It's quite a process but I am getting there. Four large dustbin bags full of shredded paper and a fifth under way and space in the office where there was none before. Small steps and achievements. It was a little sad to see the old company stuff go but go it had to, it was 15 years old and you no longer need to keep those records and other records, over seven years, have also been shredded. I thought it would bring back memories but not so much.
What was funny was to find my 1976 diary where I did band practice in Hammersmith with Dave catching the 88 bus and getting home really late. We had interesting times and he said that he thought I played guitar well. Also in there was a note about Dora. Now Dora was a young Turkish lady who worked for another company but was on block release at the same College I was at and we got chatting and used to hang around together at lunchtime etc. All I recall about it was that I suggested meeting up but it appears that I got her phone number now this is highly unusual for me as I was the absolute worst at asking such things of young ladies. It must have been some achievement as it made it into the diary but as all things when you are young, we lived a long way away and I got transferred to another college a lot nearer me and so it wasn't to be. She was really nice too and a woman in a man's world of Electrical Engineering. The diray also mentions the Moorgate Tube Disaster which a few of the lads from my year were on, mercifully they were not badly hurt
So my diaries have survived now I suppose I need to decide what to do with them. They tell an interesting tale for me of what I was up to. There is also a bit about my friend (who I have recently reconnected with) Penny who was at the Royal London training to be a Nurse. She is now in New Zealand. I have no idea if she knew how much I really felt about her but as I was often in and around her area, we used to hang out together, platonic friendships I guess, I don't know, may not be all that platonic :-)
Another full on attack on the paper and filing today and hopefully Ill get somewhere near organised.
The other thing that flew through my mind was this bloke who's being an arsehole is that whilst there's been a lot of what he is going to do and legal action etc., the bottom line is that he really hasn't been involved in the company in well over a year and indeed he never was. His actions, and his alone, are the cause of all his nonsense and if he did take it to some sort of legal action, there would be some eyebrows raised as I offered arbitration and it was flat out refused and in the same breath there is the classic denial that he ever was part of the business. Surprised he wasn't dissuaded from using that as what is it all about if he wasn't? Yes - there's sufficient amounts of contradiction in place that it will be looked on as vexatious and the use of ad hominem attacks will be looked at poorly.
So that in a way assists me in my thinking about whether to continue with the business or not as I am reviewing that now. It is difficult as the App is now on its second version and looks great and so what do I do, take the easy way out and shut it all down or do I run with it in the short term and see where it goes? The battle in my head continues but at least there is space for me to operate in the office now!
