In YAA, basically, you set up a business, and sell the products, with many other people. It goes for about 6 months. When you register, they ask you where you live, and they try to allocate you somewhere close to where you live.

My meeting place was close to my school because i lived so far away from it ^^

I remember making our product which was body butter and lip balm....they were bad days.....my uniform was always smeared with the stuff.....it was hard to wash off becasue it was like wax and to make matters worse nobody ever wanted to clean up......every maufacturing Monday made me going home smelling like a combination of Chanel No. 5, watermelon, mango passionfruit, strawberry and grape.....then there was coundting the stuff we had made and how much was wasted........most of the tubes didn't even wind up....

Those are the days i DO NOT miss

when did we have a grape flavour???

Anyways, b/c me and laura live close to the PCYC, we were usually the last ones to stay behind and clean up cos everyone had to catch a train or go with rob or col to get dropped off

 

[astro]

excuse me...sometimes i was left with narelle to clean up whilst everyone was upstairs doing something or rather....laura rarely cleaned up.....the hot water nearly killed me coz if you used cold water the ingredients would get stuck on the bowl...every monday night i got home at about 7.30pm that....and we did have a grape flavour for lip balm, didn't we?....it was the purple one......

I do not miss... the company secretary's self-righteous lectures on handing things in on time etc. (especially when he lost the share register!)
I also do not miss looking for lost stock (we couldn't account for almost half our stock at one stage... ). so stressful.

 

[Kulazzi]

I know, counting each and individual stock......................takes.................a.............................long.........................time.............................
