Received assumed name docs from ACCOUNTANT Cannon with intstructions for completing the form and how/where to file. ACCOUNTANT suggested that the necessary file be filled out and notarized and filed in person at Pasadena Courthouse Annex; 101 S. Richey eSt.; Pasadena 77506; ACCOUNTANT Cannon noted that after filing: “Once it is complete, we can apply for a new EIN. Then a new bank account can be opened and we can close the corporation as of July 31, 2023”; **DAD SAYS WE ARE NOT SHUTTING DOWN CORPORATION UNTIL ESTABLISHED IN HOUSE 100%** and I then communicated this to ACCOUNTANT.

Phone meeting with ACCOUNTANT Cannon at 10:30am - discuss statements, new Harris Tire DBA/Assumed Name procedure/also discuss first steps in possibly migrating all existing physical files/filing cabinets to home office and starting complete new on-site files for DAD to work with a shop. Noted to ACCOUNTANT and myself that in cases where DAD might need to have data from any legacy physical files moved to the house, he can call and I can find and convey the info (specific prices, etc.).

spent hour speaking with Greg at Westwood WM about DAD’s recent re investments and found out many points that should be discussed with Dan/DAD. Namely the single $xxxK investment in a single CD which is only FDIC insurance covered up to $xxxK there by leaving an obvious $xxxK loss potential should the single, lesser known bank that the CD is attached to fails. Better scenario is 3 CD’s at $xxxK each spread across three different banks so that DAD’s full $xxxK investment is 100% covered by FDIC’s maximum allowed coverage of $xxxK per CD. Also discovered that the Virg Col bond that $xxxK was invested in is categorized by all three major rating entities (S&P/Moody’s/Fitch) as a “Junk bond” which is considered “speculative” and a bad choice for investments. A suggestion from Greg was to invest $xxK aross 8 different mid to high grade INVESTMENT rated bonds and that putting the entire $xxxK in a single junk bond was more risky than his previous situation of being 100% in stocks.

Two hours with Dan simply trying to schedule a single phone call to speak with me about DAD’s investments; Dan continues to not be responsive to my meeting request and continues to not answer any specific questions I ask about DAD’s investments. When confronted on the xxxK CD investment not being fully FDIC insured he first screamed back at me that “FDIC INSURED MEANS IT’S INSURED!”; then, when I replied with the fact that no single CD invested at a single bank is insured beyond $xxxK, he suddenly changed his tune and sent me an immediate second email that he could spread the $xxxxK across multiple CD’s if that’s what DAD wanted which in essence was admitting he’d been caught in a lie and that what I said was actually accurate and that currently DAD has $xxxK invested in a single CD but only $xxxK of that CD is FDIC insured. The remaining $xxxK is 100% subject to complete loss especially considering Dan put the entire $xxxK investment in a single CD at a single bank

Decided to run the network cable through living room/bedroom windows instead of the attic as the attic is difficult to navigate. Properly insulated windows where they seal and considering the addition of the network cabling impacting proper closing. Used the ACCOUNTANTe foam stripping I used to seal the dinining room/porch doorway. Worked good and network connection is solid.
Installed shelving in personal/Joel office and boxed up several unneeded or non-functioning new items recently purchased from Amazon which need to be dropped off at UPS for return
Purchased two additional new office equipment items for testing and specifically to improve/upgrade our secure storage solution for personal/financial data; both items will possibly be returned if found to offer no value
Purchased various other office supplies like new black printer ink and a new box of printer paper.
Saved/noted copies of all recent AMEX 7005 invoices related to office/home purchases to print and give to DAD for reference with indication of amounts and purpose for each
Worked with Jada to have a annual subscription to a worthwhile computer antivirus service transferred into my name.
Informed ACCOUNTANT Cannon that Jada was still receiving balance updates from Woodforest Bank and that this needed to be terminated and also have myself added as the person who recieved any future balance statements related to Woodforest account.
Digitally stored/verified that all PaySafe credit card processing service/merchant accounts were legally signed and official
Spoke with Greg a bit about DAD’s financial arrangement with Woodstock WM and Dan/Covenant

SUNDAY 08/20/23

Installed new shelving in DAD office above his computer monitor
Spent 3 hours working out the technical details of ensuring that all of our office computers are scheduled for daily backups and also that a solid, multi level means of restoring any/all of them was in place and functioning. Several recent AMEX 7005 purchases were central to this process and will have to make DAD aware of these invoices and why/what they were for. But did succeed in setting up both a solid daily computer backup/imaging of all three home office computers as well as redundant methods to both store the daily backups but also to adequately and quickly restore any of the machines.
Spoke with ACCOUNTANT Cannon about the need to get any data I need in order to be assigned official access to Woodforest bank account info including online access as required.
Reviewed all upcoming work that needs to be done in quickbooks and regarding new invoices/deposits.

