Is it fair that your boss names your successor while you are still in office?

ronaldinu @ronaldinu (12422) • Malta 28 Feb 10

For me it does not make much sense but it happens in football at least. I mean it is much more wiser to let someone finish his job and than name his successor afterwards. It would be a severe blow my ego if a successor would be...

JanetBRudman I felt that my seat wasn't even vacant yet and I was already replaced. Even though I was resentful, I was still getting paid. I imparted everything I knew about the job while training the new secretary, and we became friends. I even covered for her when she...

missybear @missybear (11391) • United States 28 Dec 08

I rent my 1 bedroom apartment now for over 6 years. I wish i could afford to buy a house but i can't and my credit isn't that great so that doesn't help. Where do you live? House or Apartment and do you like it?

JanetBRudman I used a contractor, who brought in sub-contractors. I spent most of my IRA money. If I didn't take care of my dad, he'd have to go in a nursing home. So I hope he lasts long enough to enjoy all the fixings. I still want to turn the tub in the hall bathroom...

For people to come visit. My Mum and Dad had said that they were coming today and that it would be in the morning. It is now lunch time and there is still no sign of them. I got my son out of bed early just in case they came while...

JanetBRudman I forgot about Saturday night "dates" in my younger years. Some guys stood me up or canceled at the last minute, after I got all dressed up. They didn't impress my parents at all, so I dumped the so-called boyfriend after I gave them a piece of my mind.

Most times when parents have a baby their deepest hope is that they grow up strong, healthy and happy. They don’t worry about what they will be when they grow up. Some families expect their child to follow in their footsteps as...

JanetBRudman I make a schedule with times of when my father should take his meds (he has 13). He checks it off as he takes each. They are scattered throughout the day. Maybe you can do a schedule too.

Down to the bone. Have you ever broken a bone and how did it happen?

anawar @anawar (2404) • United States 30 May 08

Several years ago I was wallpapering my kitchen. Instead of using a ladder, I was standing on the counter top. If I stretched my arm just a bit more, I thought I could reach over to the window. Next thing I knew, I was sailing...

JanetBRudman I left out several parts. The orthopoedist prescribed Darvocet, but it upset my stomach. Even after the surgical repair, due to pain I hardly slept. I had a fixator cuff attached to the screws, which came off. I was told that if I wore a cast, I would wind up...
