Hi everyone, Wow, some really interesting stuff over on my last thread over the last couple days!!
Today I found out that things at the company where I've been trying to really get things going are worse than I thought. Seems that the guy in charge of the money hasn't been up front about where all the funds have been going. He has been in France for the last 2 weeks and on Friday the internet died. Thing is that means EVERYTHING dies as we are on internet phone lines so we couldn't even call our clients or leads. Found this out just as I was about to make enough to get me through a couple more months but now, I'm dead in the water! As of today I'm waiting to hear back from the president (I'm Sr. VP) about if the internet is back or not. Nothing yet but he is going to call me tomorrow morning and let me know if things have been worked out.
So, today I applied for a couple new "jobs", back to working for someone else I guess. Too bad, a little more time and I really think things would have worked. I spent time polishing up my resume (I have been, just hadn't sent it out yet) and sending to a couple places in my field. Hopefully things will move along swiftly as I had really counted on this last couple sales and am broke and late on my car payments. I also missed a call from my lawyer and I'm not sure what that is about but probably not good (it seldom is). No one to blame but myself for not being more proactive and leaving this place sooner. Of course, it wouldn't be a problem if my W was still here like I was for her when she was trying to try a new job but, again, that isn't her fault, it's mine for not realizing that without her income, I wouldn't be able to make this start up work and walking away. I just didn't want the last year to go to waste as I worked so hard on getting the business up and running. And yes, Wonka, you warned me! I did network some after you suggested it but didn't find anyone who is looking to hire at the moment.
I may have to ask my parents for more money which is really hard for me at my age! I had to go to them to pay for my lawyer as my W left me with NO money when she filed. She, of course said I didn't "need" a lawyer as her lawyer could do "everything" and would be fair to me even though he works for her. When I told my dad this he offered to pay and I didn't need to ask but still my parents don't have much money and I hate to ask!
Still trying to digest everything that was posted over the last few days as I didn't have time today due to all that is going on. Thanks for listening everyone and I hope all is well with everyone!
