My head hurts.
I'm told there's a Norwester today - which explains a thing or too. *sigh*
So, what's been going on lately? I'm working on turning the blog entry that I did on geeks/nerds/fans into a chapter for the thesis. It goes slowly; I'm too easily distracted. Right now, I'm meant to be reading/writing.
I've decided to start a business. It's called EnvironMenstruals. I will be selling environmentally friendly, reusable menstrual products, like cups and cloth pads. At this point I have a name, some contracts with suppliers and a parked website. I've ordered some stuff off vistaprint, so soon I will also have T-shirts (for when I go to events, such as the upcoming pagan festival), business cards, a stamp, letterhead, note pads and whatever else I decided to add to the cart. I have to visit the bank at some point to see about getting some start up money from them, and I need to see the IRD about what they want form me. Making appointment will be on Friday's to do list.
I'm working for the Disability Resource Service at university this semester, as I didn't get the teaching position I wanted. It doesn't pay much, but it's better than nothing, and 11 hours work really is only 11 hours work. Hopefully I start getting an income from the business soon so I don't go too far backwards in my own finances while I have to pay for things out of my personal income, and have no money to pay loans with. Thankfully the overheads are pretty low.
I still have to write a business plan (for the bank - I'm assuming), build the website and acquire stock, which all take time. The business plan is a problem since i have no idea what to expect in terms of sales figures and turn over in the next year. The market is way too untapped to know how big it is. However, I have a lot of great connections and opportunities coming up to get my name and my products out there already. Yay me. Sadly, I missed the chance to not be able to afford to go to the eco expo.
I've signed up to foster rescue cats though cat rescue. I currently have 2 youn'ens terrorising me constantly. Last night they decided that fighting must happen ON MY FACE at 12.30am. Luckily they decided the same at 8am this morning, so I woke up on time despite turning my alarm off in my sleep. They are awesome cute though.
