I will be leaving you all shortly

[BacktoBasics]

As many of you know I hate the people around me, I hate the customers, I hate my job and I hate just about everything my day consists of. So basically it goes like this.

I snagged from the wife one of those vapor disk things you toss in a shower. Its like Vicks vapor in the shower. The hot water breaks up the disk to release the vapors. Anyway I thought it would be cool to possibly lay my peen on top of the vapor and well....any way bad idea it kinda burns.

At that very moment I had the epiphany I've been waiting for. I could either pursue my aspiration or something close to it (when I say aspiration I don't mean lubing up hot gals I mean self employment and really at any level) or relegate myself to living with regret by continuing to subject myself to the misery that is my job. At 32-33 I figure now is the right time to risk it all.

I took out a loan for 40k and purchased a 3/4 ton kidnapper cargo van and 20k in equipment. Renewed my certification in structural drying and water restoration/flood mitigation and dropped the rest on advertising in the phone book, radio and print.

I bought equipment to clean carpet, tile and grout and furniture. I also purchased enough equipment to handle 10,000 plus square feet of structural drying due to flooding. All this should work seamlessly with our existing janitorial business. Most of our customers sub this work out to others anyway.

I also tapped the surface of marble resurfacing and care along with wood floor refinishing. This will come a bit later but the foundation is set for me to do the work.

I'm tired of sitting at this desk or wandering this god forsaken lot with no purpose. I can no longer tolerate the annoying customer base or the even more irritating group of co-workers. I'm tired of fantasizing about a way out. I'm worthless and lazy 99% of the day and hacking away on the net is getting old...even the porn is uneventful. I live in a perpetual state of exhaustion and I can't stand the boredom any longer. If I fail it'll be on my own terms at my own hand. I refuse to feel trapped at this place any longer.

I'm probably going to stick around for another 2-3 months just to capitalize on the spring rush and then I'm out. I say that but none of friends or family members believe that I have it in my to stick around. We'll see. I won't disappear forever but my interneting days will essentially be done. I expect to be a first ballot entry but ultimately I'll leave that up to the media and my peers. I want to thank you all for everything you haven't done for me. I'll reward you with a solid final 2-3 months before my graceful exit while on top.

You guys are a real inspiration for not wanting to be a failure. Special shout out to Blake, Viva and Sommerset as I wake up everyday wanting to not become those guys. I'll miss you all.

[marini martini]

Damn, where were you two weeks ago when I had to get down on my hands & knees and, scrub the shit off my shitty ass tile floors???:bang

Good luck to you, you'll do good!!!:toast

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Wish you the best man. I really mean that. Nothing beats having your own business and being happy with what you do.

Don't really know what you have against me, but I'd rather deal with hemmoroids than find out why. :toast

You apparently also wake up everyday not wanting to be you.

I wake up everyday forgetting you exist until I log on to ST.

[BacktoBasics]

I'm wary of white janitors.Oh I don't do the janitorials. I leave that to our Hispanic workers and my Hispanic wife. I do the professional type stuff. People like white people to do the professional type stuff.

[timvp]

Seriously though, shouldn't your goal to get your business thriving to the point that you can sit back and peruse the internet while ordering around others? Then you can complain about how others are doing their job instead of complaining about your own job. 'Tis the American transition.

[Blake]

If you don't somehow say "fail" in this thread I may never be able to live with myself.

You apparently already have trouble living with yourself without my pointing out your posting failures.

[samikeyp]

Good luck dude. Hope everything works out for ya. As someone who had to go back into a work enviroment I cannot stand.....I totally get why you are doing this and your choice makes me want to further try to work on some things to get myself outta here.

DO NOT FORGET TO SET ASIDE 28% OF YOUR NET INCOME FOR SELF EMPLOYMENT TAXES. (income, not revenue)

Take some accounting courses to get familiar with how to track costs and income.

Small businesses fail for two reasons: lack of knowledge about the business and lack of business knowledge.

There are two skill sets required to run any busines successfully: knowledge of what you are doing, and knowledge of how to make money at it.

Most people get the first ok, but a LOT of people suck at the second.

I would recommend getting with some sort of small business association, or the small business administration for some help/guidance.

Good luck.

[Sportcamper]

I always enjoyed your stories...

Good luck man..and props for getting up and actually doing it.Most of us, with any kind of half ass ambition, just keep on accepting what we are given.

