Instead of making
assumptions ask questions. It’s less time consuming and you won’t
burn as many bridges. I have not gone into credit card debt for my
father’s business. What I said was that there were times that I used my
money (yes some on credit cards) to pay the guys upon which I was reimbursed
shortly there after. My father started his business as a handy man and to this
day does picks up a “pick axe” or what ever is necessary on a daily
basis and does work along side our workers. There are plenty of construction
companies out there, if we treat them poorly, than they would leave. My father
has delayed paying them but that simply means they get paid two week later rather
than the 1 week they were used to.
Your email of
”About two months ago, I found out that my father was not paying
our workers regularly, nor had he increased their wages more than a few dollars
over the past few years. I also got sick of seeing the employees not
appreciated for the fact that they ARE the company. My dad seems to have the
attitude that when he pays them, he is doing them a favor. Which sickens me.
Even before the talks of me taking over, I have taken my own money (sometimes
never to be paid back) to pay the workers when I could afford to, even going
into credit card debt if need be to do so.”
Now, may I take the
liberty of suggesting you go and place in another color all changes which you
or the nextraterrestrial who wrote those 112 words above deem appropriate
feeling at liberty to also apologize for suggesting that I had once again gone
“overboard”?
Second, now more than
ever consider sharing these communications with not only every one of your employees
and family members but everyone on your email list which I think for having
wasted my precious time while of course expanding our viewership you should now
simply hand over to me to do with as I “see fit”?
Third, Don’t
forget to have your one family member explain to you his reasons other than
taking out a “usual and customary” insurance policy would he have
told you that his business got kicked started courtesy of a Lilly White Wheaty
Eating South African arriving at his door with $2 million in hard cash and
then give thought to the ill-s done not only to us independent thinking
Americans but the entire world’s independent thinkers when so easily
distracted Bill “That Woman!”
Clinton at the 11th hour and 59th minute of his
presidency granted Marc “Trading with the enemy”
Rich a Presidential pardon and then factor into to balance out the equation
what has you so fortunate to even have a fricken credit card when it is mostly
the “real-ly” [sic] dirt poor in the 3rd world
subsidizing our fictitious economy the result of us Americans having got so
incredibly hooked on feeling “entitled”, so easy to be
self-righteous and o so charitable once you have got a “head start”
over the competition, agree?
Fourth, now give more
thought to assisting me with my planned communique to the top brass of Cornell
University anxiously awaiting my take on their efforts to save less than a
1,000 Americans who die per day from a heart disorder not only possibly
aggravated by them having more than one dietary disorder but having aged
“sumwhat” [sic] more than the 1,500 odd South African “kaffirs” dying each
day as a result of the most “brilliantly” orchestrated genocide,
ok?
Fifth, consider joining
me right this minute, get hold of your father, first though get him a chauffeurs hat and have him drive you and all your
employees down to the Cliff House and as soon as you all arrive, hopefully the
highly ranked cardiologist Dr. Paul Tierstein as well as his “arch
rival” South African Dr. Kevin Rappaport will have already arrived
enjoying the very best of champagne,
we will first start out with 4200 pushups followed by 3600 sit-ups
always remembering to breath in through the nose to the count of 5 and out also
through the nose which I must inform you does interfere with the circular
breathing necessary to impress the “rich chicks” when
playing the didgeridoo, followed by a 25 mile bike ride up and down the beach,
Pypeetoe as well as Maggie who just got her hair cut leading the way, ending with a 5 mile leisurely
“oshon” [sic] swim, conditions currently
picture perfect, a most beautiful and sexy woman dressed in rather skimpy
workout gear walking ever so slowly right in front, now smiling at Pypeetoe who
has stopped growling.
Again lets face it
there is only one that I am aware of extraordinary French Canadian athlete of athletes, 1/32nd Huron Indian,
math wizard-artist
painter-designer-Client-Partner-Wife Marie Dion [Gevisser] who refuses to stand not even half naked,
my feeling just a sandwich board perfect on the corner of 15th
Street and Highway 101 next Monday just 6 days from now directing both
foottraffic as well as the thousands of cars that passby to the next
broadcasted session of the Del Mar City Counsel, what do you think?
Perhaps if you continue
to do good by your workers, i.e. stop immediately trying to fix the systems and
mess with their corruption they might be willing to help out with our “social cause” for
nothing more than being fed the greatest meal-s of their lives, given an
education on the workings of both the real and metaphysical world that would
then have them so invigorated to “gift” me an override on their
business by employing all those responsible for you “sick”?
Time to fly.

Additionally, is it all
too difficult to conceive that perhaps my personality (one with attention to
detail) would be well suited to repair a business that lacking organization. I
believe it was you whom stated that the best business lessons were learned
around the dinning room table. I grew up with every adult figure in my life
owning their own business; from furniture stores, to construction, to plastic
bags. The fact that I have not run a business before doesn’t mean that I
don’t understand the concept of collecting more money than we are
spending. I have simply taken the time that that my father never did and using
the tools that I have, to research and select vendors so as to reduce overhead
and allowing us to figure out what we need to charge to turn a profit. I have
used my computer background to change paper invoicing to a database, to create
a spreadsheet incorporating the operation costs based upon the type of work so
as to calculate potential profit and to set our pricing. I am simply restructuring
an existing thriving business so as to be more profitable (we will gross nearly
$110k this month). Since my original email discussing where my time was being
spent, we have adjusted our prices and are scheduling work weeks in advance
based upon those adjustments.
You are a thorough person
which is why I am offended that you would make assumptions without simply
asking. If you care enough to write me your assumptions than the least you
could do would give me the courtesy to tell you the whole picture before you
lecture me.
I have had discussions
with our workers regarding the restructuring, I have offered them incentives
for doing a good job, I have increased their wages as I have increased ours.
They in turn have increased their productivity (finishing jobs quicker), and
communicate when they need help or advice as opposed to simply guessing and
hoping their decision was the right one.
You can soap box all you
want and I value much of what you say, but it is a discredit to you (in my
eyes) when you tell me what is going on in my life and I know it to be
different.
The $100 odd that
register.com charged me for your new sites is not a huge concern, I just wanted
to make sure that my credit card which I used to set up the account for you
wasn’t going to be charged any further.
I am very busy and have
not said I would not help you with your ftp program, but understand I have
tried on numerous occasions and it is not just my schedule that has to be taken
into consideration, but yours as well. You travel very frequently and the
timing issues have not been entirely on my end.
In the future, please
give me the courtesy to listen to what I am doing as opposed to telling me. One
of the first things that you told me was that time is my most valuable asset.
Well, I have to assess my responsibilities including my family and friends, and
cater my schedule accordingly. I value your friendship; please don’t put
me in the situation of having to assess it.

Adam - Thanks at least for
putting a good number of folks scrapping the bottom of the barrel looking for
any excuse in the world including that I owe you money in an effort to help
distract them from the inevitable?
It all comes down to the 9
lettered word “insurance”…---…
