So, I just got home from work a few minutes ago, let my two dogs run around for awhile, put them back into their crates, and here I am. I don't know how long I'll have to write before I have to go pick up C from his work-related party, but I thought I'd try to put a few words down.
Work was awful slow, I sent one employee home early because of her poor attitude, and closed the store without her. Peaceful.
Today, I talked to Tom about the city council trying to set up a gay business district. He reacted much like I expected. He didn't think the city needed one, and who wants a bunch of rainbow flags crying "We're here, we're queer, we're not going anywhere." Personally, I think it would be a great opportunity for someone to start a small business and market to the gay disposable dollar. I'm thinking a art/craft store like the one in Portland, OR. or a bookstore like the ones in D.C. I'd need to find some investors, but it could be the perfect opportunity to become self-employed.
I also think that a gay business district is a good idea in this small conservative town, so that the 6-10% of the population who is gay or lesbian have a place in which to feel safe. Thoughts anyone?
