morslaThings I like:
Business Plan competition. Good fun, great experience - spontaneously forming a team of strangers, collaborating on the plan via wiki, and reaching the finals. We won a $1,000 encouragement award and Jason now has a proper business plan for TeachMeAnywhere, plus access to some legal support from one of the competition sponsors.
Painting (part the first). We played with sample pots of paint on Sunday, and have decided to only paint a few rooms before moving in - after cleaning the walls, the rest are fine. I like painting, despite the many, many jokes I've heard about painting things in 1:1 scale.
Spring. It's warm enough to wander around in a T-shirt, but not too hot to get any work done during the day. Plus, everything is nice and green in Somerville at the moment.
Things I'm not so keen on:
Connecting utilities and comparing plans. I've hopefully finished organising for electricity and gas in the new place. Phone and internet are a job for next week.
Phoning people (part of the point above). I spend my workdays (at home or RMIT) silently working at a computer or painting desk. I'd much rather fire off a quick email when I'm between other jobs, instead of trying my luck with call centres and automated menus.
Companies with useless websites. If your site amounts to "call this number for details" you just lost my business...
