NASHVILLE LUMBER COMPANY

This lumber company had been in business for over 100 years when I had applied for employment. I had applied for a position as sales support for the outside salesman that catered to the contractors that were building homes in and around the Nashville Tennessee area.

One of the sales staff, Roy Barberi, was the top lumber sales man in Tennessee. After working for the company for a very short time I noticed that the home builders, the companies that actually built the homes to have the real estate brokers sell, were having billing problems with Nashville Lumber.

This lumber company was in a locked contract with the home builders to have a "bid" price that they paid for each tract home that was built...these were not "custum" homes.

The company was over-charging the home builders, over the "locked contract bid price".

The contract stated that if the bill was over the "bid" price the company did not have to pay the bill, until it was at or under the bid price. ron Truex was the plant super-intendent and the foreman, Steve, had the job of setting the lumber prices as to correspond to the 'bid' prices on the bills as to correctly invoice the customers. What he was failing to do was price all the other items, as to be at or under the bid price, such as hangers, re bar, jack posts and any other item you use to build a house, besides lumber.

John Hunter was the "accounts receivable" representative for the company. To make himself look good and the rest of the company, he was taking the checks from the companies that owed us money, and regardless what the check had been written specifically to cover the expense of, Nashville Lumber was applying the checks to whatever the oldest "open" invoices in the "open transaction" report were. letting it appear as all the invoices were paid "up to date", and there could have not been anything further from the truth. As a matter of fact, the company was owed more than 5 million dollars in invoices and most were more than 2 years old.

When Mr. Hunter had applied these checks to the oldest invoices in our system it made it impossible to tell what exactly had been paid for. The remittance form our customers sent every month with there checks, showing "what" the checks were paying for was ignored by our clerk, John Hunter. Ron Truex, the plant manager was well aware of the behavior of his subordinates but since he could not fix the problem it was being covered up and ignored to the tune of  over
 $ 5,660,000.00.!!!!!!


AFTER OVER 100 YEARS IN BUSINESS
YOU WOULD THINK THEY COULD DO SOMETHING RIGHT. 
IT WAS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THEY WERE NOT LEARNING ANYTHING,
AT LEAST ABOUT THEIR JOBS....WHAT THEY WERE GETTING PAID TO DO.


One of the largest customer that Nashville Lumber had was PULTE HOMES of California, the largest manufacturer of homes in the United States.

One day Roy Barberi came in to the office and said that he had a meeting with the regional manager of PULTE HOMES and asked if I would attend the meeting with him. He had stated before about the billing problem and I told him I would check into a remedy for the company's billing problems, which spanned the entire customer base.

Roy had asked me to generate the invoices that had not been paid by the company because of overbidding and to bring copies to the meeting. The stack of invoices for the month was about 9 inches tall. They had to be signed by the regional manager and then resubmitted to the company, PULTE HOMES for payment.

Not only was this going to make Roy, our company, John Hunter and Ron Trues look bad, it also made the regonal manager look like he was not doing his job.

At the meeting when the invoices came up, and the manager found out that the 9 inch stack of invoices were just for the current month, he was livid and ask how many more were there from months before this, and Roy stated, "there is alot."

The regional manager of PULTE HOMES took the stack of invoices and threw them across the room and stated that if our company could not bill them correctly, he would find a company that would.
When we left Roy stated, "We have to fix this problem, we can't afford to lose them as a customer."
As if that needed to be said. I told Roy that I would find a solution.


SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE STATED HERE IS THAT THE MACHO EMPLOYEES....THE ONES WITH GIRLFRIENDS AND NO FUCKING BRAINS
STATED THAT THE LAST PERSON TO HOLD MY JOB WAS A FAG, TOO.
AND HE COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER, AS IF BEING GAY
WAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD HINDER MY, OR ANYBODYS,
ABILITY TO DO A HETRO-SEXUAL MAN'S JOB.
THEY DID NOT KNOW "WHAT THEY WERE WORKING WITH"
RIGHT MICHAEL FELL.????


We had a meeting with the upper management of our company to find out "if" there was a viable solution to the staggering problem the company was having with cash flow. In the meeting the first obvious question was "can we get paid the money these companies owe us?" We need to know "exactly" what has been paid for. Well, now that was impossible from the company's point of view, since they all had been so good at covering it up for so long, and since John Hunter had disregarded the remittance form sent with the checks, it did seem impossible and everyone thought that nobody knew "exactly" what had been paid for.


They could have called the companies and told them they were all a bunch of mindless assholes that don't have a fucking clue what they are doing except fucking up, but their "hetro-sexual" MACHO ego's wouldn't let them.

I then told the company run an 'Open Transaction' report, of everything in your computer that
HAS NOT BEEN PAID FOR.