Spoke a bit with Greg about my latest request to Dan at Covenant for an overview of payment structures DAD is bound to with Woodstock Financial and Covenant. Dan did not simply send an overview of DAD’s current payment scheme but instead sent an official Docusign agreement requesting DAD’s signature which was very odd as it implied that an agreement was not already in place. Greg recommend to definitely NOT sign a thing and that Dan should be able to simply send over an overview of DAD’s current fee structure as it pertains to his existing agreement with Woodstock Wealth management and Covenant. Greg also recommended I ask for a complete, 3 year record log of all payments DAD has made to both Woodstock Wealth Mangement and Covenant and that nothing need be signed for that and it should be easily provided.

That was done and provided to hera as well as copies sent to Jennifer Beenan and Chris Lyle.

Wrote up simple explanation of how FDIC and SIPC both work as solid insurance for both CD purhases and money market accounts like FDRXX, specifically showing how SIPC functions as dependably as FDIC but with a much higher maximum coverage per money market fund (500K vs 250K)

Began researching flow meter acquisition/installation//options for placement out of site on all main daily-use water pipes: kitchen/bathroom sinks, outside faucets, washing machine water input, DAD/Joel showers, water heater, etc. Point of beginning this project is to reconcile last months water bill (2000 gallons?!) with what I perceive as a much less use of water on DAD/Joel part throughout any given work week.Simple indication of inputs to do the work on this:

EXAMPLE: If two showers equals approximately ~20 gallons per shower (that’s slightly generous) then considering DAD/Joel take a max of one showers per week EACH, then that’s just 40 gallons for showering alone every week and across the billing month.. What piques my interest is where the other 1740 gallons went?

** one important factor is that I recently enrolled household in an “average based monthly’ pay plan so that 2000 gallon might be considering the entire time before (only a month ago) enrolling us in the month-average plan so will look into that too; immediate hunch is that it makes sense….

Checked ambient temp of house interior and attic at 3pm after leaving AC completely turned off while at shop all day, then compared difference of attic/home interior temperature versus outdoor temp to determine whether the fan/radiant barrier was functioning correctly.

Outdoor temp: 96F -> house interior w/o AC: 80F -> inside of house with no AC all day was 16F lower than outdoor temp (ideal/far better than average S TX home).

Outdoor temp: 96F -> attic temp: 105F -> attic temperature with no AC on all day was 9 degrees hotter than the outdoor temp (S TX state recommendation is attic temp should never be over 20 degrees higher than outdoor temp; therefore, an attic temp of only 9 degrees hotter than the outdoor temp is exceptional considering the 20 degree delta/threshold published by the state of Texas.

Conclusion: The radiant barrier/insulation/solar exhaust fan are working very well.

Noted the date of Amica’s claim and the “Date Paid” which was 06/03/24 and then looked at every piece of mail we have received at 1121 Westmont since 06/03/24 to find that, according to the USPS Informed Delivery account, no mail from Amica (via USPS at least) has not been received.
Printed and explained the mail verification process I saw to at USPS to DAD and noted that it’s possible he never received a check at all but was simply remembering the Claims Payment Notice which he did indeed leave on his desk and which I found and filed for him when cleaning
Went through all data received from Amica to-date to ensure the check was not somewhere in my office; found no indication of any check from Amica ever being on my desk/files

Spoke with various Amica representatives and determined first check was printed on 06/04/24; rep said that it’s highly unlikely that the check would have arrived before 06/06/24 (Thursday, time of DAD departure to Vegas) and that is likely why I can find no verification with USPS that anything from Amica came to our mailbox last week.
Had amica (Anders Watson) void first check and re issue the Amica payment check; Anders confirmed that he had done such and we should see the re issued check within a week (ACCOUNTANTe as first check)

Did full walk about of post storm property; took full walk about photo and video log of entire front/back property as well as a good amount of time video documenting the state of the attic space as this was the reason for DAD’s “crisis” moment earlier that night when he was banging on my door claiming the roof had been torn off the house (dramatic but gets the point across). Turns out the attic space, the radiant barrier install and all of the “blow in” insulation material was as new. This is why we document…

