One thing that I really loved about working for Nationwide Insurance so many years ago was all of the training that they provided us. Most of it took place at the Regional Office which was over fours away, so that meant that we were usually put up in a hotel and were provided with an expense account which was always such a blast for me and the other employees that I drove down with. I just loved the idea of spending a night away from home in a nice hotel and being able to eat out instead of having to do the cooking myself. A mini vacation for a working mother such as myself.

These days the Internet has made it possible to keep employees from having to travel so much by bringing a lot of training right to them, saving companies a good amount of money along the way. Now a days there are sites like securityawarenesstraining.com that have everything that you need for employees to learn about all kinds of awareness training. They even have sexual harassment videos through this site, and we all know how important sexual harassment training is in today’s work place.

But what they really need is to really take action on people that are still continuing to sexual harass others at work. My oldest daughter seems to find herself being harassed at every place she finds employment. Trying to prove this behavior isn’t easy and she always ends up leaving while the idiots still continue on making money and taking advantage of girls/women. Managers are crooked, video tapes get lost or erased and the abuse just keeps on keeping on, a sad state of affairs. If my daughter wasn’t legally an adult at this point you can bet I’d be sticking my nose into and lighting some fires under some hind ends.

I got the most pathetic email from one of my nieces begging me to help her get her dream car financed for her. She is currently out of work, lives at home and has serious bad credit issues for someone of her young age. Her folks haven’t got the kind of money that is needed to help put a decent down payment on any type of car, much less this dream car that she has fixated her self on recently. Times are hard, people are losing the jobs, their 401k’s, their homes, not the best of times for looking for family members to help bail you out. We are all feeling the pinch, people are scared and rightfully so, with the economy in the toilet, with no end in sight.

I would rather come to her aid with a plea from her in assisting with “help me fix my credit” issues, that would be an easier request at this point. If she were to try and finance a decent vehicle in these times, I’m sure that she will be stuck with an extremely high interest rate, one that would set her up for failure from day one. She needs to buckle down and get a job and learn how to fix credit reports and earn her dream car the old fashioned way, with a little blood, sweat and tears, instead of dealing with best credit repair service issues at this point.

Credit Repair is a big to do these days and people are looking for The Best Credit Repair Service available to them in order to help them out of the bottomless pit that credit cards get put you in if you aren’t extremely careful. I have managed to pay off most of my credit card bills, I even had a credit card burning ceremony last year where I literally cut up and burned all but two of my credit cards in an ash tray before throwing them in the fire place as well.

It is important to have at least one credit card, one is manageable enough for most of us, but way too many people have way too many credit cards in their wallet that makes the temptation to use them way too easy. The quicker you cut loose from as many credit cards as possible the better off you will be, let there be no doubt about that. The first of the month, when the bills arrive, continues to come, month after month with no exceptions, no excuses, it can get pretty stressful and cause sleepless nights due to worry about these bills that keep coming.

Too many people have become trapped and have no other alternative then to turn to Credit Repair options that we are hearing about all over the TV, radio, newspapers, magazines as well as the Internet of course. At least there is a way out, it may not be easy, it may not be cheap but it’s there.

As a radio producer I have produced a local legal show for several years and as I was checking out several legal questions recently to get ready to do my show. I found a great web site that helped me a lot, the web site was for Criminal Attorneys in Los Angeles | California Criminal Law Questions and Discussion.

This fine site had a lot of the information I needed for my show prep. If you have any legal questions I recommend this fine web site to assist you. The KEG law firm is a top 5% US Law Firm, whose partners are Former Los Angeles District Attorneys, they can answer questions about criminal law and defense issues in any Southern California Court.

With so many uncertainties in today’s workforce it is becoming a challenge for many people who are trying to find their niche in a well established, well paying, and stable profession in a very unstable economy. The big trend towards going into one of the many medical fields is a well know one, but not everyone is cut out for any type of medical profession. My kid brother is one person who has decided to become a tax preparer, with the thought in mind that taxes are here to stay and there will always be a need for a good Registered Tax Return Preparer, which I have to agree with his train of thought this time around. We don’t generally agree on many things, so this is a nice change of pace for the both of us.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my kid brother and I have always tried to be there for him and support him in any way that I can, but we are just two totally different types of people and have never seen eye to eye from day one. I truly believe that there is hope for this guy, I just hope I live long enough to see him prosper and grow.

I keep hearing on the news almost every day about how the consumers are having trouble with their credit cards. So many of the credit card companies are arbitrarily raising people’s interest rates, or cancelling their cards, or lowering their limits. People are being warned that this kind of thing could happen to anyone, and people are starting to panic over how this is going to have a negative effect on their credit score.

If our economy is going to improve, we can’t put up with this kind of treatment! We need to take the time to compare credit cards and get the best deal we can get by using websites that give credit card reviews. I’ve recently opened up a No Interest Credit Card account that I found by using the Finance Globe website. I’m going to make sure to use it at least once a month to ensure that it is not cancelled due to non-use. I have good credit, and I hope that I will be able to hold onto my credit cards! But, if I run into snags, I know there are places I can go to try to get good deals on other cards!

How does it seem that we always hear about movie stars and athletes that carry guns to the airport and get caught. How does someone with normal intelligence not remember that they happened to have a gun in the one bag they choose to carry on the airplane. The list of people who had this stupid moment in their lives is huge. John Smith of Nowhere USA does not try to carry a gun on the plane why do the celebrities think they get a pass on this law.

I love the section of the local newspaper that has little news bites from around the world.  What got my attention today was the story about a Louisville Kentucky police officer being suspended for fifteen days for giving a ticket to a 7 year old boy who accidentally struck the police officer’s personal vehicle with a ball.  He ticketed the child for criminal mischief!  That got my attention because I really hate it when anyone in “authority” abuses that authority.  I did some Internet research and found out that not only did the police officer ticket the boy, but yelled at the mother for being a bad parent! 

 One of the articles that I read indicated that the police officer gave the boy the ticket because he was hoping that would prompt the mother into punishing the child.  Nowhere could I find anything that indicated that any damage was done.  I have to wonder what kind of ball it was, and if the child was really throwing the ball at the vehicle or if it was just lack of control on the part of the kid.  Regardless, I think that was an extreme thing to do.

I am hoping that the police officer is getting some kind of counseling because he sure must need it!  What was he thinking?

With Fan Fair over it seems we made it through the week with no stars losing their minds and creating havoc in the city. Every since I moved here in 1999 it seems that the week of Fan Fair one music star or another has gotten in trouble while here in the city for the celebration.  Along with the football players in town for the summer camps the music stars keep our police hopping.
