BYU FOOTBALL BEGINS HOY

Big desk, encouraging stuff on walls, check. Rap forthcoming.

So after a 2-hour meeting that ends at 9pm a person can get pretty hungry and impatient. I told the place to bring pizza 10 min before our meeting ended. 8:50 came around and no pizza. 8:58 came around and I called, they told me the driver already left and it should be there soon. The place is like 200 yards away so I wasn’t worried. When it got to be 9:05 and hungry angry people were leaving I was a little torqued. I called back and told the guy to call the driver. I could have been nicer So delivery man shows up 25 mins late and we finally get to eat. I don’t know how much my bishopric member tipped him but the delivery guy had to have felt dumb. My bishop was pretty irritated, too and wants to escalate it to a regional manager level which I think is good, if I managed something like that I would want to know if a group of 50 people had a negative opinion about my pizza.

There is a Utah-famous story about senate majority leader Curt Bramble and how he belittled a pizza girl and was a total jerk about it. Here’s a link to the pizza girl’s blog who wrote about it. Crazy story!

# 1 Actually pay myself

Parker Planners is profitable and going pretty well but I’ve chosen not to pay myself so it could grow faster and be a stable concern. Because I’m out of school and I work there full-time it’s time to reap a little of the benefits and take things more seriously.

# 2 Get office space!

Stepping in the door at Secure Source at 6:15 in the morning really had some power. You’re the only one there and you can do your morning routine in complete solace and your mind is super clear so you can organize important tasks and do most of them before most people are conscious! For Parker Planners it will be a challenge to find the right fit but it will be worth the hunt.

Oh yeah, we acquired a competitor, RMDaily Planner. The owner is a current BYU student and a cool guy, we agreed on a price before I left town and are closing the deal when I get back. We’re really excited about it. Should boost online sales.

So one thing I helped my brother-in-law do was learn web development. I made their website a while back and he’s working on a few of his own. One of which is a T-shirt company called spooftee.com. He’s got some funny shirts.

So now to dating. Why not? Ahhh, peoples attracted to each other. So my sister has a friend here in town that she’s always wanted me to go out with. It hasn’t happened sooner becuase one of us has always been in a relationship whenever I was in town. Now that we’re both single and I’m here she set us up. Muy fun. I’ll skimp on the details but man it’s cruddy when you meet someone neat and and they live mucho miles away.

I’m still in AZ right now and today I went with the three owners of Secure Source (2 are brothers in law) to a place called Tomo near Phoenix, AZ. Best sushi I’ve had in my life to this point. Wow. I used to think the fancy sushi rolls were overrated and it was all about a simple piece of fish and maybe some avocado in there. I stand before you today as a convert of way awesome sushi with fried crud and lots of other goodness on there!