Authored/edited various posts on personal legal blog
Discussed DAD personal filing system and explained that I’d been planning on building that out for months. No use to do so until he is here 100% of the time as allowing him to randomly rifle through the invoice system I’ve created for myself AS A CONTRACTOR for HTIRE would not function as his actions while I’m away would quickly destroy the work I’ve done creating a filing system that allows me to perform my contractual duties. Texas laws make clear that such actions are unlawful if employing a contractor of any kind and that, in fact, anything I design and/or create that is central to my doing my contractual job is legally considered my (the contractors) intellectual property.
Informed DAD that today is when my personal time begins (thru Sun) and other than simple things like needing an invoice for pricing could be handled in the typical fashion (IE: simple text instead of driving over and almost losing control emotionally because he claims he could not price an invoice for Magellan which was likely the only work they did at the shop that day).
For the record, every statement I send to any client includes a copy of every hand written invoice posted and reflected on the statements; I copy DAD on all such statements, so the data he needs at any given time, if it’s been posted and presented as a statement, is in his email already and so why waste gas driving over for trivial matters that could be solved by simply taking a photo of every invoice he makes out or simply re visiting past statements?. This is exactly what I do every day and it makes finding past, important data quite easy. He repels at such suggestions, though, like it’s too hard or something Or even more so, like he’s offended I’m offering viably good advice..
Several hours legal research on laws regarding contract work and landlord/tenant relations; printed important findings and filed for future reference in advance of expected upset once I start certain certified letter deliveries which will go out in the next two weeks (cease desist letters/etc. Related to 12/11/23 claims made against my mental health). Letters are drafted and am awaiting attorney proof read before sending.
Spoke with the Jennings family in NYC for an hour or more; was asked quite matter of factly if I’d like to come and work/live there in NYC but declined, citing it will be held as a valuable reserve option if necessary in the coming weeks and if DAD psychosis continues to escalate. Also qualified that I’m more concerned for my DADs well being than my own at the moment and that to simply gather my stuff and leave this week would not be appropriate. For the record, this is only one of about three immediate flight options I am researching in preparation for that last resort becoming necessary as all signs seem to indicate such will likely be necessary sooner than later..
Created new “LEGAL” file folder for my personal filing cabinet for research documents
Printed important LANDLORD/TENANT documents clearly outlining my rights regarding my personal spaces; set aside to certify and then mail. Basics are that DAD (landlord) cannot ever enter my personal space without 24 hour notice stating the purpose for entry. This was relieving as he is quite fond of just walking into my room and standing over me as though I’m to stop what I’m doing and “serve” him immediately. I will send this data to him in the next week or two.
Printed various legal documents regarding TX law and the destruction of a tenants personal property by landlord or any other individual and filed for future reference in the event of needing to pursue legal recourse should more violent events occur in my personal space (there have been many video/audio documented events over past few years with two specific persons responsible for about $xxxx.00 in intentional damage to my personal tools and property. No compensation for such intentional, provable damage has ever been mentioned or offered by those who destroyed my property. So I will be prepared next time. I will ultimately publish extensive details on all such past violent events (including the complete destruction of my personal $5000 computer/workstation several years ago by DAD during one of his rage episodes; he basically just barged into my room, grabbed my primary desktop computer, literally just picking the computer up and yanking it from the floor, breaking connectionn cables and everything, then carried it out of my room and violently threw it down on the living room floor; when he finally brought it back, it was of course destroyed. So, I had to immediately build a new $5000+ workstation as that machine is my primary and highly important work tool/platform. This was the same time when he also dragged me all about the house, threw me in the bath tub, scalded me with hot water and then “made” me spend several hours cleaning the house with him following me about saying things like “oh yeah! We’re gonna get to work! Yeah, we’re not even close to being finished!” (to me, at the time, it sounded like he was speaking to my 15 year old self lol … very fucking wierd.; all the while full aware of what was transpring but deciding to just go along with his psychotic break as simply and quickly rendering him unconscious would not have played out well for me after the fact, though the thought crossed my mind.. I mean, there's only so much disrespect one can take but I lean towards reason and not impulse, always, so obviously just letting him go through his episode was the best choice. Similar violence upon myself would go on to occur several times over the years between 2021 and 2024 with the last being the most severe.

