Ok, I have been managing the mobile home park I live in for the last 3 weeks.
I worked a deal out with the owner that for the 1st month (or until I found another job because my other employer closed his business
) I wouldn't have to pay rent and then after that I would only pay half of the rent... Sounded like a good deal, right?
WRONG! SOOOO WRONG!
I have been working like 70 hours every week!
No joke! I'm tired, my house is a mess, my kids are just screaming for my attention, the critters need a bath, we've been living off fast food, I barely get to take a shower and when I do it's like a 10 min shower and someone is either calling or knocking, and to be honest there has been a couple nights I was too tired to help the kids with thier homework
I calculated up the hours I worked compared to the rent I would have paid and I'm making like $2.50 an hour!
I'm a total mess!!!
So last week one of the jobs I sumbited my resume to called me. I went for the interview on Thursday and they called me yesterday and said I got the job!
So I told the owner last night that I have a job offer making quite a bit an hour and he was ok with it. He said he would still want me to handle collecting rent.
Then all of a sudden after he left last night, the office hours went missing off my door
They stated what days I was closed too.
So when I asked the owner what happened to them, he said he took them off and we can't have ANY days closed..... at all!
I was livid but kept my mouth shut..
Well, today I was painting a unit (not something I'm used to doing) and I told him that Monday I would be getting things together for me to start my new job.
His reply was "well, you still have one more week free so I want you to get #2 and #5 ready before you start your new job"
I about screamed!
These two are a total mess! Meaning they need floors, and cabinets replaced. Things I can't do physically.
I have 2 choices here:
1. Bite the bullet and do as much as I possibly can on these 2 units. Meaning my house and everything else will be a total MESS when I go to work Tuesday.
Or.
2. Tell him I can't do it and pay him the rent this coming Friday. (we pay by the week)
Only problem with #2 is that the owner is less than honest. I'm afraid he will tell me I have to pay rent NOW (which I don't have) or say that I owe him for the last 3 weeks and he'll kick me out and I don't have ANY money to move
I don't know what to do! I'm so stressed out and confused that I have been in tears all day long!