[angel_luv]

I think it is great that you are bravely venturing out and striving to acheive your own vision.
My prayers are with you and I know you will be a great success.
All the best to you.

And I will miss your threads.

We currently run a business. We have an accountant on hand and always keep tight books. Never had any issues with taxes or how we do things. We're not a start up just an expansion that will allow me to leave my current full time job.

Thanks for the advice though.

I have a safety net in my father if I need him. He owns a wealth management business and is always offering up advice wanted and unwanted but always accepted.

[ATRAIN]

Good luck man.

Its funny you posted this. I have been contemplating my life as well and I am needing a big change and not just in my workplace but in my career in general. I have been really thinking about going back to school and getting another degree and changing professions. I changed my major at least 6 times when I was in my early years. Im planning on starting back up in the summer so I have a month or so to figure out what I wanna do. I have been tossing around ideas and have even contemplated getting a History degree and maybe teaching. I have also thought about going with what my family wants and going for Border Patrol. Half of my relatives are in it and there is nothing like a little Mexican on Mexican hate lol. Shit I would prob get fired for excessive violence or get shot. Anways either way man I hope the best for you. Keep me updated.

[BacktoBasics]

Sure, thanks to B2B trying to talk junk about me in post #1 and you trying to talk junk about me in this post. :lol

Good luck to B2B waking up without thinking of me.

[SAGambler]

With your attitude toward your co-workers, and people in general, I'm betting you will have a ball with real consumers who expect 100%, especially when carpet cleaners are a dime a dozen.

Great! I wake up in the morning not wondering about it.

Oh im sorry am I not allowed to think certain posts are funny? I would have laughed if your name wasnt in that post. Shit I would have even laughed if I was named in that post. It would have been funny if someone not named b2b said it. Sorry he hurt your 4th grade feelings.

Awesome. That gives you much better odds. Were I a betting man, I would put good odds on your success.

I think this is a fair assumption to make. However I've never had an issue with any of our current customers. There's a big difference in with dealing with a customer that I can proactively make a difference for and an irate customer that is pissed about finance, service, parts or any number of things that I can't control.

I've done restoration and carpet cleaning, repair and installs for a good decade and its night and day with the stress involved with lot sales and how people treat you.

Most people walk on the lot already hating you. Already looking for a fight. Going in to a home for tile and grout care is different in the regard that the customer wants you there. You're invited.

I never had this kind of hate before doing lot sales and finance. It ruins you on the general public.

[Bigzax]

good luck and God Bless! :toast

[BacktoBasics]

On that same note its more my employer and my co-workers than it is the customers. As much as I hate people I literally can't make these people happy if my employer isn't willing to give me the tools to help people.

I got yelled out just this morning because my customer was told by our service department back last Feb. that their TV mount and hot water heater part would be in any day now. A year later and nothing. They called countless times looking for resolution and we did nothing for them. Who gets yelled at? The guy who sold them on buying the trailer of course.

That's the kind of shit I want to get away from.

When you hit the big time you can outsource your thread assignment threads to India like a real business person.

Best of luck in your endeavors B2B. Just don't go all Richer on us when you make it big and have time to start posting here again. I better not see some rant about how some bitch talking on a cell phone while driving dented your Lexus as you were turning into your gated community.

I would never live in a gated community. I wouldn't be able to tolerate the Homeowners Association.

Lady #1 : Ugh I have all these papers on my desk and don't know which job I should start on first.

Lady #2: Just blow on it and let it go all over the place. Then you will feel better.

Ladies 1 + 2: *blank stares towards Hustle.




This just happened and I thought it should go into the B2B memorial thread.

"And so I instructed my 4 yr old son, Squire Muldoon, to kindly motor down the passenger side window, so I could chunk out a jar of Grey Poupon, that I keep on hand for such occasions.

Good luck B2B. Your last post better be cellphone video of you telling everyone at work to fuck off, and maybe breaking some shit. Don't tell me you're going to give them a two weeks notice; surprise is always so much better.

you'll be back.

maybe not as much as the past, but why leave the wonder that is the internet?

we all have free time, and the internet is a great place to waste... i mean spend it.

Was I supposed to be bad off? I was miserable at my last job and I wanted out.

But to be more specific when the credit market dried up sales went down and I was making considerably less than I did the prior 5-6 years. I wasn't well to do by most standards.

I don't know what you consider well off.
