Day 147 - BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!!!
May. 27th, 2011 11:40 pmand a few more ha ha has!
So! Five years ago, back when I had money and hardly any debt, I approached my boss to ask about acquiring a few of her clients. I only wanted ten and my boss' response was HELL NO! IT'S ALL OR NOTHING BABY!
So fine. I said gimme some info and I'll think about it.
Late last year, when I had no money and lots of debt, she finally coughed up financial statements. Upon perusing them, it was my turn to be all HELL NO!, which I neatly documented in twelve pages that I'm still ever so proud of!
This brings us to TODAY! Today, my boss says to me... I hate living here! I wanna retire LIKE RIGHT NOW! You wanna buy a few clients?????
Amazingly enough, I did not fall off my chair laughing. I just said.... Nope. No money remember? At which my boss was all... well I'd take small payments over time! I again said no.
So now, because she's desperate to move, it sounds like she's going to leave her other clients high and dry, not even bothering to finish out their year. Nice. Real nice.
The really hilarious thing about this whole thing is she COULD have had 30,000 over five years interest free. Instead she wanted 50,000 over three years at twelve percent interest. And now she'll get nothing and one of the big clients that she's taking with her is planning to revamp their structure in the next year or so, which will reduce the amount of work they'll generate. Though I will not be surprised if she keeps charging the same amount anyway.
It'll be interesting to see what she does with the other clients. I mean, she SHOULD be giving them notice so that they have time to find another bookkeeper, especially since she's not going to finish off their year end data work. But knowing her, she'll send them a letter a week before she's planning to move.
