Well...all of the "group" names sound neat, but I wish you would think
about the ramifications before anyone changes the name officially. I like
to think of myself as an honest person and so far the name "business" has
suited my needs extremely well.
For Example:
A name change would effect the following:
-Tax time: I could no longer tell my accountant "Write this off to Business"
-Want to stay home tonight "Sorry boys... can't go to the Legion....
business to take care of"
-Don't want to talk to Mother-In-Law on phone " Like to chat....got some
business to clean up"
-Need a free drink " Hey buddy... can you spare a beer... business has
been bad"
-Need extra computer time to play games "But Sharron....I need the
computer... I'm doing FML Business" (this one is kinda lame, but she lets
me get away with it )
- House in disarray when company calls " Hey... sorry the house is a
mess...No time for vacuuming...trying to run a business out of the house."
-Don't answer E-mail on time " Heyyyyy......sorry 'bout that my business
e-mail got mixed up with yours and ...well..... you know.....priorities
and all that!" ( ps this always works!!)
and last but not least:
-Sunday morning sleeping- in- time when pushy religion people come knocking
on the door "Sure.. come on in....just leave your shoes (and insoles) by
the door....Why ?... oh.. no reason....my business?.. well I have a
business that I run .....out of the basement . Hope you don't mind long,
low shark type animals that wear masks and have big teeth that are faster
than a politician ducking a question.....hey wait.....(sound of door
closing) you forgot your magazines! Yes officer... I was just describing
my business to them when they took off running. Sorry... I have no idea
why they were afraid to come back for their shoes......and oh yes.....their
"litature".
So... if you change the name..... I'm sunk!
