sick of it
I have had about all i can take of people trying to take advantage of me from my customers down to my employees
I would give anything just to be able to pick up the phone and talk to my dad. I worked with him from the time i was around 7 years old untill he died two months ago. There are just some things you can only talk to certain people about. He was the only person I was really close to and could talk to about things. Its really been hard not having anyone that I can talk to.

Re: sick of it
It's tough buddy, no doubt, and time won't make it much better. But you can still talk to him, you just have to find that place in your heart where he is.
I know your pain, I talked to my mom every day when she was alive. even when I was rodeoing and traveling, I still found a way to call her. When she passed it took a long time to figure out I might not could verbally talk to her but I could still "carry on" a conversation with her.
Your dad sounds like a good man and I am sure he taught you well. I am also sure there aren't many problems you can encounter that he hasn't already gave you the answer to.
Hang in there.

Re: sick of it
I lost my dad/best friend in '01. I can fully understand, as mentioned above you can still give him an ear full. I had to learn to lean on those around me. It's not the same but it helps none the less. Hang in there, the wisdom he gave you will help you overcome these obstacles.

Re: sick of it
drinking doesn't solve anything. It may hide it, but it doesn't solve it. talk to people who want to give you support and build a friendship with that person. That person won't replace your dad, but it will give you a second in command and a person to talk to.

Re: sick of it
It has been 11 months since my dad passed,and yeah,it's tough. I talked with mine daily,we were in buisness together,and I still reach for my cell phone if I am driving down the road and see something that I think that he would get a kick out of. These guys are right, I'm not trying to be Carrie Nation or anything,but the feeling is still there after the drink is gone. Heck,I even tried to to "drug" myself by going on vacation, but a few days before I came home, I realized that the same thoughts and feelings would be there as soon as I got home. I also lost my YF Lab a few months ago,miss hert too. hang in ,Bro.,it begins to ease.

Re: sick of it
this is what just pisses me off to no end. I have a customer that I will never do any work again after the $#!+ they just pulled. Now keep in mind that they owe us around 10 grand from last october from work on the olive branch court house and police station. The 1st of april we did several thousand dollars worth of work for them at northwest. The day of my dads funeral they call and are in a panick about some area that was not in the contract that was torn up from where they had been storing materials. I took care of this 3 days after my dads funeral for them.
keep in mind that 60 days has past since his funeral and close to 90 days since we did the orginal work for them. They were supposed to have paid this friday but there this was no one there so sign the check on friday after i was promised last monday that i would have the check. They told me they would have the check 1st thing this morning now they are telling me that they are holding our check and not sure when it can be released.
to top that off I sent a low tire to gateway to have fixed that i looked at before it was loaded. They just called me saying they need to replace the tire because the tread is coming apart. I am sure that it has nothing to do with the fact that there was not another car in the parking lot when i dropped my moms car off to get the oil changed.
I would like to know where these folks get the idea that i fell off the turnip truck last night