Talked with B Jennings again about assisting her with setting up text to voice dictation on her personal computer
Copied past full week of 24/7 audio logs to cloud server and reset recording device
Printed more TX law documents outlining the nuances of a contract employee using his/her own equipment to fullfill ones contractual duties; findings all indicate that this should represent a notable increase in salary. As things stand, I am using all of my own persona equipment (outside of the hard drives HTIRE sourced for our cloud server) every day to see to my HTIRE contract work which, according to all research should factor into an increased pay rate; I will be requesting legal meetings to define a legitimate contractual agreement within the next two months as $xxx (after taxes) is realy only about ⅓ of what I should be charging as a contractor for HTIRE.

Emaiiled invoice scans to DAD for pricing
Spoke with CO located rep at McGee company via voice call and confirmed that they only show invoice data for the tire changer which makes sense as I think I bought the Esko tool and inputted it already (not from McGee). Also confirmed once more that we are now (AFAWK) correctly set up to have all invoices paid at time of services rendered and via HTIRE AMEX 7005 since part of yesterday was speaking with her (in CO) and our local TX McGee rep on joint calls to identify a slight mismatch in invoicing which was resolved.

At shop location from 9am to 3pm (DAD ON TRIP)
SHOP: Mounted two new ST235/16’s for RAY w/ Cheetah and drafted written invoice which was placed with other waiting Cheetah invoices that will be ran via CC soon
SHOP: Arturo w/ Great Western stopped by but we had the wrong size trailer tires; called K&M and organized the delivery of the correct size (SUPERCARGO ST235/85R16). Also arranged for the return of the two SuperCargo ST23580R16’s which were the incorrect size
Several phone calls with ACCT to resolve a single Cheetah Square payment that was not showing as inputted; found invoice in question and forwarded to Fernando to input so he could finish his closing work at the ACCT office
Phone call to Martinez Auto to address a check that was written to them which our ACCT said had never been deposited. Resolved the issue with Jaime at Martinez when he checked to find that the check had actually been written to them for $xxx.00 instead of the $xxx.77 item that ACCT was showing in our company file. Problem solved.
Logged onto DAD brokerage account, generated investment statements for CORPORATE brokerage from last five months and forwarded .PDFs for each statement to HTIRE ACCT
Call GRTWSTRN and updated them that their tires had arrived (correct ones) and that Arturo could come by any time Friday to see to the work.

Mounted two 16” ALLSTEEL trailer tires for GWESTRN MTLS for DAD’s disabled employee who said he was too weak to do the work; handled driver and paper work and informed client/driver.
Organized incoming mail and filed for leaving on DAD desk at home office
Fixed stopped up toilet at shop location (mens bath) and opened the typically locked, LADIES room for the ETParts guys till I could get the mens bath going. Let the ETPRTS guys know the MENS room was fixed once I fixed it (just a clogged toilet).
Received FedEx letter for ETPrts Owner and left on his desk in back of property; left note, dated, initialed, photos (J.E. Owner of ETPrts had asked that I receive any random small packages such as that delivered today). Also informed ETPrts driver of the FedEx delivery for J.E.
Spoke with Santos (contractor) and confirmed final work on home Facia repair; Santos will be providing two separate quotes, specifically for insurance submission as we have two open claims with INSURANCE CO and he will write one quote for the first claim and one quote for the second claim, specifying that the quotes intended for insurance submission will be made out as though to a random client (IE: will reflect a significantly higher cost than our personal arrangement which he said might assist with getting as much from insurance as possible)
Santos said the job we are (when complete) paying for will cost us $xxxx once factoring in the additional cost of extra work found along the way but the job would typically run a client upwards of $xxxx to $xxxx, showing where he’d done a lot of work which he just “threw in” and did not charge for.
Photo documented all of Santos’ indicated extra work
Messaged DAD on trip with updates to work ongoing at shop

