My hubbie is a work alcoholic and all he thinks about is work and money. After having the opportunity to have help running it he had decided before talking it over with me that he s not taking on a new manager. I sat and stated all the reasons why , pros and cons and he still said no. Well im afraid that i wont be helping him anymore then. Not only do i do my own job, be a mum, cook tea and a house i have to do his work as well. His office is in such a state that you could easily grow stuff in it and its a health hazard. He doesn t remember what he says half of the time and forgets and like i said yesterday because i do too much we are makinh mistakes thats costing the company money. Not forgettong that he now looks after the finances because i was sick of the worry about it and it was getting me down. From the looks of things, one year down the road, its no better. I sahll of course keep this documented, should the comapny go under thn i have no reaponsibility with the money, as a director I have suggested logical poionts and ideas that will be better for the company long term and my ideas are not being taken on board. I do my role, i do the tendering and buying now, my role has evolved and i m learning so much from. The business as a whole is absolutely trash from an admin point of view. We may be laying good turf and satifying customers but the office is so small and its covered in dust, keeping things for seven years is a dust mite paradise. I feel that Howard is so over streteched he s letting down customers, he s not meeting deadlines and us girls in the office do not know whether we are coming or going. It s embarrassing when people phone up and we dont know the answer when we easily can if we knew what was in Hubbies head. Its basically a businesses nightmare and we certainly will not get any bigger with the way he runs it. As far as our personall life goes im not happy that all he thinks of is work but i ve said to him thats its his choice that he s not accepting help and that he s to make more of an effort with us as a family at the wweknds and not be a zombie. Appreciate the small things and calm down basically. I must be grateful that h does want to work and he says we ve got to work to keep this all going, well maybe but at what costfor example, it amy not be the most perfect relationship but if his health should go down then we will be in trouble with a big crash bang wallop as evrything relies on him and as he is so stressed all the time its not going to take long for something to happen. I said to him that the things im saying is that i m trying to help him, but like me he wants to be superman, i ve realsied you cant be superhuman, i just hope i can talk him round, maybe just a little bit, that he cant be superman too befroe its too late.
One of our worker has taken the day off for his sons birthday, im annoyed at that as howard has never done that for mine or harveys.
