I been losing sleep over this :
I got a huge caribbean festival to do downtown for 3 days in August, and it just seems I'm hitting 1 hurdle after the other.
First there was a $2500 sign up fee for being a food vendor - finally paid that today.
Now brand new rules and regulations, starting with a $2 Million liabilty insurance I'll need, my fire extingushers need to be checked and approved now every 12 months , which is totally over due.
My refrigerated van won't start !
And I'm running out of time !
I start work at the city fair tomorrow, and I'm gone from 9am-midnight each day for the next 14 days !
Besides all that, the Caribbean festival has 80.000 attendance, and I'm only 1 out of 10 food vendors to be there.
I need to hire atleast 3 more reliabale people by then, and stock up thousands of dollars of pop and meats.
Even an entire cargo van full of food and pop/water won't be enough to get thru a full day.
Normally, I'm nervous to start new jobs, tomorrow is my first day at the fair (just selling tickets), Tuesday at 10am I have training for another job (which I'll have to tell the fair that I can't start at 10am, but later instead).
The last 3 or 4 days were just a mad house for me - leaving the house early mornings for interviews, meeting, banks, getting supplies for the big event, buying an extra freezer and fridge, and many more things I went thru.
Now, I'm out of time ! Can't do anymore until this fair job is over in 14 days.
I can't sleep !
Tomorrow, I get a $15.000 float to start out with, and I sure hope I can concentrate enough to keep the till balanced.
But dealing with cash is not new to me.
But a bit worried anyways.
