Here where I live Court jobs pay excellent, plus there are all sorts of benefits, pensions, and a lot of time off. They're very had to come by, though. Some of them are civil service, and some is definitely who you know. I was a paralegal for a long time before I became an MT and I always wished I was able to get in the Court system.

I like the Dirty Jobs show. Some of the jobs they
show are really quite interesting. 
2 jobs
Would this put you over 40 hours/week? If so, they might have a problem with paying the overtime.
should be most jobs were, not was!

There are no jobs where I am sm
I had thought of working part-time in a mall to get the discount, do some Christmas shopping, get out to see people, only a few days here and there. Our newspaper used to have at least 3-4 full pages, 7-8 on the week-end, down to 1 column on weekdays, 2 on weekends. Most are heavy lifting jobs for men and/or must speak Spanish, especially if medical. So I buy extra at every sale, extra everything, use coupons, got 30% off from Kohl's and loaded up, softened every warm clothing buy for the kids with a toy on sale. They only wanted toys in the past but this year it will be warm PJ's or a nice dress with a toy inside. The only thing is I am getting depressed from clutter, too much "stuff" all over but have to remind myself some have nothing. We do not go out to eat except perhaps soup in a sour bread bowl on special just every other week or at a Panera Bread just to say we "went out," bought video movies for a dollar at church bazaars (all Disney) for grandkids, using our VCR which will be obsolete soon but can still watch movies on old TV's. Cutting back in general, baking bread, baking cookies, really clipping and saving everything I can get my hands on. Walmart does not accept internet coupons, so check the newspaper. I do read labels on food from Walmart as some is from China. Joined a wholesale club but found it more expensive than most stores, so we can get our money back, refund in 3 months so they tell us. I really wish I had been more frugal when I made decent money at MT, I can now see I was wasteful and shame on me! I should know better, have been through recessions before. They do turn around and the only good thing is they give us a swift kick in the rear! Feel sorry for those who can barely make it, work is hard to come by in New England and a lot are losing their jobs, even teachers with over 20 years. No one knows when the next shoe will fall, even malls are failing. I am leaving all tags on gifts this year, usually cut them off, but with so many people returning things for the money, they said it's going to be a zoo they think, and even though I get gift receipts, I want them to see where it came from so the store won't give them grief. Target is the worst for returns. So that's my story here in cold, sleeting today, NE.

Pruning pyracanthas....
Giving out food samples of granola bars in the grocery store.....
One day each...I quit.
I have not not too many jobs but - sm
Worst --- Administrative Assistant to the stingiest man---He pounded out 150% out of you if he could, paid only about half of what you were worth, were not allowed OT but he would try to make you work at least 30 mins every day, no was not salaried, were lucky to get Christmas day (thanksgiving, etc). We would get out about 15 minutes early on Christmas Eve (i.e. 4:45) and the office was DEAD-- no parties allow either. Place had horrible morale. He was Jewish and observed all the Jewish holidays but the rest of us could jump in a lake basically. He could squeeze a dime out of a penny. He would pretend he was a travel agent to get cheap rooms, did a lot of international travel--company paid vacations somewhat. He was a very hard worker, but liked his luxuries and I had to scurry about making sure all sort of stuff was done personal and business, even had to show his condo that he was renting out; he got so mad at me when I tipped the refrigerator delivery guys $10; and another time I made him pay to fix my carpet in my car as he had me pick up bleach for work (caps not on good apparently) and it spilled all over my car. After that he made his wife buy all the work cleaning supplies. The job taught me a lot but did not like the conviving and constant lying so he could get something for free or at a huge discount. We did not have a time clock so he would make me or my mom write down what time people came in the door in the morning....we had to be there 15 minutes before everyone else at 7:45. He died last year from pancreatitis, almost a year to the day my mom died which I though ironic. When my mom quit (she worked there too in the front office) 5 months after I did-- I moved and married-- he told her she could not afford to quit--it was funny. My dad saved more than enough for them and they were quite comfy financially, and their house was paid off. She probably banked $250,000 to $300,000 working for him as they did not need that money (20 years of salary saved) to live on.
