Question by Jackie S: Fair policy to fire someone?
Dear Fellow Business Owners
As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama will be our next president, and that my taxes and fees will go up in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Customer will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about 8-10%.
I will also have to lay off six of my employees. This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn’t know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I strolled thru the parking lot and found eight Obama bumper stickers on my employee’s cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.
I can’t think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know.

Question by : Am I overdoing the power in my room, gonna cause a fire and kill myself?
Currently, I have: 2 computers, one uses 550 watts of power, the other 350 watts, a tv, a fax machine/photocopier, internet modem, computer speakers, and the two computer screens that sometimes get pretty hot. In the future I’m going to hook my xbox 360 to my computer screen, and I’m saving up to buy a plasma for my room 
.
I live in Australia.

If your not blowing the power out then it sounds like you should be fine. Sounds better then some of the places I’ve lived. You probably should do something about the screens getting hot though, i’m not sure what though. Your hooked up, huh.
Answer by tholeeder
your not running all that at the same time.the speakers probably less than 12 volts .fax machine and photocopier ,not on all the time ,neither pull that many amps.modem low voltage, the computer power supplies don’t constantly pull all that power most is reserve power and you would need to have a lot of things running to pull that much.if your house is wired properly and your not blowing fuses ,your probably ok.

If you’re not blowing the breakers, then you’re fine. Just turn up the AC mate !