Then re-bill the companies. The company will send it back, if it has been paid for with a copy of the cancelled check. The invoices that have not been paid for yet, they will send back with notification they have not been paid yet.

THEY ARE THE LARGEST HOME BUILDER IN THE NATION,
THEY WANT THEIR BOOKS IN ORDER....
UNLIKE NASHVILLE LUMBER.

The company said...okay Jack, get it done.

When I ran the open transaction report, it took 7 1/2 boxes of invoices and took an "OKIDATA 9-pin Printer" 4 1/2 hours to print the invoices.

Setting beside my desk the stack of invoices was 4 foot 7 inches tall, and it all had to be mailed.

While the rest of the clerical staff was mailing the invoices I had printed out to find what monies we were owed, I tried to teach the sales staff, you know the guys with the big egos, small dicks, girlfriends and a job that they could not do, how to tie a "pick ticket", what they used to pull the lumber order, to a "purchased order", what the company's used for added materials, and then generate all of them into an itemized billing invoice.......IT WAS FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE TO DO WITH IMBECILES.

Since it was obvious that we had a power struggle going on here and I knew just how to shift this, I had done it in numerous other jobs and situations.

I had the monumental task of finding out the "why" of what this problem consisted of and that I found out when I found that the bids that the company submitted to the companies were just for lumber, and only lumber. When the prices for the other items fluctuated it pushed the bids over the set price.
This seemed easy enought to fix. I got into the computer and "set" the prices at the "bid" prices, per the original bids the company's officer had signed....DONE WITH THAT JOB.

Next was a fact finding hunt to find out who was doing this, and when I found out, point it out to the HNIC (head nigga in charge) Ron Truex, and tell him to do his job, by making whomever do his job
correct.

The bids were to make sure the home builder would get the materials at a cost as to make a fair profit on there efforts, not much to ask, if your in business to make money. Also they were there to make sure that some imbeciles at a lumber company didn't  rip you off with extra material costs.

Roy had a hard time understanding why the regional manager got so mad and threw the invoices at us, the invoices were only over bid by a couple of dollars.
The gentleman stated, "Roy we are the nations largest home builder, we build over a million homes a year."

ROY ARE YOU MISSING SOMETHING HERE.
ON A "PROFIT AND LOSE" SHEET,
A COUPLE DOLLARS ON 1,000,000 HOUSES IS
A HELLA LOT OF FUCKING MONEY, DUMMY.!!!!!!!!!

TRY LOOKING AT IT FROM "THEIR" POINT OF VIEW...CHANGE YOUR "PERCEPTION"


While the company was doing Mr. John Hunter's job, by telling us what they had correctly paid for I was accessing a system in Nashville Lumber's computer system to make sure this problem was solved, and would never happen again.

IF YOU DO YOUR JOBS CORRECTLY.

The system on the computer was a DATALINE "Enterprise" software system and in it I found a "permenant transaction" mode, that would allow you to input a transaction that, if it was to be used again to billl the exact same items or materials to a specific company you entered in this mode and it became a "password" protected "BID".
Regardless whether you have a flucuation in your cost of material that you obviously needed to pass on to your regular customers. Your volume customers, that need set pricing as to be competitve in any market, may demand, as did Pulte Homes, and the regional manager of Pulte Homes.

The 'bids' were of all the materials it took to completely frame a house, about $30,000.00 to $45,000.00 of lumber, for each of the 2300 bids...there was alot of information to input into the computer database.

When the signed "contract bids" were entered in the computer, all 2300 of them, you should be able to do this with a minimal amount of physical effort....pushing keys.
But the brain power......minimal to, IF YOU LISTEN TO THE FAG.
WHICH THE DUMB MOTHER FUCKERS DIDN'T.!!!!!!!!!!!


The company was owed a whopping 5.66 million dollars....WOW, for lumber.
THAT IS ALOT OF FUCKING LUMBER....DAMN.!!!!!!!
It took me almost 4 months to get all this done, working about 12 to 14 hours per day, but only getting paid for 8 hours, the company had cut out all "overtime" for non-essential, employees.
MUST HAVE THOUGHT I WAS "EXPENDABLE",
LIKE THE BAY AREA DICKHEADS.!!!!
When the home building companies had sent the invoices back with the information we, at Nashville Lumber, needed. Exactly what they had paid for, which we didn't know, I started sending them invoices, that were correctly billed, per the bids, and the checks started flowing in and I received numerous phone call praising my ability....
TO DO MY FUCKING JOB......RIGHT.
ARROGANT
 I DON'T KNOW AND DON'T FUCKING CARE.
I LOOKED AT IT AS, NOT A JOB "WELL DONE",
JUST A JOB THAT IS DONE, THE WAY IT WAS
"ENGINEERED" TO BE DONE. 
THAT I WILL NOT HAVE TO DO OVER EVER AGAIN.

