Awake? Moi?
Aug. 19th, 2004 05:58 pmI've actually been up since noon. Yesterday was a fairly full day for me, and I didn't get home until late, so I didn't say much then. Here's a quick recap of the events of yesterday:
Got up at 9:00 am to wake up and do some simple prep-work for a 1:00 pm meeting with the entrepreneur who's hired me. The prep work was pretty much just making a list of issues and questions I wanted to discuss with him. It turned out to be a good idea, because it took some 2 hours of the meeting to work through the list.
Anyway, I did some surfing, grabbed a quick breakfast of hard-boiled eggs and cheese, and was out the door at 11:45.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
taxlady drove me to the pointe-clair village where I caught a bus at 12:15, and was at the meeting place (Tim Hortons) for 12:55, slightly early even. I had just gotten in line to buy some coffee when K, the entrepreneur showed up, and said he had raced there and had yet to have breakfast, so could we go somewhere else to eat, his treat.
As my breakfast had been 4 hours earlier, and small, I readily agreed, and we walked to a local greasy spoon called Moe's. We spent the next 4 hours discussing the nitty-gritty of investors, financing, organization, personnelle and money needs, and so on.
Just as last time, I came away with that Good News / Bad News feeling.
( Details under the cut, because its getting long )Anyway, another bit of good news is that K is willing to start acruing my pay from last Friday, since I've offerred to help him through this whole mess of setting up the company, and he can afford to pay me a monthly stippend while things drag on. The stippend won't keep me out of the poor house, but it will help delay things, and may well buy enough time to get the actual money.
Anyway, after the meeting, and a quick bit to eat, I headed off to thenancyrihakova and the
denizsarikaya's residence (AKA 'Diva's House of Pain'), for a game of Settlers of Catan with them and
_sps_. It was a long and surprisingly hard-fought game.
(Althoughdenizsarikaya's work commitments prevented her from showing up early enough to join in), and I most enjoyed it. I haven't seen enough of some of my friends lately. I'm hoping that this might change soon.
taxlady came to pick me and
_sps_ up and after dropping him at his place, we headed home. We got in around 2:00 am, and I spent an hour catching up on LJ and email, and then I went to bed.
