So three months ago one of my good friends tells me that he wants to go into business together. He's a damned good salesman and PR guy and says we should start up a brick and mortar firm in our city... I think about it for a few months and he finally talks me into it by offering up $50,000 start-up money of his own.
So needing about $10,000 more myself (after what I was going to borrow), I up and sell PRunderground for $9k, probably a lot less than I should have. And all the while my business partner goes on vacation to Portland to meet his girlfriend, who he met on match.com (which one of you assholes is responsible for this?)... just a week before we are supposed to go to the bank and make an offer on a nice office.
And then tonight I get a nice little phone call from him... he's really sorry, but he has to back out of the deal and to top it off he's not even coming back... why?
He knocked up his stupid fucking girlfriend!
Anyway, that kills any chance of starting up a firm (unless one of you rich bastards wants to toss $50k my way) and I'm back to square one. However, I can say thank god for back-up plans...
So moral of the story? Don't fucking rely on anyone but yourself, ever. Seriously. That and wear a fucking condom.