Fixed two panels on my personal vehicle where OG/factory brackets had begun breaking; found parts at local auto store; super cheap, easy fix. No more sagging side panel.
Cut front lawn and blew off front walkway and drive area, including assisting with some of Santos’ (contractor) debris left from still in process housewife facia replacement
Spoke voice with Santos (contractor) and he informed me that for the last part of his facia repair project he would have to source a taller ladder and would be continuing work first thing Monday morning (expecting to also finish on Monday or at least be at the point of painting/finishing the material.
Also cut immediate neighbors front lawn as generally there’s not enough battery charge left in the EGO lawnmower to do our own backyard so it’s an easy 20 minutes of extra exercise to simply keep mowing and over into their front yard. I had let them know some months ago, that I might be doing this at random and if their lawn was free of the many cars that are often parked in the grass. IE: fully informed and they had no issue with my proposition (duh).
Installed new solar panel/charger for personal wi fi cam installed on CITY pole that is positioned within our drive space. This is a new, JOEL/PERSONALLY purchased camera installed specifically to monitor only my personal vehicle; I also self-payed for the solar charger (which works amazing considering it was only $18). I leave my car unlocked every night simply to avoid broken windows (it’s happened) and about six months ago, my car was entered and ran sacked (but no windows broken!) and the camera will help in at least identifying such activity in the future.
Took photos of new camera/solar panel installation and archived on cloud server on the chance others who have damaged my personal property in the past (specific fam member) might do so again, allowing me to follow proper legal recourse in such an event.
Before starting yard work, noticed brother had left his personal 55” TV on our back porch with the main glass panel exposed to the constant contractor and my personal machine work around that space. Phoned brother to let him know that I would not be responsible for any damage to the TV due to it’s placement but needed to inform him as damage to the panel is almost guaranteed considering the way he left it. I also let him know I would not be touching the property (TV) he left but would try and avoid damaging it as I saw to the work I need to do in that same area. (my necessary protocol currently is to remain 100% uninvolved in random storage of other person’s property here at the home; reasons should be obvious.
Took photos of TV left on back porch by brother with signed/dated note and archived for future reference

30 min meeting with Santos (contractor) to discuss the finishing steps of house repair; re visited the authoring of two quotes as we have two claims open with HOME INS.
Left impact wrench (was in living room) out on the drive for Kevin to come pick up after DAD calling asking where it was when it was (literally) right in the middle of the living room since Saturday.
Dad left message in my door file folder that he could not access Fidelity; user error guaranteed as I log on to his Fidelity account every day from both of or main home work stations; for the nth time, I instructed him to not try and access Fidelty via his cel phone or laptop due to the stringent/super problematic security protocols that such brokerages are naturally inclined to emply. Super easy to get locked out, etc.
Called and confirmed that Kevin picked up the mysteriously unfindable impact wrench off the front drive. FYI> The shop impact wrench, in it’s HUGE ASS DeWalt baq was right in the middle of the living room so how DAD didn’t notice it is beyond me. More cognitive decline? He left a note on my door saying he looked in my car which is stupid since the giant ass impact (and bag) were, literally, sitting right in front of him all night previous. Considering the degree with which he scrutinizes my personal spaces (looking for god knows what) … I think it’s impossible that he’d not have seen the GIANT ASS DEWALT impact bag sitting between himself and the TV that he spends all of his free time in front of (endless Joe Namoth commercials lol).
Messaged contacts at Amica for two separate insurance claims in the works atm; letting both contacts, associated with both claims know that I would have an official contractor quote within the week.

Trip across town to MicroCenter to return a network adapter we did not need (bought for temporary use during recent power outage
Sent several invoices to DAD for pricing purposes (I repeatedly suggest he simply use his phone to take a picture of any invoice he completes and everything will always be right there on his phone which would save him the need to call me three times a day to photo and send him a copy of an invoice he could simply photo as soon as he makes it out (and so on); but this is typically received as offensive or “how dare you” kind of thing but it’s so obvious and such a simple solution to his constantly needing to look at old invoices for new invoice pricing data that I still mention it from time to time; it’s exactly how I maintain a solid archive of every document I need to retain or refer back to. In fact? I photo document at least 5 to 20 work related documents every day simply to have quick access to them in the future.
Received call from DAD while seeing to persona; matters about town (Thurs thru Sun are considered JOEL personal time; during out initial discussion, I asked that he just consider those days as my being back at AMZ working) asking me, literally for “surviellance” info on his disabled employee who had been sent over to weed eat. Basically asking me (while in the middle of MicroCenter) when Kevin arrived at the house and if he was still there and basically just a senseless, problematic (for me) phone call. I tried to express this tactfully but don’t think he got it.
Met with Santos and was updated that he would be done with home facia repair (final sealant of hardyplank) and we could finish paying for the job by weeks end. Informed DAD of Santos conversation

