As per fortnightly monday, i went to see my business advisor, Andi. I was told to do some canvassing (visiting places to advertise my business to them) last week, and i did go out and talk to a handful of people, but not very many and i didn't get any work. Still, i did go and chat to the printers, and i did update my website, and i did get myself a photographer, but still, no money was made, so disappointment.
So Andi recommended i have another go and keep trying. Then i had to ask.. is it worth calling Anyone over the christmas period? "Well, you may as well take a week off." Andi explained. The main events, christmas and new year fall in midweek this year, so there will barely be any proper working days for the next fortnight. I'm pretty much shut off from doing any canvassing even if i wanted to.
On my way back (remember, this is mid day) i pass the construction site above. Usually busy and noisey, the only movement i could see was the crane swinging above and a beeping tone from an alarm somewhere deep within. I figure little is going to happen here for the next fortnight. I remember back at the OS, everything would shut down for the full two weeks. The eerie silence is like a foretelling of what is about to happen: The country is going into its annual hibernation for the darkest days of the year before waking up in the next decade, which will start with twenty-ten, people!
Still, this is a positive thing. What do you make of it all, Spider?
Agreed.
Oh Spider, your insights are as thought provoking as always!
