Shaking it up

I came out last night. No not like that, but sort of anyway. Last night I attended the Nov BizNet gathering. BizNet is an organisation of business people in the area I would like to sell into so it was important that I made my presence felt. Bren had put a special package of pens together and had printed up a heap of 'certificates' to promote the special. Along with my business card, and a pen, I put one on every one of the 70 places set for the function, so in essence, I handed out all my cards.

I try to write about special people I meet from time to time, and last night I meet an embalmer. Cool! Kathyn is from Canada and has been embalming folk for quite some time. I had a great time with Kathyn telling me all the details on what goes down during an embalming process. She has invited me to tour the funeral home soon, so if I get bold enough, I'll take her up on the offer.
At the end of the evening, we became co-sponsors simple because we had a quick business card draw. Too easy.

I was really depressed this morning, and had a bad time getting ready for the day, but I came through and toughed it out.

Today I caught up with some friends (to lift the depression) and we also met with one of the bigger businesses, of whom the owner was at the previous nights dinner.

Is this for real?

One of the biggest dramas I face is where to put my stuff. Well this Blogger thing may be the one, 'cos it seems to be everywhere, and anywhere, all at the same time, and I kinda like that :)

The Month in Review...just where do these days go?

Since May, my life has been 'on the go'. After the last FP visit, we had another person visit us, with the the same story, but she was much nicer about our woeful financial position, so Dee and I heard her out. We liked her so much that we invited her back next month for another chat. In the meantime, we have put our block of land up for sale...there goes Dee's dream of a new house for the short term. Our plan is to clear our debts with the profit from the land sale, and then start again with a deposit from what is left over. Dee will have completed her two year limbo with the Tax Office and I shall get a better paying job. We clear on that? While all this was going on, my brother-in-law, Pete Clarkson suddenly died back home in Christchurch. The family flew me back home for his funeral and wake. I was then asked to represent Deb and the family in delivering the eulogy. There was volcanic ash in the skys between Australia and NZ but I flew on Air New Zealand and they ke...

Macro Economics - part 1

For many many years, I have had a little statement rolling around in my head. I can't recall where I heard it, but I know it was not an original idea of my own. It goes something like this... A man's weekly wage can buy a bicycle or a good suit of clothes A man's monthly wage can buy a reasonable car A man's yearly wage can buy a luxury car A man's Half yearly wage will allow him to take a family of four on an overseas holiday Three years of a Man's wage could buy a small house/home ...and all this was from 100 years ago. Since then, I have sporadically and randomly searched for this type of reference on the internet but I've come up mostly empty, however I recently read another statement along the same lines, in that an ounce of gold could buy a pound of bread (or about 600 loaves) This has prove to be a lot richer vein to follow, if you can pardon my pun. This thought can be traced as far back as 2,500 years, so maybe after all the wondefull chan...
