Need somework advice, please!?
Ok, first lets start off with my big problem. I work as an assistant manager for a large retail company. For the last two months we have had a flea infestation. Yes that's right I said fleas. And I don't work in a pet store. There is really no reason we should have fleas. But we do. The flea infestation isn't as bad as it was. But the point is, is that we've had them for TWO MONTHS! I have called pest control and they have come out and done what they do. But they need to keep coming back. And my company won't send them back until I call and complain again. They have probably come out five times. Along with the company not really caring, my store manager basically blows the whole situation off as well. She says that they do not bother her. I think she has called to address the situation twice. Maybe. Im getting pretty fed up. I have personally set off "bombs" and that didn't get rid of the fleas. I even called the health department. We sell food but do not serve it. The health department really didn't get me anywhere either. I've sent email to District Manager and that gets me nowhere. In the past two months we have gotten a new DM though. The new guy tries to help but does whatever the company says. Which I understand but we've dealt with these too long. My companies solution to this problem is for us to mop the floors every night with bleach water and spray ourselves with off or cutter before we go home. Off and cutter repel fleas as well. It does not kill them though. I just need advice on what I should do. Ive considered quitting and trying to file for unemployment. I have pictures proving we have fleas. Actually pictures with the fleas on my legs. Yeah I know its disgusting.
My next major issue with this company is, our air conditioner has been "out of order" for about two weeks now. They sent a maintenance man out and they ordered a part. We found out the other day that the part was in but the electrician was waiting on a confirmation number for my company. I just can't believe things operate like this. We have customers complain and the average temp is about 85F. Any advice on what I should do?
I need logically advice too. I've called basically all I can call. My store manager doesn't seem to care. I really don't think I can fix that issue though. But the other two especially the fleas is outrageous.

2 AnswersOther - Electronics1 decade agoADULT QUESTION ONLY! Sex Health, is this normal?
Okay so I haven't had a period for 3 months. I have taken HPT's and all are negative. Anyway I am going to call the Doctor Monday to make an appointment. Anyway, we my hubby and I have intercourse is it normal for his sperm/semen to leak out of me. I know to much information but he is the first guy I have never used a condom with and Im not sure what is normal. It seems to be the majority of his "stuff." When I go to the doctor I am going to have a blood test done. But I sometimes worry about things to much. I just need some answers. But I wanted to know if other people experienced this as well. Thank you!
4 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoNot sure what to do. Need some opinions?
Okay let me start from the beginning. My fiance bought two Polaris 800 in a buddy pack for him and his older step-brother about year and a half ago. We had just started dating so I wasnt going to tell him it was a bad idea. The bad idea wasnt that he got one for the brother too, it was that they would end up paying way to much for the four wheelers. The brother wanted one and said he would pay his half and all that. Okay so they get the four wheelers and step-brother has had some issues with paying on time. Then we got slapped with these back taxes. So I set a plan up for them to each pay $50 a month. That happened about 8 months ago. My fiance has paid it all except $100. Ok now today step-brother called and said he wants to give the four wheeler back. He is having back surgery and cant afford it anymore. Im not completely mad. I am happy that he called us now but damn thats $439 a month we will be spending in four wheelers. The payment for the four wheelers a month is $339, then $100 for taxes. I am one of the lucky people right now to not have a job and my fiances hours got cut. We live with my parents and are getting married in 53 days. So money is really tight. We are paying for the majority of our wedding ourselves. We are also paying for the rehearsal dinner. Yea thats traditional the grooms parents deal. But they dont have the money. My fiance and his little brother are the outcasts of the family. The step-brother is my fiances step-moms baby. He does no wrong. It makes me angry because my fiance has never really had a mom and his dad picks her kids over his own. But anyway what really should would do? I know we have to take it back because Im not letting him keep it for free. But that really puts us in a spot. Really just need some advice. Should I get an attitude or just let him out of his responsibilities. By the way he makes like $20 an hour at a coal mine. Not underground. My fiance makes $400/ wk. Not like that matters.
3 AnswersFamily1 decade agoSteps for Wedding Day!?
So I am getting married in May and I have only been to one wedding in my whole life. I was five so it wasn't like I was taking a notebook out to write things down. Anyway, we have no idea the order things are supposed to go. As far as the ceremony I need to know how people are walked in and what not. I need to know every little detail. Unity candle, prayer, all that. We are Christian and the groomsmen are walking in with the bridesmaids. But I need to know their order. Also the reception. Whats the order we are introduced into the reception. Then after that what do we do? There will be dancing and finger foods. Of course the cake too. If you know of any websites that have a list of orders that would be great too. Thanks to all that help!
8 AnswersWeddings1 decade agoDo It Yourself Wedding Tips!?
Okay so first off I am getting married on May 23, 2009 and I am pretty much just working on the little details. Since we are on a budget we are pretty much doing everything ourselves. As far as the photography we are having a friend take the pictures for us. I dont see the need to spend thousands of dollars on a photographer. Also we are having two or my fiances friends be our D.J.'s. I am just pretty much having them introduce our parents, the bridal party and then us. I also am having them say something a little bit before we cut the cake and do the special dancing. Does anybody think I should have them say anything else. Just making sure I'm not missing anything. Also what order do things normally get done at a wedding reception? The reception is from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. So I figured to introduce everybody would take about 15 to 20 minutes. Then I didnt know if we should eat. (buffet style). So I just need some ideas on the order we should do things. I dont want his two friends to have to do to much. Thank you to anybody for their good advice.

3 AnswersOther - Internet1 decade agoCan a collection agency do this?
Okay so I've already asked a question regarding this but one response so I'm gonna try this. I have been paying on some back debt for Capital One for four months now. I'm not paying it to Captial One I am going through Greene & Cooper. Anyway I send money orders because I don't want them to find out my checking account number and take out all their money. I understand I owe them but they are a little ridiculous. I had been paying great for two months then they send me a letter stating that they have put a lien on real estate. I called and they said it was a precaution. The lady told me i couldn't buy or sell anything. Is that legal?
7 AnswersCredit1 decade agoGreene & Cooper attorney office!?
I wanted to know if anybody has dealt with them. I am paying them $100 a month on a credit card when I was 18. I don't like the way these people run their business. After two months on paying on time and everything they put a lien on real estate. Saying its a precaution. Now its been another two months, again paying on time and everything, and they are calling and left a voicemail saying this is about collecting debt. I've been trying to get ahold of them again. But the lady I have to go through is a shitty worker and I can never get ahold of her. Any advice or if anybody else has dealt with them what are your thoughts.

I have a three bedroom house and I am moving my computer room to a different room so we can remodel the computer room. Anyway in the room Im moving the computer to there is no phone jack.
