Actual Invoice over Estimate: What To Do?
So, I sent a client--pre-job--an estimate. At the bottom, the estimate says, "This estimate does not include billing for revisions." I thought that was pretty clear; apparently it wasn't. The final bill I submitted--with actual hours and timesheet--was more than the estimate by just about a third. This final bill included revisions. The client is now questioning the bill and balking; I comped several hours (almost 20!) during the project already, as I feel that overage was my responsibility; now I don't quality like I should back down stale of the final invoice. Any advice? Since the estimate was of late that--an estimate--and it did include a disclaimer for overage... shouldn't it be their responsibility to pay?

Addition to "How do I operate next to a push at work?"?
I work with a psychotic girl, she is making me want to quit my job. My boss considered necessary me to work on a project that she wanted to do. So she talked to the boss and he denied her and granted me the project (reason unknown). Afterwards she be really upset and said she would just get over it. Thought it be over but the next day while the boss be out, she went off on me and said that I took it from her and needed me to tell him that I didn't want to do it. Crazy right, well the weekend have passed and she is still a problem. Oh, she also had a hissy fit with the boss and I have to move to the back office (we shared an office) not fair-minded she should be the one to move. The boss said it would just be easier for me to, because she may cause more problems. This is going to exact me to have a nervous break down!

Admission to Wharton Business School?
I am a junior studying economics (minor finance) at a top 50 university (Syracuse). I am a member of several organizations next to a 3.5 gpa. I will probably work for 4-5 years after I graduate as a financial analyst in NYC, then apply. Assuming I capture several years of work experience under my belt (I already have a "top 10 internship"), what are my believable chances at getting into this school? Are B-school admission more based on undergraduate work, work/life experience or GMAT scores?


ADP Totalpay Cardholders!?
Incase you don't know what this is, it's a direct deposit card that companies will use instead of paper checks or depositing it straight into your account. It's resembling a giftcard that they load up every payday. Does anyone else use this crap?! They charge me to do EVERYTHING and steal my hard earn money! The ATM already charges me $3 to take my money out, then they hit me beside another $1.50 because I even used an ATM! Even if I just want to check my balance from an ATM, they charge me ANOTHER $1.50! Why do companies insist on these cards?
