Thank you!

I’m 22 and work at a law firm in Massachusetts. It pays great (well, great to me is $500 a week after taxes). Some of the people I work with are cool, but for the most part, I work with a bunch of rich, spoiled, pompous, trust-fund babies; and I **** people like that!

I feel that life is too short to spend most of my time at a job which isn’t “me.”

Does anyone know what I can do for work which puts me around people more of my age? A place where I can have fun, be outgoing, have a little more excitement and still pay the bills (even if it’s a little bit of a pay cut from where I’m working now)?

I need a job/career where I can be MYSELF!

Thanks for the help everyone!!!

I am working at walmart and want a career change. I am applying at places like target, best Buy, and Kmart. I have an interview with Kmart thursday. honestly I **** working in retail. I feel I do not have the personality for it. Of all the jobs I liked best it was mcdonalds i stayed there for 5 years. I would prefer to work in banks, hotels, restaurants, convenient stores, and supermarkets. I want jobs where my strategic planning, Creativity, analytical thinking, cultural sensitivity, and efficiency will be put to use. I am strong in math science and history. I would also like a job that would encourage me to study the languages I want to learn. I am trying to learn farsi, Hindi, Japanese, russian, mandarin, Arabic, Turkish, Vietnamese, Spanish, Italian, tagalog, Urdu and French.I plan to be a culinary student. My location is not very desireable for me either. I live in Massachusetts and really want to relocate. My states of choice are Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Missouri, South Carolina, Maryland, New York and Delaware. i am also interested in relocating outside the U.S as well. I would love to work in the Middle East, Asia, India Russia and South america. Any suggestions.

i have been working at this job for 6 months. i live in springfield ma. i just recently got laid off. i have never filed for unemployment before. Some of my frieds are telling me diffent information. I live in Massachusetts. They say u need to work for 3 months others say 6. One also told me in order to get unemployment money u have to have a minimum gross of 3500 dollars. Could anyone tell me the steps to get unemployment checks and wat facts are true and wat are false?

So.
My dad has always been an abusive alcoholic. He’s hit me and verbally abused me if I didn’t give him my money to support his addiction. He’s even called me “sexually attractive” on more than one occasion, but has said he doesn’t see any problems with his actions.

My mother is aware of all of this.
They divorced in August 2007.

He lives in an RV about an hour away from my mother and I.
My mother and I continue live in the same 1,500 sq.ft. house in the southwest side of Houston, TX. We’ve lived here since 1994.

Since August 2007 my father has frequently visited my mother and I.
He usually comes on weekends.

I don’t want to have any sort of contact with him at all.
I’ve told that to my mother several times over the years, but she never seems to do anything about that.

My father has been in and out of rehab for several years, but has never remained sober for more than three months.

As a consequence of growing up with an alcoholic father, I developed mild OCD, slight anxiety, and I can’t seem to get close to people/I have trouble trusting people because of the constant disapointments and manipulations from my father.

I am from Boston, Massachusetts.
I was born there in 1993 and lived in Quincy (city just south of Boston)
before moving to Houston, as said, in 1994.
I consider Boston home, not just because of all the bad memories of my father in Houston, it’s because everytime I go up to visit New England, it just feels like home.
I feel more at home in Boston than I ever did in Houston.

That being said, I want to move to Boston. (Well, Brookline/Newton since I’m still in high school)
The reason is pretty obvious.
I want to move on with my life.
I don’t want to keep re-living the dark memories that have haunted me for so long… that still continue to haunt me actually.
I want a fresh start.
I know it isn’t easy, however.

My mom just lost her job at American Express travel agency.
She has looked, but wasn’t able to find a job in Boston nor here in Houston.

My mom says she’s tired of my father and the choices he continues to make, but still continues to talk to him daily over the phone and he comes over on Saturdays now to visit.

I don’t see him.
I sleep whenever he comes over.
I haven’t talked to him in over two months.
I’m proud of myself that I have made small steps to move on.
My mother hasn’t, obviously.

But it’s hard to move on with your life when your mother still continues to have contact with someone you ****.

I don’t want to be this bitter person.
I want to be happy.

So, my question is, what should I do to convince my mother to stop communicating with my father and move to Massachusetts in order to move on with our lives.

[I have asked and no my mother does not love/ is not in love with my father]
[I appoligize for such a long post]

I’m an exercise physiology student from the University of Massachusetts – Lowell. I’m very interested in pursuing a career as a doctor in physical therapy in the future. I figured that I would start learning more about the field through a physical therapy aide job.

As a physical therapist, how would you like a student present himself or herself asking for a job? Do you like it when he or she asks straight out if there is a PT aide job, or would you like a full introduction of themselves? Would you recommend a resume? This is my first PT aide job. I did have some medical experience (volunteer job) at a cancer center. Give me as much information about this!!

(in US)

these people are screwing the AMERICAN taxpayer
and getting away with it

BARNEY FRANK STRIKES AGAIN
Last seen running political interference for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as they pumped up and then popped the multi-trillion dollar housing bubble, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is now making sure that our tax dollars are bailing out an inept but politically connected bank in his home state:

Troubled OneUnited Bank in Boston didn’t look much like a candidate for aid from the Treasury Department’s bank bailout fund last fall.