THEN I went onto the BEST--also Administrative Assistant for a competitor in another state. He paid me more, I had about half the work load, set my own hours (7 - 2:30), got paid for lunch of 30 mins, just a nice man who did not cheat people, had an impecable reputation. Even gave a Christmas bonus and a week off at Christmas, though not paid--Christmas was of course--, but still was nice. He was sorry to see me go, but moved again, said his office never ran so smoothly.

Jobs
Because the unemployed white collar workers wouldn't be caught dead taking a menial job such as receptionist at a doctor's office. Actually they can't take those jobs because their unemployment check is higher than what a doctor's office pays.
Do not worry about those jobs....
Doing VR and dictator said had positive occult stools ----VR put down positive alcohol school. Lets drink up folks!!!
Trade jobs with him for a day
You may find that your job really is rather cushy! 
They have jobs & pay for all their own stuff. Just have to do away
s
Here, those jobs are HARD to get
The elementary aide jobs in this county pay @$12.00/hour (your location may vary),lots of paid holidays, great hours, vacation time, sick days, insurance, and retirement.
I worked as an aide in an elementary school in the past when I was in a master's degree program but left the program (and the area) when I had a financial downturn.
To give you an idea of what it may entail, in my school I had duties such as hall duty (keeping the noise to a dull roar and horseplay to a minimum in the morning before classes begin and after school), cafeteria duty (making sure the right classes go to the right tables and fetching forgotten forks, napkins, and condiments), bus duty (helping children get on the right buses), as well as things such as testing for reading level placement and working with one group of students in a subject while the teacher works with another group.
Some of the aide jobs are more clerical in nature, some are in the library, some are to help the special education kids. Once you get in, you can usually find your niche and gravitate towards it.
It is never routine! I, too, am a burned out MT now and would love to get one of those jobs again, but it is very difficult to obtain one here.
I'm applying for other jobs now.
I go in for NICU secretary interview later this week. I just can't take it one more day. It has been many years of being bored out of my mind. I need to SEE people again too. Wish me luck!
State jobs.......
Problem is with state jobs the application process lasts for a good period of time, so he needs to review the cut off date for applications. It could possibly be another couple of weeks before the cut off. But, state jobs are horribly slow in replying to the applicants. I would give it this week, check the cut off date for applicants, and then call them and inquire if the position has been filled. At least he will know then.
Dirty Jobs
I am soooo glad in knowing I am not the only one who thinks he is cute! He just seems like he would be so much fun to be around and really enjoys life. I have no problem when my son changes the channel to what that. He just doesn't know I secretly like the host!!! 
Dirty Jobs
Same here, my husband and son don't know I like him either. I'm afraid that would ruin it for them and they would never want to watch it. I love the Mike. He is hilarious and I agree with the other posters - the goeduck episode was the best ever! I can watch it over and over and LMAO every time. I giggle just thinking about it.
Haven't had that many jobs....but
The most boring job I had was as a receptioninst in a small doctor's office. There was nothing to do beyond greeting patients, answering the phone and scheduling. I made busy work for myself, but even that didn't take too long to finish, so I got paid to read. Sometimes read 2 books a week.
I have to say the most interesting job has been since I started as an MT. There are days it is the worst job EVER, but I have always been intersted in the medical field and I usually learn something new every day.
MMM, Dirty Jobs - what's that guy's name? sm
He's hot. :D
I agree about odd jobs
My grandmother recently hired to different men to do odd jobs for her that she found advertised in the newspaper. I am not trying to tell you how to live your life, but in one of the ads the man stated that he was a Christian and that is why he got the job.
Offshore jobs
You know, sounds like a job like that would be right up my alley - my kids are grown and I love to cook. I'm looking for something with variety and want to relocate. Any tips on how to get jobs like that (I live in California). I'd pack up and leave here in a heartbeat...too danged expensive to live here...
I have worked so many jobs and so long
have lot more than the average bear to collect so I figure that (this is if I hold out health wise until then of course or even live for that part)that the 2 full incomes together will be icing on my cake. I want to make a decent salary now and cannot stand to think about them taking some of my money away (it is bad enough for the tax folks).
Have worked since age 13, most jobs ever was 4 at 1 time
I posted asking about taking social security early, not retiring because it is just not what I want to do. It is not that I cannot afford but like you, just want to continue on. I will reach total retirement age in 2009 but then I want my money from work, the money from social security and then I have a retirement from a hospital where I was vested of over $500 a month- I hope to be able to get all that. It would double the amount I bring in per month now because, get this, I finally got down to part-time (32 hours per week), only 1 job but totally addicted. It is so easy now, being at home, doing the same work I have done for 17 years, easy, easy!
