Hey,

Christ I'm not good.
Worse than I have ever been.

I remember how I felt when I sat under a tree in the woods and took an overdose with intent last March.
I feel worse now than I did then.

Thought about you, glad you're still here

Oh hello.
Pm me?

I don't have easy days.
I have 'easier' days like when I'm offered a job, but when anything good seems to happen it just turns into something bizarre.

Well done for your effort in such a shit world and I really hope things work out positively for you.

 

[NeverGoodEnuff]

Aw, BPG, I am so sorry it turned out like this. Why is it that the Nice Guys just keep getting shat on? It isn't fair!

You are such a valuable contributer. Here, take a piece of my heart and hold it close. No, not that piece, it's all scarred up. THIS piece, yeah, better.

Last year the job was managing the finance department, overseeing the transition to another accounting system for 2 businesses, changing the way parts of data processing works to make things more efficient, etc.

With everything that has happened, he has asked me to just do his accounts.
I looked through it today: 7 fucking binder folders rammed full of sales invoices, supplier invoices, shitty bits of paperwork that have nothing to do with anything, half done VAT returns and incomplete corporation tax info from 3 years ago.
No VAT returns have been done for the last year either.

What have his finance employees been doing?

BG if you can make it work financially just remember that true entrepreneurs often make GREAT comebacks!

If you get in early with this entrepreneur on the "dip", then be prepared to go places with him on the "rise". Your a bright person so you understand this, but I'll point it out anyway, it's the finance and marketing guys that typically get rewarded on the rise. And, given a choice I'd pick the finance side for better upside in the future.

Hope you have a great feel for the employer and hope you can figure a way to make it happen financially.

Rooting for you.

I ordered SN a week or two ago and had it delivered.
Vendor sends me another package that I only know about because of tracking. It gets delivered - more SN!

I make a plan to end my life at the weekend (although I did postpone late last week), then on Saturday morning I get a message through offering me a job which I first interviewed for in 2019.
"Life is saying not to do it", I thought.
"Oh, wait....I can't actually afford the travel because I've been out of work for so long", I though.
So I start getting anxious, and contact the job centre to ask if they can help. Turns out they'll pay for my car insurance, tax and fuel money - great!

I go and meet the guy today. Only just got back, actually.

The WhatsApp message he sent me alluded to some weird stuff that has been going on with one of the businesses over the past year, and we sit down and talk about everything.....and it's one of the most convoluted stories I've ever heard (see post #5 below)!

Anyway, one of his companies has gone into administration. I knew this already because of the WhatsApp message.
But it has a strong balance sheet and I assumed from subsequent messages that he was going to work through the administration and get it back running (there is actually nothing wrong with the business, it's all part of the convoluted story).
But no, he's letting it go.

He has also downsized (significantly) the other business he owns.

Long story short, it has gone from the job where I was being asked to oversee this and that last year, to just preparing the accounts as a one off.

I'm now going to go and sit in a coffee shop and think about what I'm going to do, but for Christ sake, this has turned out to be another kick in the teeth.
I'm not blaming him of course, but how things has turned out is just unbelievable.

Bless you sorry that happened, I saw your thread and thought I'd comment just saying thank you for the other day and how your the first person in a long while to ask if I'm OK

Hey guy, what do you feel you want to do?
One road is the end of it and another will take you to visit and experience unknown places yet.
Feelings are important.
You have authority over your life. You're in charge.
You decide.
And it doesn't have to be even a big decision. Just something simple:
A conclusion, by comparison, of what you feel.

I also believe that these comments should advise you, give you information, in order to help YOU reach a conclusion.

They haven't done squat. It benefits you though- it's such a mess to sort and fix, take your time doing it. Drag out the work for 3+ months. In that time frame you could get a decent job. Than you will have crazy stories to tell people about gun smuggling and broken helicopters the FAA , jail in another country... throw in some hookers and drugs you might have the next mini series to hit TV.
