Changes afoot, and a changing foot


Had an interesting conversation tonight about franchising. Not sure if it stood out to me because I rather like the idea of working for myself now, but it’s something I shall certainly look into it. Why come up with your own idea for a business when you can pay someone else to use their name and product to make a profit?
In other news, Philippa has been in to see her workmates to talk about the end of her maternity leave. She’s taking the full year off but is keen to go back in the New Year, hopefully on a part-time basis. She loves being a mum, but I think she misses having a place of work to go to, misses being part of a team, and misses seeing members of the public. She wasn’t there long before falling pregnant, and they’ve been really good about it all the way through, so I think she wants to pay them back with a few years of good service.
In other, other news, I think I need some new shoes. I have a habit of wearing clothes until they’re falling apart, but I may have taken it too far this time. The padding has worn away, there’s virtually no tread, and the laces have snapped so many times that I can’t even tie them up properly. I keep getting pain in my big toe, and around my heel, and today I finally had a good look to see what was going on. I’ve lost about three layers of skin from my heel and my big toenail has changed colour where it’s rubbing against the inside end. I bloody hate going shopping, but it’s time to invest in some footwear.
God I write exciting stuff sometimes, don’t I?
