Starting a Small Business

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

Hey gang!

Okay, first things first. I need you all to make sure you sign the attendance sheet and then I need each pair to let me know the name of their business.

:after that's all taken care of:

Did everyone read the handouts on budgets from last week? [ooc: no, I didn't have the link up last week - sorry!]


Now, the most important thing to know about budgets is that budgeting prepares for the future and foresees problems before they occur. However, you need to keep in mind that you won't always be able to forsee a problem.

For example, last week at my inn? Sookie, our chef, accidentally caught the stove on fire. The wall behind the stove was damaged. There was no way to predict that would happen. But, we were prepared because we had insurance coverage.

There are a lot of things you need to include in a budget, some that you may not think of right away. Your homework for next week is to work with your partner on a basic budget for your business.

Nothing that isn't going to get me expelled.

You look ridiculous.

What do you think of "Foreign Ports?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

I don't want to get expelled either.



"Foreign Ports" sounds cool. Sounds classy. We're classy guys. We should have a classy name. "Foreign Ports." "FOREIGN Ports." "Foreign PORTS." It rolls off the tongue. I like it.

I had a lousy day. That field trip was a nightmare. It was like the aftermath of zombie weekend, two weeks later. More maggots than I ever want to see again.

*shudders*

The mask is really goofy. It's way too sexy. Makes me want to imperil you.


[[ooc: Han is having a typical response to the sheer level of death he's seen today: rampaging need for human contact and touch to prove he's still alive.]]

I've got another mask, it's more 'cool superhero' rather than '60s superhero'. I'm testing 'em both out. The other one is way sexier, even without the forehead 'K'.

Maggots are pretty gross, pal. I've seen 'em before up close and nasty. Do wonders for cleaning out wounds, but it's damned disgusting and not something I'd wanna see again.

You wanna go hang out after class? Drink, talk about this business thing and anything that's not about dead bodies?

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Not like I haven't seen 'em. You fish enough meals out of the trash and they're a fact of life. Just never seen quite so many. Or so many people creepily enthused about the,

I can't hang. I'm grounded. My guardian drops me off at the gate before classes and picks me up after. But, I got booze at my place that we don't have to pay for, and hangquells to stop any morning after.

So if you'd like to come home with me...

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

But I have a girlfriend! And I'm actually straight.. as far as I know! *flails*

Can't pass up free booze, pal. Sure your guardian won't mind?

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

He doesn't mind if there's homework help. Hank's over a couple times a week. And this is pure school work. With drinks.


[[ooc: Han may or may not try anything. He may just be lusting or Charlie might end up tied out in mortal peril wearing only the mask until he acquiesces]]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

School work with drinks. Can't argue with that. *looks at the clock, wondering if class is over yet. Drinks sound good right about now, and then he can get outta here and away from Vala*

moving here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/12parseckessel/17442.html), class dismissed.