The Treasury had said it would give money only to healthy banks, to jump-start lending. But OneUnited had seen most of its capital evaporate. Moreover, it was under attack from its regulators for allegations of poor lending practices and executive-pay abuses, including owning a Porsche for its executives’ use.

Nonetheless, in December OneUnited got a $12 million injection from the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. One apparent factor: the intercession of Rep. Barney Frank, the powerful head of the House Financial Services Committee.

Mr. Frank, by his own account, wrote into the TARP bill a provision specifically aimed at helping this particular home-state bank. And later, he acknowledges, he spoke to regulators urging that OneUnited be considered for a cash injection.

* * *

The bank that Rep. Frank of Massachusetts went to bat for, OneUnited, saw its capital level sink in early September after the U.S. took control of the overextended mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. OneUnited, a closely held Boston-based lender with offices in Florida and California too, held large amounts of Fannie Mae preferred shares. Their value plunged after the U.S. put Fannie and Freddie into a federal conservatorship, acquired preferred shares in them and took warrants entitling the government to nearly 80% of their common stock.

The moves left OneUnited’s capital badly depleted. A measure called “Tier 1 risk-based capital” equaled only 1.88% of assets at the bank, versus a desired level of about 6%. A OneUnited lawyer, Robert Cooper, says he called Rep. Frank and Rep. Maxine Waters of California, both Democrats, to complain that the Treasury’s move had hurt the bank.

Rep. Waters heads the House Financial Services subcommittee on housing, and until last spring her husband, Sidney Williams, was a OneUnited director. Rep. Frank, besides heading the Financial Services Committee, has longstanding ties to OneUnited, and recalls having had a deposit account at a predecessor bank in the 1960s.

Later that month, Rep. Frank was intimately involved in crafting the legislation that created the $700 billion financial-system rescue plan. Mr. Frank says that in order to protect OneUnited bank, he inserted into the bill a provision to give special consideration to banks that had less than $1 billion of assets, had been well-capitalized as of June 30, served low- and moderate-income areas, and had taken a capital hit in the federal seizure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The TARP bail-out program is beginning to look like nothing but a political scam — on a grandiose scale. The government takes hundreds of billions of our money and then doles it out to political cronies like OneUnited Bank. Meanwhile, less well connected banks like National City are thrown to the wolves — and thousands of people lose their jobs.

With unintentional irony Frank pinpoints the cause of this entire mess:

“I did feel that it was important to frankly try and save them since it was federal action that put them into the dumper,” Mr. Frank says.

Frank’s escapades provide further proof of Ronald Reagan’s maxim that the most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

Since federal action (with Barney Frank as its #1 cheerleader) put us “into the dumper,” the Feds and Frank should get their grubby, incompetent hands off the economy and our wallets. Both will recover far quicker and more efficiently on their own than they will with any number of politically directed federal bail-outs or “stimulus” packages.

Born in 1901 Florence South Carolina, William H. Johnson grew up in a poor family of seven being the eldest child. Without any money and Johnson was limited to the skills that were hidden within him. Johnson at an early age discovered that he had strong abilities to draw. Using these drawing skills to his advantage he started to create penning cartoons for local newspapers. With the help of this and a variety of jobs, he was able to save enough money to pay for the art education program at the Prestigious National Academy of Design in New York City, where he moved at the age of seventeen in 1921. His teacher Charles Harthorne helped Johnson throughout his years and helped him get into the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts during the summers of 1923 to 1926 where he graduated. Johnson did not have the supporting type of family when growing up. His mother was black with a Sioux ancestry and his father was white. His father had never supported him in his life, and was not looking forward to the goals he had. Johnson had never given up, winning the Cannon prize in 1924 and 1926 and the Hallgarten prize in 1925.
In 1926 Johnson moved to France in search of a better life with more Opportunities. There he met a weaver; Holcha Krake in 1930, before marrying her, Johnson went to South Carolina. In South Carolina he was thrown in jail, because he painted a brothel known to him only as the Jacobia Hotel. Returning to Denmark he married and lived with Krake for the next eight years in rural areas of Denmark and Norway. During these years he sold paintings until he was employed as a mural painter for the WPA. While employed he learned art techniques such as silkscreening. Some of his paintings were silkscreening, like the Going to Church, Jitterbugs, and the Street Musicians. Some of his other works are oil on canvas and oil on board paintings, such as Minnie, Landscape with the sun, and Lamentation.
During World War II he moved back to New York City to get away from Nazism. Johnson moved back to New York just to find himself in even more problems. *********** marriages and the horrid depression were obstacles to live with. During his time in New York City, Johnson taught at the Harlem Community art Center around 1940. In 1944 his beloved wife Holcha died from ****** cancer. Following Krake’s death, Johnson was deteriorating. He spent twenty-three years of his life in a state hospital in Long Island, New York. Johnson died April 1970 due to physical and mental health problems.
William Henry Johnson was a well educated man. He went through thick and thin during his years of life. He lived a hard childhood, but managed to make it through during his teen and adult years. His great fortune was not money, but his creativity and ability to draw. Johnson was one of the greatest artists during the Harlem Renaissance period.
