2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoHas anyone ever had to file a complaint at work concerning FLSA overtime laws?
I have recently spoken with someone from the US Labor office governing overtime/wage laws, and wondered how the process works as far as the subsequent investigation?

1 AnswerLaw & Legal1 decade agoHow do I watch movies on my Samsung Eternity cell phone?
Everything I have read states that the device supports Micro SD HC, and I have purchased and installed the card in the phone. When I have converted the movie files from avi to WMV or mp4 which both show to be acceptable files for the phone, when trying to send them to the phone through PC Studio, I keep getting the same error message. It says that the phone can't play them, and that I need to convert the files. When that long process is completed, nothing happens! HELP!!!!
1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoWhat if my employer has not made the proper adjustments for The Making Work Pay Tax Credit?
My paycheck has not changed. My employer has stated that 'he was not reimbursed by Obama for the cost of making the adjustments in the accounting system' and therefore we (the employees) would have to 'wait to get our lump at the end of the year'. Can he legally do this? None of us have amended our w-4, and thus I would think he is withholding more than we have claimed.

2 AnswersHobbies & Crafts1 decade agoHas anyone else had an issue with delayed shipping associated with their Blockbuster Total Access membership?
I have been a member now for Three months, and each month I have experienced an unexplained (at least legitimately explained) delay. When I say the explanation was not legitimate, I had reasons given to me that completely contradict what the info on their website states, or reson found nowhere in their listed info.
Example 1-I have had a few of their incapable customer care staff tell me that it takes 2-3 days for movies returned to the store to arrive back at the distribution center. The allow 1-2 business days for the next titles to ship. When in fact, their FAQ section states that movies returned/exchanged in store are the same as the movies having been returned to the distribution center, and that the next titles should ship by the end of the next business day.
Example 2-My most recent delay was when I returned two movies to the store on Saturday, and on Monday nothing shipped. Upon calling to talk to someone, as emailing is basically useless, I was told that "Mondays are a limited shipping day". Their website explains that their are no shipments being processed on Saturday and Sunday. There is no mention and had been no mention of this when speaking to any other customer care agents about previous delays/problems. So, why all of a sudden is this the reason for my delay?
I wonder, have any of you experienced this ridiculous situation, and feel like you've been screwed?

1 AnswerOther - Computers1 decade agoCan you tell me how much I should expect to pay to have concrete work done?
I am having work done to add to my existing back porch. Not much area will be poured (approx. 24 feet by 4 feet--just shy of 10 sq yds). The first quote I rec'd quoted me based on 5 sack concrete mix, and was roughly $800.00.
I want to know what the cost was folks paid on their concrete work, based on the cost per square yard, and what tips they may have to offer me as far as questions i might ask of potential contractors.

2 AnswersOther - Hardware1 decade agoWhy can I not get my two computers to network (they will not see each other on my network)?
I have a network named, it is the same for both my desktop and my laptop. They currently share a connection (desktop-wired, laptop-wireless) and they each have a unique name on the network. I have gone through the network set up wizard a million times thinking there is something I have missed, and yet they still do not show up to each other on my network places. No drives, no files, no folders whatsoever showup from one machine to the other.

2 AnswersHobbies & Crafts1 decade agoDoes anyone have any GOOD information about maternity supplemental insurance? Does such a thing exist?
My wife and I, believing we are pregnant, made an appointment with a doctor. The doctor's office called and informed us that we did not have maternity coverage with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Policy she is covered under....BCBS neglected to mention that at all when we were signing up for the policy. Don't you think that would be worth mentioning to a female seeking insurance.......
Can anyone give some advice here, as we can not afford to pay for the birth of a child out of pocket...or savings...or armored car theft!!!
