I am having major problems with my business. To cut a long story short, due to rising prices, stupidity from the leather tannery (and complete lack of communication), and my work having stopped for the last 4 months, I have a major cash flow problem. Things will be tight for the next while, and shit can really hit the fan for me. Basically I owe the tannery people 25+ grand and my money still hasn't come to me, which I need to give to them. The tension is excessive.
I've been considering not visiting this place till things sort out. I don't want there to be fall out from my mood. Can't even play a game.
Sorry to hear that man. Just make sure you find something you can do to get away from it all for a while.
Things are hot and cold for me. Work blows and I need to get another job, but I kind of wanted to get that one last summer working outside in. My boss is a two faced bitch and getting really shady with our money, which is a bad sign for his cashflow and the potential of long term employment. The thing is that he isn't open about it at all, and he tells you what he thinks you want to hear and just strings you along. To tell the truth, I may not have a job come Monday. I rolled the dice a bit yesterday in order to apply some pressure and get some money owed to me. The gambit worked, but I have a feeling there will be long-term negative effects stemming from it.
See, I'm reasonable about shit and understand the guy's position with cashflow, but I have expenses that need to be taken care of ASAP or they're going to start snowballing. I was hit with an excessive speeding ticket last Saturday, caught on a highway exit going 103km when the limit was 50km. Now, that might sound a bit excessive, but it was a highway exit and everyone I've talked to has been shocked that they'd actually set up radar there because it's the norm. Anyways, guy was a prick about it, didn't cut me any breaks and hit me with the full force of an excessive speeding ticket here...which includes a
seven fucking day impoundment of your vehicle. Ticket+tow fee+a weeks worth of impoundment fees = fuck me.
And to top that off, I recently accrued a parking ticket for parking too close to an intersection. You know how you'd think it was 5 feet? Well, apparently, in the city of Vancouver, it's six fucking meters. That's huge. This wouldn't be an issue except that they're cracking down on people not paying their tickets and I had a summons for yesterday to appear and either fight or pay the ticket or else a bench warrant would be issued. So, I obviously needed to pay that in order to get my car out of impound. Not having the money was going to fuck me, because if I couldn't get it out on Sunday, I'd lose the government rate for impoundment and the rate would more than double until I actually got in there to get it...after all the payments cleared.
It was like the perfect storm of me getting financially fucked. Luckily, I got the money owed to me, but unfortunately, out of that $3,000 I have nothing after various shit is payed off. Oh, and a roommate left so we're stuck with that for however long.
On the upside, I'm done with classes, almost eligible to receive both of my degrees at once and in a pretty good position to launch a new career. Also, I've been seeing two pretty awesome chicks; one I could actually manage to spend a fair amount of time with without losing my mind. That's all you can really ask for, right?