Happened to many here - all different category jobs!
Kind of a domino effect, one industry affects the other, it's very common and hard on everyone because they "suggest" in some cases and "insist" in others upon taking unpaid days off. If you say "no" you are considered not a team player and probably be the first one out the door. Scary situation. Go along to get along and cut back on extras, I guess, if it's possible.
I have taken many drug tests for many jobs...
and never felt like a criminal. It is just the way things are. I would far rather have drug users weeded out of medical positions,welfare and unemployment than to not take the test. I don't know why anyone who does not use drugs would feel humiliated by taking a test. Just my opinion.
Court TV is now Tru TV as of 1 1 08 nm.

Some will go to court WITHOUT you..sm
without informing you. Its your word against theirs that you were/werent served with a notice to appear. Next thing you know, you get a letter that a judgment has been entered against you. (Happened to me, and worse.)
Although hard with our jobs, exercise helps. At least 45
sleepy
I've looked for jobs on CraigsList!
Nice site. My sister lives there, LOL.
Good for you. I could have worked 2 jobs, but I chose to
spend my time with my kids so they would know they had a mother, not just an I'll never ask anybody for help, never at home, money-making machine.
this should be challenged in court
This is NOT a communicable disease and should NOT be mandatory. What about possible side effects, what about 20 years down the line when they discover it caused a new problem. No. It is wrong to make this mandatory. This regards one's personal health decisions, for their CHILD no less. What next?
You need to get it back into court sm
and get this changed. Is there any reason you feel you might deprived of all visitation privileges? So hard to give real advice or opinion without the details. Sad for you though, must be hard. You need some court mandated visitation rules.
Yep, ordered to court but you might be ok
the only exempt 1 today was a new owner and he had just had lawn put down- but having said that- you are only allowed maybe a month and then after that a homeowner on same restrictions as others so don’t know how much it could get roots and grow by them. We have sprinkler system but I try not to use if I can, just too expense and I am cheap!
I know my chances are 0 with that court
You said "I've seen them put kids in the custody of parents who are known to abuse them when the other parent has no problems, etc."
That's exactly the situation here. My son wants to live with his dad due to his lax (to put it mildly) parenting skills and will cheefully lie to keep daddy out of trouble. The last custody battle was the worst nightmare I ever hope to go through, every lie the ex told was taken as gospel, every truth I told was "alleged" - and while the judge was making the custody decision, my ex went to jail for being drunk and naked in his yard while my child was present, the court was quite aware of this and he STILL got awarded custody. I am really reluctant to jump into another such fiasco, and I told my son until he is ready to tell the judge in writing he wants to live with me, I won't go back to court.
I am convinced that by the time I got to court my son would be back in school, it would be a moot point, I would be told its "normal" to miss that much school, ex would get a pat on the head for his "loving parental concern", and the ex would retaliate by counter-filing to double or triple my child support payments.
That particular court has told me "lots of children go to school filthy and in rags, its the community norm, its no big deal". My child has experienced recurrent scabies and lice due to his father's lifestyle, (which is also "normal" to the court) so I am utterly amazed at his dad's sudden concern for his health.
when you go to court in the USA, you swear on..sm
In every court in the USA, one swears on a bible, probably the New Testament (I know it's not the Old Testament), and no matter who you are, you have to swear on the Bible (in a trial case). I would swear on it - it's a book about God, no matter if it's the old one or the new one, and as a result it still holds up as a respectable Bible to me for swearing to God.....I revere all books such as this, for everyone's religious beliefs.
Unfortunately, I am court ordered to do it
..
They will take you to court, without doubt.
It isn't too little for them. If they have evidence you owe that debt, then they have legal recourse to collect.
If it goes to court, you will get a judgement against you. It will go on your credit record and they can also garnish wages to receive their money. They may be entitled to other collection means.
It won't matter whether you send a cease and desist letter -- it is a debt you legally owe. You need to call them immediately and discuss your concerns over the legitimacy of the claim. Never, ever avoid them - it will just cost you more in the long run.
yes, you can go to the family court and do that on your own.
