It Must Be Thursday. I Never Could Get the Hang of Thursdays.

Ever since I opened my first business in SL - back in 2005 - I've noticed one thing... From an earnings viewpoint, Thursdays suck.

For some reason, my sales always drop dramatically on a Thursday. Maybe that's because Thursday is the day of the week where you're furthest away from the preceding weekend (but still a full day away from the next one...), and everybodies enthusiasm-batteries just seem to be a little bit too run down. Whatever the cause, it certainly doesn't seem to be the cool day of the week to buy new lingerie. Or a lucky chair.

I wonder if other SL shops suffer a Thursday slow-down too? ... or what about real-life stores? I remember when I was younger, all the rl shops near me used to open late on a Thursday night (they open late *every* night now ... but once, it was only one day a week... and that day was Thursday). I wonder if that was a conscious effort to try to boost an otherwise lackluster midweek trade? (and I further wonder if "Thursday promotions" is a trick worth copying in SL....)

Hmmmmm...

Oh! You're probably wondering why I chose to decorate this posting with a mostly-naked girlie-pic. Well, I'm pleased to report that - after yesterdays NFJBMWQ posting - I received the attached documentary evidence that the question-sender concerned was, in fact, (a) Nubile, and (b) A woman. And two out of three is a pretty good score in my books. And she looks a bit like Alison Goldfrapp too, which is never a bad thing ;)

Identity has been concealed to protect the guilty. (And retain my mostly-PG blog rating). But this is definitely one of the finest demonstrations of LapGirl's Black Onyx undie range that I've seen in a *long* time :)

Maybe Thursday has its perks after all...

(P.S. Bonus geek points if you got the reference in the title of this post!)

I'm not sure about the quote, but I've got several packets of peanuts. Oh, and beer. And a towel, because seriously... you HAVE to know where your towel is.

Why is the world so full of telephone hygenists and hairdressers?

Ohhh and I don't know how it happened, very strange indeed... but I actually made three times more sales yesterday (Thursday) than 'the norm'... though one third of them don't count as they were from the Lucky Chair vendor.
