I hope I'm not becoming this guy. I stepped in to a situation to save a warehouse full of media from being tossed in the trash, and now I'm dealing with a lot more than I ever thought I would.
There have been unforseen delays, and it's been over a year with no progress. Everything is stable, and I'm trying to do the right thing for everyone, but there are some customers that are rightly annoyed by the delays.
I've had to tell some customers off... Basically you'll get your stuff when you get it, and not before. It's really an issue of I can't get their stuff out first no matter what they pay because it's buried somewhere in the middle of a container I can't unload.
It's frustrating on all sides, but my challenges are made more difficult sometimes when I feel like I can't ever satisfy some of the people I'm trying to help.

- ceejayoz 5y agoIt sounds like OP's in possession of an uninventoried stack of specific customer data that they're working their way through, and more out of kindness than profitability.
- fencepost 5y agoIt was more a case of "someone else sold a service to people, failed as a business, all the physical media of those clients was close to being trashed, and he stepped in and took it on." http://www.crossies.com/murfie/crossies_history.html http://www.crossies.com/murfie/crossies_history.html