Mr. Michael Arrajj of Urban Housing & Health, and his staff is trying to engineer a society from what he stated to me. Hey asshole, machines don't have attitudes, like my bad one, and emotions and they, machines, do exactly what you tell them to do...right or wrong, IF THEY ARE ABLE TO.

I SHOULD ENGINEER YOU AND YOUR STAFF A SWIFT KICK IN THE ASS.


When this "permanent transaction" system was set up in place and running I started billing the customers and one of the first checks we received was from PULTE HOMES for a whopping 1.6 million dollars, the largest check the company had ever deposited in the bank, in the entire 100+ years of being in business. 

ARROGANT....I DON'T THINK SO, BUT "I" GOT A HUGE SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT OUT OF NUMEROUS THINGS....
  • #1 - DOING MY JOB
  • #2 - SHOWING THE DICKHEADS AT THE COMPANY "WHAT THEY WERE WORKING WITH", Michael Fell.
  • #3 - MAKING A COMPLETE ASS OUT OF ALL THE DUMMIES AT THE COMPANY
  • #4 - MAKING MY JOB EASY, SO MY MONEY WOULDN'T COME "HARD", LIKE MY "SSDI" CHECK OF $1,400.00. AND YOU THOUGHT I WAS.....WHAT, STUPID?
  • #5 - AND BEING ABLE TO SIT ON MY ASS AND MAKE MONEY, JUST LIKE I AM NOW, WITH SSDI.
 IT IS JUST THEN, I WAS MAKING IT FOR ALL OF US AT NASHVILLE LUMBER. YOU CAN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU COULD MAKE MONEY "WITH" ME BUT YOU REFUSE TO COMMUNICATE....DICKHEAD.
WELL BESIDES STEALING ALL MY SHIT AND FUCKING UP THE REST, WHICH IS TREATABLE, I'LL FUCK IT UP FOR YOU, OKAY.

The company, when I hired in, told me that if I did a "good job" they would compensate me with a raise in pay. Well I had heard that before, but that is not what I wanted at that moment, what I wanted was a job, and that is what I had.
After I had solved their problem, and did a stellar job at it, that is when I called them on their...oh yea, Jason, THEIR FUCKING "WHITE LIE", that's what it is right?
When I asked for my raise, they stated the company could not, because they had what they wanted and didn't see why the would have to take demands form a FAG, right?
Well, I seen this coming, and, I had "ACT II" of...FUCKING UP NASHVILLE LUMBER.

Well the company was owed 5.6 million and "we" recovered 5.3 million in less than 6 months, the company lost about $380,000.00, which the accountant, Gina, said was "nothing" in comparison.

The "permanent transactions" I input into their computer system was password protected and they took me as a push-over and I found that:

DISRESPECTFUL AND ARROGANT
DO YOU GET THIS YET?


YOU WILL BE TOLERATE AND ACCEPTING OF MY BEHAVIOR, NOT ME OF YOURS.

Well since I had proved to them "what they were working with", and they had showed me what I was working with and proved them to be lying assed mother fuckers, such as the assholes at Urban Housing and Health, I had to teach them some "SOCIAL CONDITIONING".

If you want to hit someone were it hurts, hit them in the wallet. You, the people of the Bay Area, have been trying to do that for a while now. My disabilities are permanent and non-treatable, and my check is in the mail, lol.

I printed out a "hard copy" of the PERMANENT TRANSACTION report and then "DELETED" the entire billing system out of their computer system. I stepped into the bathroom and tucked down the back of my pants, went out to my desk and told the staff I was going to lunch and left...permanently.

The salesman, Roy Barberi, called me at home and asked why I didn't return to work after lunch and I told them "exactly" what I had done and, more importantly, why.

He had the owner call me and threaten me to return "his" property, the report. That I found arrogant as hell, and told him he could ask for whatever he wanted....I was demanding my FUCKING raise.
He told me that he was a fine upstanding individual and attended church every Sunday, and all that social shit that made him look good to others, but I didn't care what you looked like to anyone but me, and my "perception" of you is:

YOU ARE A LYING FUCKING PEICE OF SHIT
THAT NEEDS A REALITY CHECK ABOUT FAGS
THAT YOUR TRY TO INTIMIDATE.


HE NEVER GOT HIS REPORT AND
I NEVER GOT ANOTHER GOOD PAYINNG JOB...
WHAT I DID GET WAS....
A SOCIAL DISORDER AND
A $1,400.00 PER MONTH CHECK, LMFAO.!!!!
DICKHEADS
