Sometimes admin is actually quite enjoyable when you’ve got a beautiful system to put everything in…
…and a very committed assistant who contributes absolutely nothing, sleeps through every meeting and somehow still expects payment in treats. 🐾😂
Teddy’s role in Fern Dale appears to be:
supervise,
nap,
occasionally reposition himself directly where I need to sit,
and provide emotional support during excessive amounts of admin.
In fairness, he’s very good at it.
There’s something oddly satisfying about getting all the plans, ideas and moving parts out of my head and into one place - especially with this little face beside me while I do it.
Small business life: part making, part admin, part wondering how the dog has managed to become middle management.
