So you never owned KJ Computers or KJC?
KJC wasn't as big as I'd made out it was. We worked from a small shop in Manchester, and things didn't go so well, due to my bereavement. My business skills suffered as a result of the grief. I lied to people to make them think we were doing better than the reality. Losing my first child hit me harder than I'd thought, and looking back, I can actually understand my actions. They were wrong in the eyes of others, but doing them made me feel like I was still somebody, instead of the bloke I was reduced to, crying all the time, having nightmares, worrying when the administrators were going to come and get me. The money problems I was having at the time made it all worse.
We were reduced to mobile repairs, working from my Sprinter van. I didn't feel like the big company boss, the system admin in control of my own destiny, where every action defines your future. I fell out with Richard, my best friend of 15 years, because I kept things from him.
Looking back, I realise it was my friends close to me that helped me through it. I took a big hard look at myself, and got Greg to point out bad bits. The arrogance, the retaliation, the feeling that people were having a go at me when they weren't, all that was left after what happened. It has all been sorted now, I've worked to get round the issues, and feel It's time to pick up the pieces and rebuild trust in the people I hurt and neglected. Including you guys here at SD. I know it's just a forum, but you are real people, and I said some horrid things that I shouldn't, and now I'm apologizing and offering to make up for it. It's the only chance I'll get, we only live once, and I don't like making enemies.
Naturally, I'm a very laid back, loving person. I'm affectionate, and will always try to help people in despair. I'm prepared for another life crisis now, so all that stuff won't happen again.
We're back in business. Greg and I are running from his house. KC is doing well, and I've got good plans for the future. I'm making up for lost time, and now plan for disasters. We've got a nice little customer base, and I'm happy. We're a small firm, but I'm the company director I always saw myself as, compassionate & loving towards customers, always going out of my way to serve them well. I've not got any stupid plans, just realistic.
You folks at SillyDog will see me for the guy I really am. You'll like me. That insecure idiot you were used to, he's gone now. For good. If you ever see me make a mistake, tell me, instead of biting my head off. To err is human, and to be human is to err. (err = Make mistakes).
