Pissed

So anyone that knows me gets the fact that my life basically revolves around my wife, my dog, and my work. I'm basically a workaholic... But I love the work so im sure that's a big reason why.

I manage this little nothing computer service business that I'm trying to turn into something. I've been at it for 4 years now and we're closer than ever to really taking off. What sucks is it seems like the universe gets off on throwing a wrench in the plan at every opportunity.

We moved to a new location and completely changed our look from the old place. One of the huge perks of the new location was the use of a message board. (This is one of the busiest streets in town.) For a company such as ours, that type of advertisement is HUGE. We can't afford TV or huge billboards... We need every advantage we can get!

Our deal with the landlord was simple. He wanted it to say "For Lease" until he got someone in the space next to us. The letters have been stored in our building. So... He got a renter... So we started using the sign... And now he's promised the renter they can either have the message board or take it out completely and put up their own sign. This is after we've started using it and spent our own money on new letters for it!

People suck.
