Its midnight & I'm gettin ready to turn in so I don't have much energy to say much. Worked for 11 hours at the office; organizing, boxing old papers scattered about from the past 6 years of their disorganized operation, consolidating the many hundreds and hundreds of unbilled invoices. I expect to find at least a couple hundred thousand dollars that could have been billed. If we recover half of it, it'll be a thrill. I just can't understand how the owner let it get so bad. How can you live with that? I would go bezerk. Why didn't he ask for help? Or hire someone? I try to congnizant of "rubbing it in," but its so hard not to react to the insanity of it all. What will all the customers all back as far as 1996 if we were to attempt to bill them now? I almost think it will reinforce the ineptitude of the company. Maybe he should should cut his losses, and get off on the right foot from now on. So far I've filled 19 bankers boxes with random misc papers scattered and stacked about the office from the past years. I expect there's about 5 more to go before its all up and out of the way. I also spent a day relieving the owner's desk of its heavy stacks of docs. The dusty, buggy papers on the bottom dated as far back as 1999. I feel a strange combination of pity, perverse excitement, and superiority. A surprising reaction that I dislike but find interesting. I see myself mirrored by him. I could imagine myself being in his place had I started a business right off the bat without having the benefit of working in an office before. I really empathize with what its like to be overwhelmed and burried.
