Young Entrepreneurs; Monday, Period 6 [ 04/06 ].

Turtle definitely had a lot of errands to run before the meeting today. A week of zombie invasion sort of threw a wrench into the whole smoothing-running of things, but it seemed pretty fitting, as that's what she was going to talk about.

First, the coffee and donuts with a little space for the presumed inevitable pie, althuogh she wouldn't have held it against Ned if he didn't exactly have the time to make one or two considering how, less than twenty-four hours ago, they were invaded by zombies.

But business waited for no event. And that's what she'd be talking about.

"Things happen," she started, "and the world keeps spinning, even if it feels like everything just needs to stop for a bit and hold on. The world of business isn't going to hold on for you. It's going to go ahead and if you can't keep up, it'll leave you behind. Some of the things for the kits came in; we'll be working on starting to put them together today."

"But, while the world of business keeps moving, there's still a certain delicate...balance to consider about timing. As in war, so in business. The right move at the right time can lead to victory; the wrong one at the wrong time, however, could be disastrous. Consider, for example, if we were to finish up the kits today and release them to the public. The timing would be terrible. We could get them out this week, easily, I think, but would it be wise? A day late, a dollar short. Not only that, but so soon would make it look like we're trying to take advantage of the recent event and turn a profit from that. People don't like that. We've probably got about three weeks safety area before we could really do much, really."

Turtle shrugged a little. "Get them out during exam week, actually, and we might not only take advantage of the exam stress, but also the support of having them out before anything happens at graduation. The trick to timing, of course, is to be able to hide the fact that you're being advantageous about when you put this stuff out."

It's a fairly relaxed day, considering what it's following, so Turtle mostly just expects people to network with a little side of work.

Ned had no pies today. He still had a sore wrist which made stirring anything tough. So, he looked a little glum while putting together some kits.

"Didn't quite get the chance to bake, huh?" asked Turtle, unsurprised and with a small smile that said it was kind of sad, but totally understandable.

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"No," he said and frowned. "I got yanked around by one of those things before some...really strong woman rescued me. And then it was just too busy to really think of baking."

"Yeah..." Turtle said, quietly, trailing off a little with a thoughtful frown.

"You're okay, though, right?"

Leto, having managed to catch up with the events of the past week, was relieved to see the others in one piece.

"Weren't you, like, a tree or something last week?" Turtle asked, her tone sounding a little bit envious.

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

[future_sandworm]

"I was," Leto confirmed. "And I've heard I missed a zombie invasion." Not that he was envious about that, but he could have offered some help.

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Turtle nodded, then gave a faint, wry grin. "Boy, you sure nailed the timing on that one."

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

Turtle made sure everyone had a checklist of things to put in them before carefully going down her own with each new one she filled in.

Alice was disjointed, and somewhat surprised that all of her limbs still worked. She was going to choose to stare at the kits and hope they assembled themselves.

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

"Alice? How are you?" Leto gave her a look of concern, reaching out a hand towards her.

Alice took his hand, lacing the fingers through her own. "I spent several days as part of the horde of the undead," she said. "It's a bit ... odd, trying to be myself once more."

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

[future_sandworm]

He tugged her a little closer. "I am sorry." Words seemed useless when expressing concern about something like that.

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle gave Alice a faint smile. "How's it going?"

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice smiled back, hesitantly. "I believe I've been far better," she noted. "And I should like to extend my apologies, if I happened to ... try to ... chew on you, whilst not myself."

Re: Network/Discuss/Throw together a few kits -- 04/06.

Turtle shook her head. "Nope, you're good. No nibbling on me, anyway. I stayed pretty clear of people I knew. Just a little too weird for me."
