I can't wait for this week to end.

Just take it one day at a time my friend. That's all we can do. Maybe tomorrow will be better. At least maybe you'll get a hold of the guy that bounced the check and can ease two of your problems. As far as the business venture closing..I don't know what to say about that. Maybe you and your partner could look into some other options if you have to rent the building for another two and a half years. As far as bad luck..well..that's my middle name..lol..but I always try to look on the bright side and keep my chin up.

cheer up buddy. this bad luck would all gone away and you will have a better positiion later finally. i even ever suffered the bad luck for a long long time. perhaps 2 years or more. but i still belive i can come through all these bad times and sad times. i can handle it better finally. so i did. believe yourself also can do this. take it easy.

I think you just have to remember that so much worse could happen. At least you're healthy. Sure, you have to pay the rent for your office, but maybe someone else could use it (a friend or family?) and pay you the rent that you would be paying the company. I know that's not idea (don't know how legal it is either come to think of it) but it's something for you to consider. I don't know what to say about the check. Did the person who owes the money sign a contract/form to that effect? If so, you could take legal action so don't worry about that either. Keep trying to get hold of him, and if you can't get hold of him within a couple of days use your solicitor. It's horrible when everything seems to go wrong isn't it :( But it will all be okay soon. There are just these couple of problems at the moment, but they will sort themselves out sooner or later.

I had a week like that 3 weeks ago. Everthing went from bad to worst. My boss had court on monday 3 weeks ago and he was gone over that weekend and didn't come into the office (eventhough he said when he got back into town on that sunday he was going to come in to prepare for court) he called me right when I go in and I hadn't gone in his office yet to see if he had been here. He asked me did he get any messages. I told him no cause I was thinking he was thinking about that day, not over the weekend. Anyway, there was a document that i put on his chair that he needed for court that he didnt get, so I called him to tell him but he had already put his phone on silent. So he was really angry when he got back to the office. Then the next day my other boss was wanting a billing statement for a client but the program we use was having problems. I couldn't get what she wanted done and she complained to my real boss and he got extemely upset with me again. Then the next day my boss wanted me to confirm a appointment he made with a client, so I did. The client came to the office at 5:30 but my boss meant to tell me he wanted to change the appointment time to 6:30. He swore he told me but he didn't tell me to change the time he asked me to confirm. He got mad at me cause I forwarded the email he sent me with the instructions to just confirm the meeting and no where did it mention for me to change the appointment time to my other boss(who happens to be his wife). I was trying to clear my name as show that I only did what I was asked but he still was angry. It was one of the worst weeks I have ever had a work. The only advise I have is just try to stay calm and positive, although it is very hard to do that. Just explain to the person your company owes money too what happend. You cant help that someones check bounced.

I can't wait till this week is over too. Sounds like yours was very busy. Mine seems to be always busy and I seem to always be tired. I understand where you are coming from. It seems like when one bad thing happens more seems to follow. I believe in that saying "when it rains it pours". There was a time I thought I was just ill-faited because bad things kept happening. I just had faith it would get better. I am looking forward to the weekend so I can stay up later and maybe sleep in some. I can get some wonderful rest and spend time with my family. I can also get some chores done on the weekend too. I hope your weekend is a lot better then your week;-) Cheers!

I also have the same bad luck this week. My prospect client for closing a sale didn't push through last Monday and then When I got home I had a misunderstanding with my husband, we slept unreconciled. The expected sales on Tuesday was cancel. My presentation this morning has been a mess...my laptop was attacked by a virus. I have to do the presentation manually. I hated to see whats going to happen tomorrow & the following day. Life this week has been very exhausting. I also wish that this week will end. Thank you for opening this discussion at least I can somehow express by desperation for the week. happy posting!
