Keswick: Financial Representative - is there a catch?
I recently received a job offer to act as a financial representative for a company.
It was made vaguely clear that it was a customer service-type role, but basically said that I'd be accepting invoice payment on the company's behalf, and receive a salary as well as a commission for each payment.
Is this a safe job to get into? Are there any catches I need to know about before I make a decision?
I don't really want anyone hacking into my bank account or landing me into hot water with the law or anything.
But because of various banking
and legal restrictions, we are unable to open commercial
bank accounts in Australia. As such, [company name] is

Keswick: Should I quit my job, and take a lower paying job that's closer to home?
I takes me one hour to drive to work, and another hour to come back from work. It's 2 hours of commuting per day, that's 10 hours of commuting per week, and 40 hours of commuting per month.
The salary at my job is not bad, and it's not good either. I was offered a job at an office 2 blocks away from my house. The salary is lower, but if I take into account how much money I'll save, it's pretty much the same money. And there won't be any commuting.
I've worked at my current job for 4 years, and I think my chances of a promotion are the same now, as they were on my first day of work.
So, should I quit my current job?...

Keswick: My previous job stopped payment on checks they gave me after termination....?
So I had 3 total checks issued as my last checks... One was for Overtime, another for the one day of October I had worked, and then one for my commission.
It took them two week to issue me the first two (Overtime and the single day of work). I deposited them in my bank account as they where presented to me as my final checks and the commissions check was on it's way....
Once my commission check arrived (almost another two weeks later) I deposited it.
I was looking at my bank account and the first two checks they gave me they had stopped payment on them. The reason why: I did not earn the O/T, and then the day of work was re-issued in that final commission check.

My computer has been acting up in the past two weeks. Let me just give you a quick bit of information regarding my computer.

Keswick: So, I need some advice about my future career and what path I should take?
I applied to be a Philadelphia Police Officer in January of this year. The testing process began in May and I passed every test that I took. The night before my last test, the Phys. test, someone from the police academy called me and said that due to the city's recent budget cut, I would not be allowed to take my Phys. test or begin the Police Academy. I want to be a police officer though. So, that representative told me to try again in about 4 years. Well, now I am faced with the decision of what to do within those 4 years because I still need a job. My friends were telling me to go to a trade school for automotive and then in 4 years, go and be a cop. So, I talked to someone fr...

Keswick: Do you think it's OK to illegally use gov't computers to dig up personal info on people?
For example:
There was no legitimate business purpose for the head of Ohio's Department of Job and Family Services, Helen Jones-Kelley, to order staff to look up the records, Inspector General Tom Charles said.
Additionally: It also confirmed she improperly used her state e-mail account to raise campaign money for President-elect Barack Obama.
There were many background checks done without any legitimate business purpose. Do democrats want to do away with privacy for everyone, or just those voting against Obama?
What do you think about this?
You put the answer to your question in your question. The word is illegal.
I'm asking base...
