I can't remember now.

But that was... I asked my boss about that and he said, ''Oh, that's debt.''

So I accidentally showed that to the wrong person in the company once and he had a freak out about Enron having a gazillion pound overdraft as well.

Conversations

So it wasn't just me.

Conversations

When you say gazillion, is that like a...

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

It's an official Enron term.

It just means like a very large number because you're just regularly seeing staggering amounts of money coming and going.

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

But yeah, I remember the debt was pretty big, but maybe not quite as big as the funding number.

How old was your boss at the time?

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

Well, when I first started, I had a very nice boss called Phil.

And a couple of the guys I was working with were giving him quite a hard time.

Conversations

So we got switched over to another boss called Michelle.

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

Yeah, she would have been about 40.

But the guy who really knew what was going on in the department was 19 years old.

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

I was basically aware of the very raw numbers coming in, the numbers on the bank statements, the numbers on the bank recs.

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

But it was hard to tell exactly what was going on.

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

I don't think a lot of people in the finance department knew what was going on.

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

Were you told not to talk about what you were seeing?

Conversations
Encore: climbing back into life after a schizophrenia diagnosis

Yeah, I was, particularly with the funding.
