La Bene Vita

Monday

I still have one Textbroker OpenOrder pending....! I didn't get anything done I wanted to yesterday. Instead, we got my oil changed, picked up the kids to birthday shop for their mother, and went out to dinner. Life interferes on occasion.

Resign from Abbott by 3/1/10.
In progress and on schedule. And because of the way my lessons are lining up, I may have enough vacation to stick it out one more month. That would put me at Friday, 4/2 (which is, fittingly, the answer), except for the fact that that's Good Friday. I have to be at church that night. So unless my boss lets me work day shift for my last day (which, he might), then my last day will actually be 4/1.

"Hey, boss. I'm resigning today. ...yeah, just kidding. Wahhhhhhhhh-hahahahahaha!!! No, wait. I'm really resigning."

Brand the biz(es.)
I put lettering in my tip box identifying my name and web address, which means I'm marketing at Potbelly now in addition to bd's. For the last week or so, I've also been setting out business cards at Potbelly. And Saturday morning, the church music leaders had a planning meeting; I told them all to start spreading my name as a music instructor. Word of mouth is a good marketing strategy in this business.

More things I need to do: Buy an electric piano; buy a sound system; find training software that is uni-instrumental, clean up my desktop that I never use, and install the software; and, of course, finish my music instruction books... at least for guitar and piano, since I have both beginning in February.

Business: Music Instruction Books.
Fail. I *had* big plans. I went out for Mexican instead.
