Gone But Not Forgotten
Yes, I have a blue tractor and the wife is looking at a Kubota.......Kubota Dealer that is. One of her friends in a CPA firm called the other day and let her know about a tractor dealer looking for a bookkeeper.
That's all Phyl has ever done until 2 years ago. The firm she worked was going under, slowly but surely. Then they started doing things she was not comfortable with putting her name on. Let's just say, when the Feds and State catch up with what they're doing, they won't be open much longer.
She left there and decided to open a website selling childrens clothing. Things have slowed down a bit and she's been looking for a part time job to help fill in. Then this phone call came. The next day she was told to call the owner and see what happens. As soon as she told me what his name was, I knew the dealership. It's a small family place outside of town. The son has been running it since Dad and Mom passed. They are struggling in this economy, but who isn't?
Anyway, she called and he answered, "Hello, this is Timmy." I thought that says alot about him. They talked for an hour. She couldn't believe how far behind the times they are. All payroll and and inventory is done by hand. He couldn't really understand what all she has done in an office because he's a tractor mechanic
. They are closed next week to give their employees time with their families. But he wants her to come in for an interview on Monday. And if all goes well, she will start on Jan 3. Phyl is so excited. It's a few more hours a week than she wanted, but in time things will be caught up and she will probably spend less time per day there.
The previous bookkeeper had been there for 28 years. Also says a lot to me.