At home all day otherwise, made a point to use slide lock to prevent DAD from forcing into room but took a chance around 2pm to go to the kitchen to refill my water bottle but within 30 seconds, DAD had created a random reason to immediately rise (from his Joe Namoth commercial chair) and literally follow me right into my office and hover over me. This confirmed that I should just keep my door completely locked as his reason for walking without notice into my personal space had nothing to do with his claimed reasons.
Otherwise, tried to enjoy a few private moments which required carefully monitoring DADs movements so as to ensure my personal spaces were locked (it’s becoming a problem, his absolute lack of anything to do but watch commercials all afternoon just WAITING for an opp to find some way into my office where the only thing he does, once walking in like it’s his own space, is immediately begin scanning the entire space looking for whatever “conjured demons” that continue to grow in his mind
I would prefer to leave my door partially open but with the slide lock engaged but even that, after today, is not going to be sufficient and I will have to simply lock my bedroom and office door simply to keep him out.

Emptied shredders and took city bins out for pickup
Stopped by shop to lend an ozone generator to owners of ETXParts at our shared brick/mortar shop addresses
Assisted DAD with finding an TGS invoice needed for pricing; ensured audio log was capturing and suggested, as I have countless times (tactfully) that I am not going to be available certain times in the coming weeks and that I’m genuinely attempting to assist him when I suggest, “you should just take a photo of every new invoice you make out, Dad.” … going on (see audio log) to calmly and honestly comment that I do it all day every day, myself and find it essential as a tool … and it’s the obvious solution to needing to access data exchanged daily. I took care here as it’s truly a valuable archival tool. But as with many times before, he seemed nearly offended at my suggesting such a simple, immediate fix to a recurring problem that requires six to 10 more steps to solve than just taking a photo of each invoice, per client, once finalized (IE: call to me (while I’m working on several other things at once totally unrelated), asking me to hunt down a paper invoice, then asking that I photograph that invoice (if I can find it) and “shoot me a copy” so I can ensure the pricing is consistent.” … my then having to crop and message the invoice that he could have just taken a photo of yesterday when he made it out lol.

- looked into cancelling DAD CapONE Spark card after having to pay the 5x.xx yearly fee and thought it best to discuss just leaving the card open until before the next yearly billing since the upcoming year has been paid for.

Right at my desk, hovering over me … as though the cable was something I should be aware of. It was weird and he obviously was seekin an opp to be close to me physically: circle back to his paranoia issue …

10AM CALL from DAD claiming his “computer” didn’t work this morning and that “something must have happened” last night; I explained its likely normal, microsoft PC stuff that we all have to deal with and that I’d fixx it.
5 minutes to fix DAD computer; Microsoft had slipped in update that changed EDge back to the default browser; I reverted Chrome to be the default browser and then used dependable utility to absolutely block MS Edge from being functional on DAD computer. Also, adjust Win updates to be paused for the next 5 weeks as I think a lot of these sorts of issues (for all of us) are tied to microsoft updates “sneaking” unwanted stuff in.

Home depot to buy hole saw and other tools to start installing permanent, re usable “portals” through various bedroom walls to use the “roll about” portable AC unit. Think the hole saw I got from Home Depot (DISCV card) is not going to work so will be returning it for refund to DISCVR card. I did manage to cut a 6” hole in the drywall of my personal office and am testing the portable AC unit simply exhausting into the wall until I can cut a proper hole in the brick outside wall (diamond bit saw coming in tomorrow). So far, it is working well. Main goal is to see if once I fashion an appropriate wall exhaust, if leaving the home central AC off while I work with just the portable AC unit going might make any difference in monthly energy bills.

Slept to a record breaking 11 am
To shopping for basics
Odd thing was that when I explained the installation of the portable AC unit and that it was hard but fun, Dad spoke as though he never intended to keep the thing, anyway. The odd part is that when first purchasing the unit and as it set, unused in the living room, I made a point to ask him at that time if he’d prefer to just send it back as, after some reading, I realizeed it would require some real work to make happen. He distinctly told me that day (see audio log) that he’d prefer to keep it. So, with him out of town this past weekend (only time I can get work done), I said fuck it and went ahead and installed a solid aluminum exhaust shaft, cutting outdoor brick, etc. just to have the thing (a valuable, useable, resource) available .. I mean, better than using it as a desk.