You do not need an attorney. Research online. I think you even HAVE to do this, updating the financial situations for the sake of the children.
so what r u taking her to court for?
You didn't cosign for the vehicle. You didn't loan her the $$ for her electric bill. You didn't want any profit from the business. The only thing I saw you mention was at the end about animal food, etc, but isn't that considered start-up costs of a business?
Sorry, don't mean to make you madder, just confused.
Anyone else ever seem to get GI problems when stressed out with these jobs. My abdominal area
actually feels sore or irritated.
Oy! Remember this..school counselors have these jobs because typically sm
they cannot hack it in the real world in their field. They try to intimidate parents when they can. I had one try to to tell me my daughter was dyslexic in the 4th grade. No, she was not. She just read at an 8th grade level then and the "baby books" (my daughter's words) bored her to death so she really did not read them.
Then at another point, she tried to tell me that she had a problem with math. Yes, she did. It was not her strong point but she was making B's so good. She started insisting on extra tutoring etc. I said fine. BUT hired my own tutor (as we live in the same town as a college that one of the majors is teaching). Boy, she really did not like that needless to say!
Counselors.. We can live without them and we don't have to put up with them. Just put he/she in her place.
TV crush -- Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs is So Hot!!!
Oh man, he is so funny and manly and smart. That show is so loaded with sexual innuendo. Can't get enough. Think he is a fine specimen of man... yummy yummy.
I have watched enough court room TV
to know that if someone offers to store stuff for another person, they are obligated to make sure that it is properly taken care of. I remember one case where someone had taken the items that they offered to store and then put them in the hallway outside the unit when they got in an argument. Of course they were stolen! That is negligence. They offered to store them for her. They should have parked them with their own quads, as obviously they thought that was safer than near the street, geez.
I agree that it is sad to lose a relationship over $1700, but they were clearly negligent with her property. If her sister was any kind of a woman, she would have admitted it was her fault. I also think that if she would have just admitted it and said sorry that the OP would probably not have been as upset as she was. I have no doubt some of that resentment is due to the fact that they are taking no responsibility whatsoever.
You need to contact the supreme Court
Florida tried to make sacrificing animals illegal but were overturned by the Supreme Court in 1993 for interfering with religious practices.
You can be held in contempt of court and go
NM
When you are summonds to court, do you have a choice
about whether you can show up or not?? What was the good behavior, no more sex films for the time being, not more than 3 DUIs? I have not heard about her good behavior.
I got wrong information from court..
Told I could go in and collect enough to not only pay what they owe me but also to cover the truck I rented this morning and also more court costs because they would sell in 1 bundle on court house steps. The deputy this morning tells me I can only get what totals up to my amount. This is where I am left- paying out of pocket for another truck, renting a storage place for a month, running ad in paper to advertise the sale and then also paying for other costs, autioneer. Now if someone bids $5.00 and no one else goes higher - they get for $5.00. You are so right- if I stole from them I would be under the jail. How a place like this stays in business- not small place - 4 around town. They are on Kudzu and I will write scathing report after this is over plus better business but right now trying to find out bank. I could sit there but I do work and how can I work that? Have no idea when anyone would go to the bank. I can garnish- thought about having someone pay check there for a small amount and then see where deposited. That would take me another month or so though and I am chomping at the bits as I type.
By not transcribing a court hearing
a woman here in town is now sitting in jail. She either did not want to or ignored not finishing a particular case and when she did so called finish, she was 90 pages short. The judge has just sent her to jail. Ekkk.
maybe i watch too many court shows, but...
couldn't you locate him through his police/firefighters' union and take him to small claims court. if it was truly a loan and not a gift, you have a case and if it is under a certain amount of money depending on your state, you do not need a lawyer. do not give up; he could lose his job over fraud!
Small claims court.
Call your local legal aid. They should be able to tell you if you have a case. I think you might be able to take her to small claims court. She is not holding up her end of the bargain.
Edit jobs state send for path with pt on table, get
x
small claims court - sue them both for the balance - sm
But.... talk to your niece about it and let her know that in order to sue her ex roomie for the money, you also have to sue her.
Let it be a life lesson and tell her it's not like you hold anything against her but you have bills too and can't support hers.
