Leviathan

Just a quick update.

Things are going well. I have no phone, and I want to start looking for a new job... so I may just grab a pay as you got something or something. Bah.

I try not to think about the business.

It consumes me... every product I see, every idea I have, I start wondering how I would market it or what segments there could be within the target demographic. How many units do I have to produce and sell to maintain a profit.

Did you know that the average Canadian company operates on a 3% profit margin?

Did you know that most internet sales for women’s lingerie go to the middle east?

Did you know that potatoes are one of the only products that the poorer you are the more you buy?

Although for all the work it is, it is just work. All you need in this country to be successful is to work, which cannot be said for all of the world. We are blessed.

I am sleepy.

Okay, bed time.

It is right across the street and rents for three fifty a month.

Hey all.

Sorry I have not updated in a bit, it has been a little crazy here. I am going a little crazy here.

I spent all of today and yesterday in meetings, and I will be spending all day tomorrow doing the same. Everything is looking great as far as getting a loan goes, but I will not know for another while yet. I have found a potential store front, for a pretty good price, so if everything goes perfect, I could own my own head shop/studio as soon as January. If it goes less than perfect I should have at the very least a studio set up by January.

There is still a lot of ground to cover, as I am doing all of this on barrowed money which is being lent to me wholly on the merit of my ideas. This results in me falling to the ground and screaming in terror every now and then. Lucky this does not happen that often, although it has been happening more often.

The way this works is you get one free chance. I can show them my good idea and they will give me money once. If I fuck this up, I can get more money but next time it will be much, much harder. I will have to have my own money firstly, and I will have to answer many questions as to why I failed the first time. I am not so far in that I cannot get out, I am not so old in that this will be my only chance, but fuck! If I pull this shit off I am set for life! I will be able to do what I love for the rest of my life.

I am going to go lay down and scream for a while.

On the first day of December

She is moving out!

It really only took her three days to realize she had no options here, but her throwing up the white flag just means I cannot throw too many more stones before she leaves. Beating a dead horse is only fun for so long. I should be happy, I did after all get what I wanted. However, I am no longer taking incoming calls. Or making out going calls either. You see, she was taking money from us every month, and not paying the phone bill. So I have no phone, until further notice.

She said she would be gone before the end of the month. Glee.
