JOURNAL:
Chief Accountant at AAA Technologies DBA J Enterprises.
I think that is a great title... but the work involved is making me an old lady already....
Yesterday my hours were 12 noon to 11:30pm, and that was 1/3 of the beginnings of the accounting work needed to figure out where this company is financially.... and with the possibility of my step father's partner being an embezzling idiot (looking very likely) I might have a lawsuit on my hands shortly....
With the four years of accounting experience I have going for me, being the end all and be all of a company is a new role, one I am nervous to have.
I will be fine but FUCK! the status of the business is not looking good.
It is construction - if anyone cares - so the contracts that are SUPPOSED to be signed by the clients do not exist and the subcontractors are all flakes who get the job because they are the lowest bidders. In my experience, I would rather pay the extra $200-400 to someone who will SHOW UP and DO THE WORK PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME than wait around at a job site for a flake company (and be stood up) and then just have the fact I saved money be the saving grace.... not worth it to me. Basically, the partner who is supposed to "Mr. Bomb @$$ Sales Guy" is sucking big cock..... and I have to fix it.
Pure economics:
- my stepfather is family. And family always gets first priority for help/assistance if needed.
- he is letting me live at home rent-free. Enough reason again to help out since the office is in the house... but damn! I am worth more than I am being paid... but, again, rent-free.
- on the other hand, the amount of help I can provide is assuring..... and he cannot help himself that way (my ruling is help people who cannot help themselves cuz they appreciate it greatly... most of the time).
It is opprotunity cost. And to have on my resume "Chief Accountant" along with the experience of running a company... like I am the boss under the owner, that is an opprotunity that I must take advantage of.
Anyway, so if I am not updating very much it is because this project is taking so much time... and I have to buckle down even more....
The saddest part is, after the close to 12 hour day yesterday, all I wanted to do was smoke a nice bowl and go to bed. No bowl, no good sleep. My back is killing me today. But the bills will be paid and my life is slowly getting to be semi-normal and less chaotic.
As for my love life, had dinner with printgod on Wednesday night and we definately enjoyed our evening... in all forms. Sweet guy, I did tell him to get laid this weekend at the LOVE PARADE in San Fransisco (he is working for MYSPACE I think.... and other shit...) and I was serious. I do better dating when I know they have other options besides me around so, when they enjoy my company, it lets me know that they are CHOOSING to spend the time because they want to, not because there is no other option around.
As convoluted at that is, it makes sense... I should make that one of the LESSONS that I used to "teach" when I first started this journal in the beginning of the year....
take care, will try to update later on this weekend with more "interesting" events... like the juicy orgies you all love to read about!

Did I ever mention that Captain Jack Sparrow is my hero? My ultimate hero... I love him. I want to be just like him if I decide to grow up...
