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.


[ooc: I'm going to make "pretty comment threads" like some of the other profs have been doing]

Only one person from each pair needs to comment here. If you haven't figured it out yet, start a new thread for the two of you to work it out.

Allie signs the attendance sheet and impatiently watches the clock. She has dinner plans with Logan tonight and she's excited.

[iwasawesome.livejournal.com]

Lilly signs in, looking for Anya.

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

Hey Veronica? What do you think of "Bristow's Angels" as a name?

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica gives Vala a weird look.

"You mean Bristow as in the Dean?"


[ooc: *iz ded from your office hours thread*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky, we gotta come up with a name. Where are you?

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I mean, since it's a school project and he's, like in charage of school stuff. It would be great!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica wonders if Vala ate the cafeteria food or something, but shrugs.

"Sure, Bristow's Angels it is."


[ooc: only because after Vala's hypnosis wears off it will be fun to have a weekly reminder!]

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[absolutesnark]

Piper signs in.

Re: Report the Name of Your Mock Business Here

[absolutesnark]

"Paige came up with the name 2 Ps in a Pod for our catering service. I think it works."

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

Re: Report the Name of Your Mock Business Here

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

"Veronica and I are going to call our detective agency 'Bristow's Angels'," Vala announces proudly (and perhaps a bit loudly).

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

[ooc: who me?? *bats eyelashes*]

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

*signs in as 'Major K!'* Uh, Kawalsky couldn't make it, so I'm filling in.

*whispers to Ms Gilmore-Danes* I'm hiding from Vala who's trying to get me to do something that will get me detention and the wrath of Dean Bristow.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

I'm right here.. just don't tell Vala. I'm going incognito while she's on her Bristow kick. So.. name? Got anything in mind?

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Nothing that isn't going to get me expelled.

You look ridiculous.

What do you think of "Foreign Ports?"

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

ooc: nice mask.

[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.

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"Hey Lily," she says. Then whispers, "Were we supposed to name our businees?"


ooc: crap. IM if you want and we can think of a name not_an_ex_demon@hotmail.com

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

OOC: Thank Cally-mun. So kitschy. So perfect.

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

ooc: no ogling Anya through that thing during class ;)

Re: Report the Name of Your Mock Business Here

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

We're "Foreign Ports" an import/export firm.

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

OOC: Bwaha. Nice pictures, by the way ;)

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

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.]]

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

(ooc but ic: Yes, they were quite sexy)

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

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...

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

[ooc but ic: If you weren't my best friend's girlfriend and if I wasn't dating Liz, I would definitely ask you out for a drink.]

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

*hides from Vala because he's being incognito with his super-cool mask and Crichton's leather jacket*

You can't see me!

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

ooc but ic: Wow, that's really too bad for youbecause I love to drink

[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?

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

ooc but ic: But I love my girlfriend. *flails* Even though I may be going home with Han Solo tonight because I'm completely clueless that he's hitting on me.

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

ooc but ic: Yeah, I met Liz and she seems very nice. We are on student council together but Han is *way* physically appealing

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

ooc but ic: Liz is great. I'm smitten. But Han.. but I'm clueless. This should be fun. Or chaotic. There's a difference?

[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]]

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

ooc but ic: Chaotic is fun, but according to the dictionary they really are different. I have no idea what that is though, since my idea of fun is chaos.

[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*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

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

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, and she signs in too!

Re: Report the Name of Your Mock Business Here

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

*Anya stand proudly and announces the name of the business she and Lily came up with*

"We chose the Magic Mirror as our business' name"

Re: Sign the Attendance Sheet Here

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige signs in ((I don't know if she's been hypnotised or not yet so can't comment on how she is))
