I asked to be laid off from GardenWorks at the end of November. I've been living it up unemployment style this month! It's great!!! What an underrated choice! I haven't been totally free of duties though. I'm starting an urban container gardening business w/ my friend Brian for the beginning of March 2006. He's heading to Vietnam on Sunday. So there has been a major rush to complete all of the preperation. We've been slaving over our business plan over the last two weeks...firming up rates, costs and our branding bend. This Friday will be searching for money day (my least favourite hobby)! We're looking for investors. It's a hard thing to ask friends and family to invest. I'm just making sure anyone that does invest will make money in return. A very important trade off for investing...(besides bloodlines). Fun but stressfull! Not the worst kind of stress though! I'm starting to really like the ideas we're developing. Shitty part is I have no social life right now. I can't go to Yuk Yuk's tonight w/ Chris and his friends. I've spent 24hrs on this project within the last two days. Today doesn't look any different. I just want Chris to come by and put his arms around me right now and give me moral support. I'm feeling pretty drained right now. But alas, the end result will be worth it!
