After nine months of working with no pay...becoming more and more stressed out as time moved on...I quit what I was doing.

I had volunteered to help someone get his business set up...I ran the office, did the books...even detailed cars when we didn't have a detailer. I've worked very hard over the past months...and I suffer from chronic fatigue...and also a back problem that I'm waiting to have surgery for.

This man hired another man, not a journeyman to work in the back in the auto body..and along with him came his wife. I didn't get along with either one of them. Last week, even being polite was not an option...I'd just had my fill of them. I am so tired of the snide comments, the demands from these two...and they are paid employee's..while I am not. The wife of this duo was the one who changed the security settings and shut off the firewall on my work computer...I had to send that computer to the shop as it was beyond fixing on my part. And yet, she persists on sneaking in to attempt to use it. I need that computer to be in good working order as I have E-pays on there from different places for my receivables...and if the settings are changed..then I can't use this program or the computer period!

There was a 'break in' last weekend...and the front door was found to be unlocked and open, one needs a key to open and lock the door....the one side door was open..and can only be accessed to open from the inside. The alarm was shut off. The man I do not get along with, he is attempting to 'finger' a deaf man who worked there...a man who didn't have the code to the alarm system, or a key. She is accusing a man who worked a half day and walked out in disgust. It's pretty obvious that there were only two who could have done this crime..and I'm sure hoping that the man who 'owns' the business was not involved...yet my suspicions are there...the amount of money he claims is missing is not true...I do the books..and he's not thinking about this. And..I will not lie if and when the police question me.

I tried to resolve this with the owner...and I do wish him well...but when he can't understand the importance of taking care of business..then there is nothing for me to do. If he can't control what is going on within the walls of the business among his employee's, then it's time for me to pack up and leave...

I have to go in for the last time tomorrow as I have just the tail end of one month left to get done in the books..and that month is July...it has taken us over 50 hours to try and make the books balance. As for the rest of the time left to get entered..he will need to hire someone and pay them...as I am finished. The only reason I'm going in tomorrow is to collect my personal file and some odd's and end's that are mine...

I hadn't realized just how fatigued I was until I began to relax...I even managed to say that dreaded word he never expected to hear from me yesterday...the 'no' word.

It is so sad..this man, the only reason I agreed to help him was because he is a Christian and I really wanted to see him succeed. He is drawing away from God these days...he is listening to another man who is taking him down the path that Satan walks...he's becoming less and less of a Christian as time moves on. His language is changing..where he never used to swear and cuss, this is becoming the norm of his language pattern..and he's becoming devious in business. It is so sad to see this come about...and I just don't want to be taken in and end up on that same path. I guess this is the main reason as to why I do not get along with those two employee's..they are both devious and sneaky...and very rude.

I just thank God that the Holy Spirit has been not just nudging me with this over the past month...the Holy Spirit has been pushing me!! And I'm listening. Another instance where I can say...'there but for the Grace of God..go I'

Sorry to ramble so much...
