Wyndsong’s Sacred Place

So, Sunday I quit my job to start my own permit company.  I called my boss up Sunday night, and told him.  I was expecting some ranting and raving, but instead got a “wish I could tell ya good luck” and then a “well it’s been nice working with you.”  Not at all what I expected, and I breathed a sigh of relief.  So later that night, I emailed some of my customers to let them know that I was no longer working at my old company, and that I had started my own business.  Accidentally using my old companies email.  Yea I know, stupid stuipd stupid.  But oh well, so that happened, can’t take it back.

Anyway, the next morning I started calling a few of my customers, getting great responses.  No orders, but promises of soon.  I heard from a friend who still works at the company that my old boss was NOT happy.  But I knew that was going to happen.  But the day went along nicely.

Then I get a knock on my door.  My b/f goes to answer the door, and then comes back upstairs to tell me there’s a man at the door with an envelope for me.  Well of course my first thought was that it was a process server.  Then I got tot the door and saw that it was my boss!  Actually both of them!  They had driven all the way to Vegas from SoCal.

Needless to say I was shocked.  Shocked really isn’t a strong enough word.  They say they are there to bring me my last paycheck and to pick up their stuff.   Wow!  Ok, what do we do now???  So I did the absolutely worst thing, and let them into my house.  When all else fails, such as your brain, do the worst thing possible.  (note sarcasm).  They gather all of their stuff, put it in the truck and are still acting friendly and nice.  Then suddenly my old boss drops the bomb of we know you’re soliciting our customers, you signed a contract, and we’re going to sue you.  My sweetheart kicked them out of our house at this point.  I love him!

Then the next day, we got a “Cease & Desist” letter via fax, a process server tried to give us one in person, and then we got one via fed ex.  But we have a lawyer friend who is willing to represent us for trade.  Anyway, he says that my old boss can’t really stop me from contacting my old customers, or from doing business.  But it’s going to take some time to get the whole thing straightened out.

So this week has been very scary.  Worried about what I can or cannot do, worried about where the money is going to come from.  But I did still get some orders!  It’s just going to be a little harder, cuz we’re going to have to hunt down customers…. won’t be easy, but we’ll do it.  I’m just hoping we’ll be able to pay our bills until things get more straighted out.

So yesterday was Friday, and it felt like it was still tuesday.  My internal clock is all out of wack.  My blood pressure is up (well for me that’s probably on the high side of normal), and to top it all off…. I have pinkeye!!!  Sheesh, can you say BAD WEEK!

Well, at least we did get some orders and made a teensy bit of money during all this!  So it’ll be fine eventually!  LOL!
