The year is wearing on, and even though part of my mind still seems convinced it’s February and dates things accordingly, we are now almost a quarter of the way through the year. The Jabberwocky has picked up some events for the summer, which is excellent news, and I am in an excellent mood as a result of this. I think general Spring feelings also help, with Leamington Spa once more coated in blossom and the garden full of bare earth that might even turn into flowers.
The last few weeks have been spattered with good things, in many ways, and these have helped outweigh a certain amount of sadness that would otherwise have nested in the darker reaches of my mind. The good things haven’t been earth-shattering enough to warrant troubling the internet with, but they have all been better than a cold cup of tea.
Point 1, although it’s worth noting that my cranial filing system likes to sort these things pretty randomly.
My sudden skill in Photoshopping pictures has let to a brand new hobby, for all those moments that would otherwise probably be spent pretending I was doing research. We will take the Wocky around the world. Not only that, but it gives me something to do with Pinterest, which is apparently going to be the next big social media thing.
Point 2: The Beast passed his MOT. Old news if you follow us on twitter of course, but considering the all too magnificent failure last year I think it deserves an honorary mention at least.
Point 3: While our pitch applications are not currently yielding thousands of open doors and hungry punters, I feel like we are learning things. The static pitch is a big deal, so a no or six are to be expected, but we will keep trying.
Point 4: I have an odd feeling a if we are on the edge of getting something right. The various social channels that I’ve been working on might just suddenly make something good happen. I know that as Triumphs go this is a surprisingly lame one, but I feel like we are now almost in the same room as the guy who owns the book that you would have to be on the right page of. Rather than not even knowing that books were a good way of figuring it out. This is possibly the point that is giving me most satisfaction, because while Barny lives in the real world I have always rather liked the Jabberwocky’s virtual one.
Point 5: The key to every successful business is making money. I believe that’s the terribly brutal truth of it. Somewhere in this the government wanders over and has a cut, so we have finally started to take steps to find someone who can help us with that.
The best thing about a positive attitude is that you want to annoy everyone with it, so chin up folks, we’ll get through this.
I recommend tea.
