Cancelling your Weight Watchers membership by email isn’t as simple as just sending an email, unfortunately. You still have to fill out an online form which you can find here. You will be asked to enter your account information like your name, email address, and address.  Weight Watchers says that the cancelling process via email will typically take 72 hours to go into effect. Look for a confirmation email detailing your cancellation. If you do not receive an confirmation email within one week of filling out the form, you may have to submit another request. You can call 800-651-6000 to cancel.  For the quickest results, don’t waste time by waiting for prompts.  To get a human as fast as possible, press “4” for existing members. Then press “5” followed by “2” to skip the survey and go directly to an actual customer service representative. Be prepared to wait. You may have to wait an average of a half hour before you get connected. Just like with an online cancellation, you will most likely encounter attempts from a customer service representative to prevent you from cancelling outright. Just calmly tell her you don’t wish to hear about any alternatives, and you would simply like to cancel your Weight Watchers membership.  Dealing with people on the phone can be frustrating. But it’s best to remember that in most cases this person is doing her job and probably following a script. Being rude will only make the process more difficult, so it’s best to calmly and firmly state what you want. You’ll also be asked for account and billing information so it’s best to have all of that on hand so you can complete the process as quickly as possible. Make sure that you receive a cancellation number before you hang up. If you cancelled by email, online, or even by phone but haven’t been sent any records of cancellation, you may want to call the customer service number to ensure that your Weight Watchers membership has indeed been cancelled. If you are calling because you have already cancelled your membership make sure to have your cancellation number on hand.

Summary: Go to the email cancellation form. Fill out the form. Call Weight Watchers customer service. Be polite but firm. Call to confirm a cancellation.


Relax your arms and legs so your limbs are limp and not tense. Try to relax the muscles around your eyes and face so you appear open and approachable to the other person. Avoid folding your arms over your chest or rolling your eyes. You want to appear open and engaged in the discussion, as opposed to cold or defensive. Before you try to address the issue again, test the waters by talking about a nice moment you shared together earlier that day or a few days ago, or by making a peace offering with flowers or a card. You want to be sure you and the other person are starting from an emotionally light zone before venturing into the possibly more sensitive discussion about the argument. Once you feel comfortable returning to the scene of the argument and working on a resolution, it's important to set boundaries for the discussion so it does not devolve into another argument or screaming match.  Talk with the other person about avoiding swear words or name calling. As well, discuss the importance of not cutting each other off or interrupting each other. Stress the importance of respecting each other's point of view and being mindful of each other's feelings.

Summary: Maintain open, non-aggressive body language. Warm up to the discussion. Set boundaries for the discussion.


You can get a stain out of white clothes by bleaching them. Use an Oxygen-based bleach and make a solution based on the instructions on the bottle. Be sure to use a large bowl and fill it with solution so that your garment will be able to soak in it.   Make sure that your garment can withstand bleach. Some delicate fabrics can be damaged by bleach. Only use bleach if your garment is white. If not, it could alter the color of the garment. Only use bleach if you have already tried out other methods of removing the stain. Bleach should be last resort because it can change the appearance of clothing. Place the garment into the bowl of solution so that it is completely submerged. At the minimum, soak the garment for a few hours. Do not leave the shirt in the bleach for over eight hours: this could damage the garment. Run cool water over the piece of clothing and try to get off the bleach solution. See if the stain is gone. If the stain is still there, repeat the process of soaking in bleach. Once the stain has come out, launder the garment as usual. You may want to wash the garment alone since there will be remnants of bleach that could affect other items being washed.

Summary: Make bleach solution. Let the garment soak. Rinse the garment. Launder the garment.


There are many areas of the law in which you could work as a legal secretary.  The major distinction is between civil and criminal law, but within civil law there are narrower areas of specialty, including corporate litigation, real estate, contracts, employment.  In thinking about which would be the best fit for you, consider your interests and the type of environment in which you would like to work.  If you like the idea of working for the government and for the public interest, you may like working for a District Attorney or Public Defender's Office. If you like meeting people from other countries, a small immigration firm might be a good fit. If you are interesting in earning a high salary and do not mind stress, consider working for a corporate law firm. Tailor your resume to the work done by the particular employer.  If, for example, you took a training course in filing documents in criminal court and you are applying for a job with a criminal defense firm or Public Defender's Office, include the course prominently on your resume. Highlight relevant work experience or, if you have none, draw attention to relevant skills, such as computer and interpersonal skills, and familiarity with legal procedure. Once you know the area of the law in which you would like to work, a temp agency can help place you in available jobs in that field. Though temp jobs are not ideal in terms of salary or benefits, they are a great way for you gain work experience and network with employers. Finding an entry-level job when you do not yet have experience can be challenging.  For this reason, it is important that you be strategic in choosing employers more likely to hire brand new legal secretaries.  Target solo practitioners and small firms.  Smaller firms, consisting of one or two attorneys, are more likely to accept you with less experience. Apply for government jobs.  Though government jobs pay less than large corporate firms, the provide an excellent opportunity for new legal secretaries to break into the job market.
Summary: Choose an area of specialty. Prepare a strong resume. Contact a temp agency. Be strategic in where you look for permanent jobs.