But his immediate reaction, after showing him the install was one of repugnance, saying he’d rather have just sold it or something. Fucking weird considering his earlier comment about wanting to keep it after I suggested it might be best to simply return it to AMZ due to the work tax.

Checked printer paper and shredder bins/emptied for trash pickup tomorrow
Received random call (multiple..) from DAD requesting more invoicing data on Cheetah and their typical work at the shop; I sent all the same invoices he constantly requests I send but also made a (thousandth?) respectful recommendation that he simply photograph every invoice he makes out so as to be able to just look the up in his phone. He complained saying that was too much work but I qualified with the fact that it’s the most reasonable, efficient and super easy way to document his pricing habits. Finishing my comments with the very true fact that I do the same thing with any invoice I handle. Here again, he seemed offended that I should suggest *he* actually do something or develop a useful habit simply by DOCUMENTING every invoice he makes out. It’s like he *expects* anything/everything to be “served” to him. Very frustrating as I was in the middle of a conference call at the time and in my service to another company..
Scanned and sent about 100 Cheetah invoices to DAD; once more clarifying that he could always just go back to our text message log and find anything he needs as I just send him the same data over and over and it’s all on his phone already.
Further, vocal qualification with DAD (see audio log) that I did not mean to offend when offering what I believe are simple solutions to recurring issues like simply wanting to know what one charged a customer most recently; IE: just take a photo of every new invoice. I mean, it’s so simple and would eliminate at least 4 or more unnecessary steps in the way of phone calls, my scanning/re photographing, etc. Just basically repeating the same unnecessary process each day (and it should be said that this is FRI which is my “I’m working for the other company” day. Which he knows and has agreed to (see audio log).

SUN 09/08/24:

Cat litter/bathroom clean/house vAC
All day on personal work
Got briefly sucked into a burglary drama that occurred on the previous day at HTIRE/SHOP. Discovered video of intruder, published video of even to youtube, printed multiple still shots of the individual and emailed both DAD and John E (property owner). At that point, I considered myself out of the conversation.
DAD/JOEL NOTE: See audio/video publication I did for this as I will be publishing this entire encounter caught on my office camera to youtube once I have time to edit and add subtitles as the audio is not that great. It won’t be attractive as I’m embarrassingly lacking in clothing but it’s not inappropriate (other than showing I need to get back in the gym lol.

But later DAD comes back to my room a bit later and tries to engage me in further dialogue about the event, of course, just gross dialogue whether I thought the fellow/burglar was mexican or black or some clearly racsist type questioning (though he would frame it differently of course) and I, literally (see the online video) was doing my semi regular body wash bath in my private space and I politely commented that none of what he was saying was of any concern of mine and that should be the end of the conversation;

This is a perfect example of how I have to lock myself away from him, especially on Sundays which are precious time for me, because even after calmly letting him know I was not interested in discussing the nuances of the burglars race or the event otherwise, he keeps pressing and pressing.

And (see video) another thing he often does in reaction to calm requests for no more conversation goes on to say, “Now see your all worked up!” and I’m sitting their dumbfounded thinking how in the world could this man not understand my calm, decent response that I had nothing more to say on the matter and that I had done my job and that was that and then politely leave me be as any “normal” person would.

But it’s the length of time he presses and the way he points back to me, half naked as it were, enjoying my “bath” saying, “Now your getting all worked up!” … when, if you watch the video, it’s quite evident I simply tell him I have no more to say on the matter and in no part of the dialogue am I “worked up”; I’m, just trying to get some body cleaning done lol.

I even, jokingly say, “see? I’m even videoing myself bathing, how in the world could I be “worked up” about something lmao”.

That is the real “danger” of leaving my office door open and so hence, I generally always slide lock or completely lock it as a means of forcing boundaries (something suggested to me by various council over the past months
Refined and upscaled/printed several more of the burglar photos for DAD and left on his desk, informing him of doing so.

Brief organizing of waiting quickbooks new work
Spent time with DAD explaining how to use the new system I’m working on that will allow him to look up past client invoices quickly (goal being to eliminate unnecessary distractions like him calling me multiple times a day to comb through old invoices for pricing information; not an offensive thing for me but certainly an area where improvement can be made. So I’ve begun setting up a special folder in his inbox where all client statements will be stored each month; and since each statement includes a copy of every invoice from that month? Over time, with some practice, he’ll be able to simply go to that folder in hisi nbox and see any recent/past invoice to quickly assess proper pricing against previous work.
