had about 100 acres, sold 40 acres and bought a house in Atlanta to be closer to our family. I was curious to know how the value of land will go up. There is land everywhere in Texas. We got around $150k for the 40 we sold. My question is mainly, they just built a school, Austin Community College, a new super Walmart and are planning on building more stores and hotels. How much do you think the value of the land will go up? In 5 or even 10 years? Just curious because it's a small town, but with all this new stuff going up, it's got to increase a bunch, right?

I have a weeds and grass growing in cracks in my driveway and sidewalk. I sprayed some round-up on them, but what is the best way to get rid of them for good? I tried pulling them out, but now I have soil and dirt everywhere. I'm not much of a "yard guy" but I can't stand these things. I live on a culdesac and none of my neighbors have this problem. What is the best and easiest way to get rid of them and clean up the affected area so it doesn't look so bad? Thank you.

I am beyond frustrated with my backyard! I have a ton of weeds, dead spots, patches of dirt etc. I recently laid out Scott's Turfbuilder Plus Weed Control and it hasn't done anything. In fact it almost looks worse. I am not yard guy, but I desperately want my yard to have lush green grass everywhere and I haven't got a clue of where to start. I want to be able to actually enjoy cutting my grass. I hate cutting it because of the way it is now just going over dirt and weeds and dead spots. Should I call a professional to come look at it? I want to basically start from scratch and eventually do my front yard. I just need some help and guidance on the best way to build a lawn. How long does it usually take? And is it bad to start this process now in the summer? I live in GA and it hasn't rained much either lately and it's hot as hell, but I am willing to do whatever it takes. Also as far as using different products/chemicals, I have 2 dogs that use the yard. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Got offered 2 jobs as a service advisor. One is 30 miles away (mainly hwy miles) with Toyota as a service advisor. I have Toyota experience. Every other Saturday off with Sundays and Tuesdays off. It's a non-smoking workplace, I smoke. The other is a Honda dealership Express Service Advisor position. 10 miles away. Work every Saturday with Sunday and Wednesday off. How are express advisors paid? Any thoughts or suggestions?

I put out some Scott's Turfbuilder Plus Weed Control in my backyard Saturday evening and just watered it today. I have 2 dogs. Is it safe to let them out in the back? They have been doing their business in the front which I don't like and they're dying to go out in the back and play. Is it safe yet? I don't have much experience with gardening and laying down seed. I just want a nice, lush green backyard without the weeds, but I want my dogs to be safe. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I am 31 and I have been smoking for 15 years. I smoke almost a pack and a half a day and I HATE IT! First thing in the morning is a cigarette, with coffee, in the car, after I eat etc. etc. etc. I want to quit so bad I just feel like I have no willpower and I feel powerless over them. Last year, right around this time I started taking Chantix. I never fully stopped smoking. I cut back a good bit but stopped taking it after about 3 months. I couldn't stand the nausea and some other side effects including chest pains. I am thinking about trying something else, maybe hypnotherapy or maybe Zyban. I don't think acupuncture would work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I want to quit so so bad! And my wife is begging me too as well. Plus I am currently looking for a new job and most places are smoke-free and it just makes me anxious thinking about not being able to smoke. I am a nervous wreck that needs help!!!!

I was fired from my job as a service advisor at a automotive dealership. I live in GA, which is a "fire at will" state. I feel I was unjustly fired. I was there for almost 6 months. I was never warned about being fired, I was just harassed daily by other people who worked there, saying I was going to lose my job, because another advisor who used to work there was coming to take my job. I asked my service director almost everyday for a month what was going on because the rumors were driving me crazy. He said, "everythings fine, just go back to work" and then he'd change the subject to something totally unrelated. Since the rumors starting I had to start taking prescription stomach medication. Everyday was hell and being harassed by my co-workers didn't help. I had 2 days off every week and I spent those days looking for jobs and being extremely stressed and depressed. This dealership is independently owned. The other advisors there are the most dishonest people I have ever worked with and for. They would purposely break things on peoples cars and then force the customer to buy a service to fix it. I was, one of the "honest" ones there and I think because I wouldn't follow their shady business practices, I was canned. My service director didn't even have the guts to fire me himself. I went in last friday and asked my other manager (assistant) what was going on. He said he had no idea. Then I asked for the owners contact information and he told me to come into his office. He said that the next day would be my last day and that I was fired. I refused to stay, cleaned out my office and left. He gave me a separation notice and the cause was not even accurate. I have since tried to call, email, and text my service director. No response whatsoever. I want to know if I can do anything about this? Whether a claim for my job or something to blow the whistle on this place for the way they poorly treat their customers and the employees who actually value their job. I have already filed for unemployment. I would like to have this place investigated into. I need to do something, I'm just not sure where I stand. Thank you.

I am in my early 30's with no college education. Is it too late to start from scratch and go back to school for my bachelors degree? I have been in an industry (automotive) that I really hate and don't feel like this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I have considering going back to school next year to a 2 year school that allows you to get an Associates and transfer to a 4 year school. I have had dreams of working for a big media company like ESPN or CNN etc., but I wanted to know what other careers can you get into with a Bachelors of Science or Arts in Communications, mainly geared towards mass communications. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My girlfriend and I share her computer. Our iTunes account is in her name and when she sync's up her phone and ipod it's all her info. Can I create a new account on there and just log on and off and have my own private itunes account so I don't get all her stuff on there? Can I do it on the version of itunes we have now or do I have to download the newer version? Thanks

I have weights, bench and anything else I need to start working out. I need help with coming up with a good plan to use and stick with. I work M-F 7-7. I leave my house at 6AM and don't get home until around 8PM. I would like to start working out 3-4 days/week. I have protein powder(cytogainer) and creatine. These supplements have been sitting around for 6 months and I'd like to start using them. Can anybody help me with a good plan to use and how to incorparate the supplements in as well.

My girlfriend has poison ivy all over but it's on her face and I'm starting to worry. Underneath her eye is swollen. We have cream that was prescribed to her last year when she had it. It wasn't on her face though. She has been putting the cream on the area under her eye. She just got out of the shower and it is starting to swell. I gave her benadryl (oral) and she has an ice pack on it. Any advice besides going to the doctor that would help. Thanks

How much do window cleaning companies charge for both commercial and residental jobs on average? Do they estimate by each window or go by the whole job?

How does digital tv work? how is it similar to radio and tv when it was pre-digital? How is it different? Thoughts?
