Friday: 42 Days

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
42 days and counting, which after today, equates to six weeks! And, yes, I hope my boss doesn't take me up on the offer I mentioned yesterday. I'm done. By the way, of those 42 days, I'll only actually work 17 full days and 6 half days, in between vacation days and weekends.

Not that I'm counting.

Brand the biz(es.)
I bought and installed a new music training software program for my students. Still need to make that CD for the Mexican place. Today is Lessons Day... I'll be too busy teaching this morning and this afternoon to do much prep.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
Goal met. Not only did I read another chapter of Small Business For Dummies, but I also chatted with Molly Jean , who happens to be a local small biz owner herself.

Pending. Lots of "Pending"s for a Friday. I usually hit some of this stuff on Wednesday mornings, but I had to go Abbott to conduct interviews this week. See? All the more reason for me to leave. Okay, sure, it comes with a nice paycheck and health insurance, but sheesh. It's interfering with my real job.

Taxes.
Goal met! Well, I compiled my data and submitted my documents, anyway. That's Step 1.

Meanwhile, I randomly accepted an OpenOrder and four out of eight DirectOrders at Textbroker. The OpenOrder is due TOMORROW, and I have no idea when I'm going to write it between now and then, so I must be insane, but it was a high-dollar order for a small amount of writing. The DirectOrders I have all week on, so I'll prolly hit those Sunday.
