Journal

So today is the last day I have to sort out these financials for this brick of a business plan. The stupid thing with spending so much time on the financials is that they are all projections and assumptions aimed at getting on the NEIS scheme, and in real life I know they aren’t going to mean a thing. But I still have to get them right.

As my brother the accountant said, “You can get your projections to show AAAANNYTHINGGGGGG”. Which makes me go, “what is the point, then?” Welcome to the world of business.

Also I tried to give J.Le a lift to work this morning and my car is as dead as a dodo. Which is quite dead. I really wanted to kick it and say, “You have caused me nothing but debt”. But that would have been bad form in front of all the commuters streaming towards the station. I’m thinking of ditching the car in the new year. Given that I am working from home, and J.Le prefers public transport, we can probably get by with one car. My mother has done cautious hmmming at the idea, saying “people with babies need two cars i think” but really, we’ve got 18 years before the baby is going to be asking for the keys.
I am possibly wound a bit tight today. I hereby adopt the cone of silence for the rest of the day and would only communicate with the world in hand gestures. Except for the bits where I am on the phone. I will then use tapping. Bring on tomorrow.
