So I'm much more awake and can give a full report on my current situation and the situation of the store.

On Saturday morning at or about 6 am our store was broken into. A 12"x10" window was smashed in, and all of our video games were taken from the shelves. Fortunately the cops showed up quickly and the only thing that was actually removed from the premises was a PSP. Because of that we put ply wood up over the broken window and removed all of the games from their cases.

Tuesday morning at or about 5:15 we were broken into again. They applied a pry bar to the ply wood. Finding the door between the back room and the front screwed shut, the intruders proceeded to kick a 12 x 10 hole in a sheet of dry wall dividing the two rooms. This time they got away with a case to Super Mario Sunshine.

We replaced the plywood and added barbed wire to strategic locations inside the store.

The last day at our current location is September 19. We shall re-open in our new location on October 3.

In better news I am employed. I am doing office work for a security system dealer. The name of the dealership, the name of the security system, the name of the parent company, and the names of the people I work with shall not be disclosed here. This is because Google is a powerful tool, I enjoy getting pay checks, and I'm going to bitch moan and whine.

Boss: "We haven't filed corporate taxes since 2005. I want you to get our numbers together for our external accountant."

Me: "Okay, I've done stuff like that before. Where are your receipts?"

B: "Oh, I never hang on to stuff like that."

Me: "Check stubs/carbons?"

B: "Nope"

M: "So what do you have?"

B: "Here's the code to get into our online banking page. Everything should be there."

Sufficed to say everything was not there. And what was there was disturbing. Regular 3k withdrawals from tellers. $100 + debit card transactions at Hooters and Deja Vu. Checks ranging from 1.45 to 2000.00 with only a check number and a date. Stacks and stacks of missing check numbers. Fun fun fun.

He also had me send out 50+ letters to people who canceled their accounts. These letters basically say, "We think you owe us money. Pay this money in full within the next 30 days or be sued." The letters do not say how much the debt is, or when it was incurred.

As an added bonus the boss is homophobic. He brought up this story in the office and said, "No one is going to want to wrestle or shower with these two ever again."

life, rant
