Trying to fire an employee today and he did not show up to work today?

What do you mean by "we were going to fire"? Who's "we"? I would think that the management of the company would know the answer to this question.

Has anyone ever seen spots of colors and gotten a headache after playing hours of video games?

My son is 11. He had recently gotten a new video game for his ps3, "Little Big Plantet". I have caught him staying up all night long playing it. A couple of days ago he started saying that when he would sit or stand, that he would see different colored spots. Then tonight while he was falling asleep he said as soon as he'd start to doze off, he'd see the colors. That game is very colorful. He also has a headache. He hasn't been sleeping or eating right, so I think he may also be a little dehydrated. Has anyone ever heard of these symptoms from excessive video game playing? He's asleep now, but I'm debating on whether I should take him to the ER, or call the Dr in the morning. He doesn't have any other symptoms accept for being really tired. He was up playing til 7am this morning!!!! Needless to say, he won't be playing for a few days. Thanks for any advise.

Really annoyed with people touching/ staring at my belly?

I'm only 14 weeks but its starting to show. My boyfriends family is always trying to see my belly or touch it. It REALLy gets me so angry, I have no idea why but I just find it annoying. I don't feel pregnant I feel like I'm just gaining weight and I just don't like to be stared at. Any advise? Am I the only one with this problem? I don't want to be rude but I just can't take it anymore.

What is causing my anxiety?

I too, have anxiety, so I feel your pain. I used to take prescription Lexapro to handle it. It is expensive though, so when I wasn't experiencing anxiety/panic attacks as much I got off of it. It seems like you get triggered when thinking about certain things. Other than getting a med to handle this there are several ways to handle it. First of all, and most important, take your mind off of the subject for a little bit. Next, close your eyes and take slow deep breathes and tell yourself that everything will be ok (seems corny, but it helps). Also, getting away and taking a walk helps me, especially if its a social trigger. I also have a job where I travel a lot and sometimes panic attacks arise, but after going through some of these exercises I manage to get rid of it.

How friendly or unfriendly in London Metropolitan Police?

I stayed at a hotel near London Heathrow Airport for approx. 15 days at an average rate of �50/day including VAT. While checking out, I was asked to pay �500 for a liitle additional cleaning effort. I found the stated amount to be too high and resisted payment. I strongly suspect that the manager of the given hotel has some arrangement (either periodic bribes and/or special discounts) with an officer of Metropolitan Police who initially threatened me regarding Criminal Damage. After finding no evidence to charge me against any offense, he bluntly told me that he can detain me for 24 hours without any charges whatsoever. I had to pay the given amount to avoid further delay and inconvenience. I was a victim of Blackmail and Extortion using the Powers assigned to Police (most like bribed by the Hotel Management). Are police officers in UK above the law?
