No Rest For The Wicked
It's taking me a bit to get back into this fully. It's 2 days before Christmas! That means that I'm at home in Moncton and I've been doing quite a bit of work, sleeping, and visiting friends and family. I can't post my MissBiz articles until after the break - which will be around the first of January - because they are on my laptop, which is inconveniently at school.
In the meantime, it is 3:23 am and I am writing a press release for TeeBoxx which will be sent out to a company in the states (I believe Chicago) who will then forward it to publications worldwide - hopefully in time for the tradeshow at the end of January. My dad left for Hong Kong at the first of this month and he returned on December 15th with printed posters and brochures for the show. It all looks really good!
My problem is the passport issue. As of January 2007, everyone will need an actual passport to travel to and from the USA/ Canada. As you can imagine, there is a major backlog right now due to the holiday's and people needed to get back and forth from their vacations. I just got my application signed from my family doctor today. I also got my passport picture taken a few days ago, which I have to take to Fredericton (which is a 2 hour drive away) to drop it off. I hope I get it on time or else MissBiz might be outta luck!
Tonight, however, I've been writing this press release and frantically searching for an adequate MissBiz article to write about. I'm fairly certain I know what I'm going to write about - something in regards to supporting and funding sports teams in Atlantic Canada, and how it boosts the economy and cohesion of surrouning communities. I'm treating this as a means to learn more about the needs, benefits, and overall role of sports (particularly hockey) in Canada as a business. As I may have mentioned before, I'm helping with the business side of developing a hockey team for a city in Atlantic Canada (which will remain un-named until further developments!). I need to do as much research as possible on the topic so I am well versed in all aspects of the business. Also, this might be a good way to show local businesses how important it is to support local sports teams. I figure, I'm killing several huge birds with one stone.
I'm off to bed!
Keep Bizzy!
