Week 6-Small Business Creation

This week has been a tiny bit less stressful but still not great. I've been so busy that I think my home phone answering machine has been full for about 3 months. There is a perk to it though. The random sales type calls have become almost extinct. I do recommend it. It's kind of nice not to have to chase the phone so much.

The Acton Hero wasn't as inspiring this week as in previous weeks. He is still a great guy with great things to say. I really wish I was brave enough to take that hour I talked about in the assignment and find out what my purpose in life is.

I really liked the discussion about Zappos. I guess the priority of the company makes a difference whether or not a company is willing to pay someone to quit. I wish every business did that. It would seem to increase good customer service which is lacking in a lot of businesses. At first I thought I would want the money but the the more I thought it about it, Zappos must be a pretty good place to work. You probably have to keep a good attitude and pull your weight to keep your job. It might be a tad stressful to have to worry if you were contributing positively to the culture.

I am extremely frustrated with the HMM quiz this week. The instructions say to go through the 20 minute path. I did that and then the quiz covered something entirely different. Totally frustrating.

I'm about at the exact same place I was a week ago. I got to finish the first towel this week or last (I'm losing track of the weeks) and began on the second one. I got one row done this weekend when I was out of town. I had hoped to finish the second towel. I'm going to have to block off time sometime this week and get the other items sewn on my sewing machine. It's week 7 in class so I've really got to buckle down and get this done.
