Business Negotiations for Dummies.. Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

Ever had one of those times you want to just SCREAM ??

Ive gone this week from triumphantly passing Math test..<89%!!!! and training...> to obtaining my business licence, getting all the checks and insurances in order...attending upteenth meetings etc...all to ending up whimpering piteously in jsome corner..becuse of the frustration of having to deal with THE most FRUSTRATING person whose centre Im about to takeover..!

and Damn her to blazes...she used to be a friend..using THAT friendship to abuse..by trying to stiff me in price and business dealings..!

Ive done everything by the book and all above board in a very professional manner...only to find out just how damn unprofessional and shady she wants to be in the takeover business negotiations between us!..

Im supposed to hand over a sum of money and not even expect a freaking reciept?!!!..keep the dealings all hush hush ..and with no paperwork...for a SALE OF BUSINESS CONTRACT??!!!!

hOW FRICKEN DAre SHE?!!!

Why?..tell me WHY do people do that?..ESp if they were friends ?...

Why the hell abuse that friendship..thinking theyve found another sucker to stiff?..

Im heartsick over that fact alone...forcing me into doing something Im not used to...

and that is ratting her ..on her unprofessional conduct..to the head office.

Goddammit all...why should I be forced to being a bitch?..why put me in that awkward position?..

I had parents and students tonight damn well PLEAD with me to take over the centre..Its why I havent walked away from this territory and open up in another..

I just dont deal with conniving and unprofessional people..period...but to have to deal with one that abuses a freindship from years back..taking me,as well as those parents and kids for suckers....

Gods that PISSES ME OFF...

Mad


<sheesh Im glad for the Rant forum and just venting..cheers..>

/runs around organising the team of volunteers, handing out warm blankets, massage oil and making sure that there's plenty of hot chocolate, straws and soothing poetry books handy.

okay Imi! .. let us know when you are ready to come down off ceiling and we'll catch you!

Because Imi, if you don't it will be your ass on the fire and not hers, due to that there is no paper trail.

Unfortunately there are alot of mean and unscrupulous people in this world who are only out for themselves.
I am sorry it turned out to be someone you trusted once.
Been there myself, so I hear you loud and clear.

*Nods with a trembly smile offering cup of hot chocolate to you..wrapping blankets around us all..*

Stardust..thankyou for those words of wisdom..Ironic how we give such a warning to our kids..yet tend to forget them ourselves getting hurt time and again..

sure...by the end of next week..shell be regretting she tried to get underhanded with me...

Right now tho...right now..it just damn hurts that people can be like that...

Im just sorry you know that feeling too..

and I dont care that we are adults supposedly old enough and "worldwise" enough to know better, ..it still hurts when a person you trust..be it a relative or a friend takes advantage of your trust, using it to their advantage..

*sighs heavily, snuggling deeper into blankets thanking Lyon for her consideration in providing them..*

Ramon and Raoul our fave cabana boys would have been kewl to have here about now..

Why not just put sugar in her gas tank? Or firebomb her home? Or maybe post embarrasing pics of her on the net? Always makes me feel better when somebody's trying to shaft me, plus it helps clear my head to help deal with the problem.

Ah Ashke I like the way you think.
However when wounds are fresh everybody needs an aw, poor baby. It truly sucks when finding out you were used like a wet dish rag. But these words have always gotten me by:

"Revenge is a dish best served cold."

May they now be a comfort to you Imi.

His "what" smilie????

*scrounges for a leet dictionary*

Ah there are some things Ill never understand, other things I refuse to understand..

Darls thanks for just listening and being around on a week and weekend I have no desire to live through again.. Grouphug

Ill be the never forgive or forget type, but dont think Ill ever get into revenge.

<did make me grin at the thought tho..considering the car she drives and what she looks like>


Nah, Ill let the laws of the Universe take their course with her.."what goes round comes round", keep emotionalism out of the business dealings, and look at the objective ahead.


Ye Gods, Ive faced and overcome far too many complicated and personal obstacles and twists of Fate this past year , to succumb now of all times to pathetic despair and just give up!! Ive cried and whimpered over this damn enough !!

I WILL be taking over that centre ANd operating within the month! All above board , with legal papers signed regardless of what she wants!

*throws off blankets , checks weapons, throws jacket on..*

Whateva happens this week, happens..

time to kick butt.....

BRING IT ON!

Yep, you have to protect yourself in this situation. It's a shame she's messing you about, but it's what you have to do.

leaves the spilled-chocolate-and-blanket mess to the minions to clean up and dashes after the striding (and fixated) ImiCondor.

wait! forgot most important thing!

breathlessly catches up to Imi and throws arms around her, kissing hard. Presses the Glock into one hand and a brown paper bag lunch into the other.

There! NOW are ready!

pats Imi on the ass and waves brightly as she trudges off down the street, grumbling because all her friends saw.

Good luck Imi,

The parents will im sure show appreciate tenfold when you take over and it will more than make this hardship you have had to endure worthwhile.

Having known you a little while I can hand on heart say its her loss to lose you as a friend.

Well apparently the dental work I had done has gone straight to my fingers and I have lost the ability to spell....
Do you suppose there is such a word as paty?

I like the way you think too, Stardust! Waiting for the dust to settle before you do anything makes it more difficult for anyone to pin the blame on you! *innocent grin* Ofcourse I would never do ANYTHING nasty to anyone coz i'm such a sweet, innocent angel Angel4

Imi, congratss!!!!

I really don't know what it is that makes some people think doing things under-the-table, especially big things, is better. Insurance rental vehicles, cheap car repairs, business contracts not vetted by lawyer, tax loop-holes -- they all come back to bite you. And the people who believe they just have to use them all, and then get bitten, start thinking that the world always bites.

I'm all for the good intentions and hand-shake -- before, during, and after -- but straight-forward and clearly written and legal and easy for the tax guys to understand is equally important. The good intentions and handshakes are what keep you going when the contract hits reality, or you can't agree on a clause in the contract.

Cheers!
