The Plan...Complete!

I’m back! Wow, almost a week without an update, how shameful. What have I been doing?...the Chaninni marketing plan. The good news? WE FINISHED IT! On Thursday I did the revision on it, which was crazy. I was just about finished when the file crashed, and I had to restart with all my formatting. The stupid school gives you so little space to save on, and I had run out, so it hadn’t been auto saving. My partner, Karen, worked on the PowerPoint (we had to present that day too). It was a mad rush, get it printing, binded, grab food, go bad to the library because I forgot the USB card, run to finish the powerpoint, run to class, leave class to make some last minute changes to the powerpoint, reprint it, go back to class, and finally do the presentation without any rehearsal. It was a crazy Thursday, we were both freaking. But, the final plan was about 100 pages double spaced. Yes, we wrote that in 7 days, it’s crazy. That’s all I did for the last 7 days, sit in the computer lab working on it. Other people from the class would see Karen and I and give their moral support and vent about the other group members who shafted us. I think it turned out well. It’s a lot better that what we had with the other group, A LOT better!

Oh, and a funny story about when I was grabbing food for us. I went to Subway (Sreng will be proud), and ordered my sub. The worker gave it to me, then started working on the next order. I waited by the cash to pay, but he didn’t come. I was rushing, so I left. But, then I felt bad for not paying so I went back. I went up to the same guy and said that I hadn’t paid for my Sweet Onion Tery. sub. He was like “we don’t take interac” (i was holding my card). So I said, “okay, that’s fine” (i had cash). He just looked at me, like he never saw me before in his life. So I told him again that I need to pay, but he was like “you want to know the prices of the subs?” This guy was out of it or something. I didn’t have time for this, so I said no and left without paying again. Hey, at least I tried. It was so strange, I felt like it was just me or something (since my mind was on the plan).

Yesterday I worked, and trained a new girl. She’s nice. 9inch worked, so that was lots of fun. It was kinda busy yesterday too, and the staff wasn’t the strongest. Lot’s of people training in kitchen. After work Mike and I had beer (Creemore all the way!), and planned a shopping trip to Kensington Market for Wednesday.
Now, I have to start on a 20 page Philosophy/marketing essay that I have due on Wednesday. Good news is that there’s only 3 more days of school left for the term. Can’t wait!
