It’s been several weeks since my last blog entry and I must apologise to my million and one ardent fans, even the closet ones (who am I kidding?). Number 1 reason for the inactivity is that shockingly, I’ve been quite busy at work lately so not much free time during the day to think up silly stuff and actually type them out and upload.
After thinking hard about what sort of business I could set up which would enable me be my own boss, it finally hit me that:
- there is nothing that I can effectively do within a 4 working hour day. I can only properly function between 10am and 2pm but to excel at anything, you have to put in more hours! Why didn't I come into this world as one of the Queen’s corgis or Paris Hilton’s chihuahua?
- I thought of bringing Vegenosis (a hyposis program that convinces kids to love vegetables) to Ghana but I struggle to find a qualified hypnotist or even willing guinea pigs
- Someone is yet to invent a device that can capture what is in your thoughts and transfer it into a nicely typed and formatted blog entry!
Ref number 3 above; for several weeks now I’ve been thinking about it plus how to synchronise my Blackberry to my PC and having a really hard time.
Even a nice shower with my favourite shower cream plus and some yummy smoothies created with my new super duper Philips Blender have not restored my will to live after battling with these stupid ideas running in my head!
It upsets me that my husband deals with this kind of carp (yes, I know it says, "Carp." I was reading something and someone had misspelled "crap" and I decided that carp was much more descriptive anyway so that's what I'm using from now on. But I digress.) all day long and is still the very model of patience. When I step in the door everyday at 6:30pm looking harassed and ready to bite off someone’s head, he looks up with a very sanguine look on his face and says: “hello! How was your day”? and then I really do wanna bite off his damn head.
Now I’m thinking of setting up a public library, book shop, book swap shop, coffee shop…. Now that has to work right?
What are some of the most stupid, carp or silly business ideas you’ve ever thought of? And if some of you have actually been able to get a business off the ground and thrive, please share some titbits (I do love the word tit, yes I do!)
i thought of something else when i read veginosis - my prolific mind accidentally replaced the 'e' with an 'a' and wondered how could that induce children to eat v*ggies.
ReplyDeleteyou were right re: SL airport. it has effin deteriorated ;( - no AC, no power, no svelte smoking lounge. add to that the hassle of taking water taxi as the chopper, after fastening your seatbelt, started making funny noises. hence the transfer to sea coach express. not to mention that you have to be prepared 5 hours before your actual flight. ahhh, the joys of flying within west african air space.
on to business - i am really wondering what will be the next 'it' thing in accra...
i've actually been feeling a bit guilty for a few days now cos i've really been slating S/L off to anyone who would listen. But it is the pits isnt it?? I was soooo glad to be back home!
ReplyDeleteJojo, i really cannot comment on your v*ginosis 'misadventure .. i mean how did you manage that?? really! :-)
