and worked on the classified ads, revised a new payment plan, and did collections.
I brought the collections down from $56,000 down to $12,000

finding it very difficult to get paid. They closed the paper down about
8 months after I left.

client appointments, heavy phone calls, taking payments, banking, paying bills,
filing, attending scheduled court sessions, and preparing cases to be battled with the
IRS
In 2002 we were asked to manage the office building we were in.
The owner found out that we had owned a small cafe for 10 years. He asked if we
could manage the cafe for him, he knew nothing about running a cafe.
He heard nothing but good things about our cafe. The Café was part of the
buildings he had just purchased and the season to reopen was just about here.
He was desperate and in a bind, it was our off season for taxes we said yes and
negotiated a deal. I ran the café and Steve ran the office this lasted over a year.
The end of November 2006 my husband (Steve) pasted away. In Feb. 2007 I closed
our office doors.
2001-2002 Bottomline Bookkeeping - Front Office
Vista, Ca
Part time front office, I learned to use a couple of PC programs. Quick books
and Peachtree I did data entry, reconciliation's and balancing of books, I went to
different offices and pick up their books to be balanced. Sometimes I went to different
offices and did the books there a couple of times a months also worked off their
computers from our office. I did filing and phones as well as meeting and greeting
customers and, scheduling appointments, during tax season I did sorting and
categorizing of clients papers and receipts.
2000-2002 The Measure Men- Office Manager
Vista, Ca
I worked part time at Bottomline Bookkeeping, and this. I did all the office work,
scheduling, appointments, handled phones, invoices, banking, filing, cooking and
cleaning.
1990-2000 The Burro Bend Cafe - Owner/Operator
Ocotillo Wells, Ca.
Husband and I purchased a small family cafe/gas/parts/grocery store/
storage place. We serviced an off-road vehicle park/campground/airport
strip, across from our place in Ocotillo Wells. I did everything from
hiring to firing, cleaning bathrooms and dishes, banking, customer service
and, cooking. I took care of the advertising, inventory, purchasing and ordering.
I ordered everything from food and gas to parts, wood, propane, as well as t-shirts, hats
and sundries, Had to maintain an A rating in the cafe from the Health Department, keep
up our Beer, Wine and Tobacco License, also all our permits for gas and propane. We
had to keep up to building code on our building, it was over 100 years old and under the
grandfathers clause, there were things we had to do and things we couldn't do, or we
would lose our status and cause trouble in a lot of other areas of the building code.
I determined whether all orders for the week should be large or
small orders. We couldn't run short, out in the middle of nowhere people were
depending on us to get them through the weekend.
It was necessary to know if this was going to be a good 4 day $30,000 weekend or
decent weekend $6,000 to $10,000. This took calculating and
analyzing of past records. I couldn’t order too much or too little
We kept it very positive at all times for our staff of 10-12. They were willing to
work when ever we needed them. There wasn't much out there in Ocotillo Wells just 2
cafe’s competing for business competing for the same business.
This was a seasonal job our season ran from the middle of October till the
weather got to hot,in May.
After our first season we saw how important it was for us to know first aid.
We had the only phone for miles, at that time cell phones were new and big.
No cell towers out in the middle of the desert.
It took an ambulance anywhere from 45 min to 2 hours to get to our place.
Sometimes it had already taken the people 30 minutes just to get to our place.
We had to do what we could in the mean time. We had the EMT's (emergence
medical technicians) come out and give us a basic first aid course.
This cafe was the hardest job and yet the most exciting and rewarding
job. It would be the fastest pace job, where I had them 6 deep and 5 wide, at the
registers in the cafe and out at the pumps. Those days we ran from 6 am till we
finally closed the doors, at 2am just running all day long all handing us money.
You dealt with very hungry people, people who needed water real bad due to heat
exhaustion. The weather varied from the hottest (twice in my 10 years 132 degrees) to
the coldest days at (24 degrees where it hurt your hands to go pump gas). It was the
windiest and the most humid place. This job made me strong and able to deal with a
variety of different circumstances.
I ran special promotions almost every weekend. Negotiated on several different
occasions with different movie producers. Had filming done at our café for movies such
as, The X-Files, a series called Manhattan Arizona, this aired on TV for about two
seasons, and a movie call Two Men And A Job. Negotiated with a Korean group who
came out for 2 weeks and film a Korean Soap Opera. I also booked photo shoots for
clothing magazines. I even had the Manager for Pink Floyd come and discuss a filming
for a new recording. Had (Burro Bend Cafe) entered in a special book in Hollywood of
places to have films made.
1987-1990 Vista Flooring Repair- Manager
Vista, Ca.
Worked out of our home for about 6 months then we got to big and had
to move to an office building, where we expanded and began to buy, sell
and install carpet, and different kinds or flooring materials. I took care of
all the phones, scheduling of appointments, dealing with Flooring
reps, bills, banking, filing, and a few time ended up having to assist with
the actual installing of carpet and tile floors. I did whatever it took to keep us going.
I also took care of shipping and receiving and clients.
