Prepping for Hostile Takeover

Sunday, December 18th, 2005 | Uncategorized

So I did some research today. Turns out that my boss is in jail for 3 counts of crazy. He goes to court on the matters on Thursday. Now, if he doesn’t win all of them he might be stuck in jail for awhile.

If this is the case I have decided, if possible… to take over his company. However I do not want it. Let me explain. I want the location, and the phone number for the business, 3 workstations and that’s about it. I DO NOT want the name, nor do I want any of the bills or problems that go with the Name. So I do not want to buy his company, rather I want to replace it.

If he ends up stuck in jail then he will probably be willing to sell me the items I want cheap, since the alternative is that his lease dies off and they throw everything away anyways. Not to mention if he is not there and I am not there, then all the customers would leave. It would be very bad to leave it sitting there unmanaged.

It’s not that I am a complete ass for wanting to tear apart the company I work for and create my own out of the remains. Rather a business decision. I can run a computer company far better than he can, and could add more services, get more contracts etc… If I owned the company myself I would be in a better place. If I just kind of inherited the existing company and name I would also inherit it’s problems.

It is also possible that he will just have to pay a fine and will be out and back to work after Thursday. To which he will owe me for time and jobs I did while he was gone.

I closed up the store Monday afternoon so that my bill wouldn’t keep increasing on him. Left a note on the door that people could call me if they had computers sitting inside etc..

If he is out and back running the store, It still probably won’t be for long. The “impending world apocalypse” will eventually make him flee for safety, at which point he told me I could just keep running the store. However I am starting to feel that it would be better to buy it from him before this happens because I do not want to inherit his bills and debts etc…

I am going to his trial on Thursday. Hopefully I will see what is going to happen and get a chance to talk to him. The sheriff’s station told me that I could not meet with him unless he requested it and put me on his list. So if at least he sees me on Thursday then he would probably think to put me on the list. If he’s not stuck in jail he won’t be desperate, and it will take me more time to get the store, but either way I think this is what I want to do now.

Like almost all business, this one will soon come to an end. The owner should just “lube up, and prepair for extreme penetration”. The days of (insert name of company here) is over.

Dear lord! That’s messed up! :S

So you think he will sell the store to you? Suppose you could try, and it wouldn’t be a bad deal, since most people now that you are extremely awesome (i assume at least). A nice little investment to be had. :D

…in fact, it sounds a little too easy. One, would someone have a higher stake into the store. And two, it almost seems like you planned it…don’t get me wrong! It just that you make it sound so natural.

bah. whatever. don’t mind me. just some shmuck. *thumbs up*

Didn’t know you spoke Yiddish. Of course knowing ways to insult people (even yourself) probably comes natural to one who is so opiniated. You always think everything is not how it should be, and you always feel the need to say so.

*shrugs* not my intention, though it’s to be expected when I talk like an ass. :(

Either, i hope the business venture pulls through. ;)
