Robbie's first business!
Robbie enjoyed art most at school. He liked maths and music too, but because it was hard for Robbie to spell words correctly or to understand texts, he didn't enjoy being at school. In English, he had lots of problems. So, when Robbie was 12, his parents decided to teach Robbie differently at home. There he learnt about business and working on computers and spent more time happily studying art and playing his guitar.
Robbie's grandmother started teaching him to cook too, which, like his mother and aunt, he really enjoyed doing. One day, she told him her secret way of making jam. Soon Robbie made too much for the family to eat so he took it to the friends in his street. He made more and more jam. It tasted so good that the other people started buying it from him. Robbie added all his costs together and decided on a price. Then he made a business plan on the computer with help from his dad. Now Robbie sells his jam at a weekly market. It tastes wonderful and it's healthy because Robbie uses juice and use no sugar to make it.
"I'm still only 14 but I'm already a businessman", Robbie laughs. “Last week l got £93 because 87 different customers bought 52 kilos of my jam, and a supermarket wants to sell it too. My career is in jam-making I think!"

I don't like parties. I don't like interacting with people in a forced setting. I'm an introvert and would enjoy a night alone gaming 10 times as much.
I don't care for Halloween. I don't enjoy dressing up, candy, or "scary" themed things. It isn't fun, and I don't understand the big deal.
My wife has organized a halloween party, as a going-away party, at a friends house. She's stressed out about all the details, and I hate every aspect of it. I'm running all these errands, for a perfectly orchestrated hors d'oeuvres menu. Spending hundreds of dollars on decorations and food, for one stupid night of awkward small talk and repetitive conversation.
We're moving 300 miles north for my new job, but don't have an apartment yet. We still have a dozen boxes to pack, clothes to pack, and I need to get a moving truck and find a place to stay.
Right now I work from home, but with all the anxiety from the move and party, I can't focus and end up playing stupid flash games. Stuck in recursive loop of frustration and anxiety management. I'm compulsively lying to my wife about the hours I'm working, and fudging my time sheet to make ends meet. I keep making excuses at work and doing the bare minimum's skating by by the skin of my teeth,
The party hasn't even started yet, and I'm just sitting stewing trying to endure the next five hours of party mode. This is a big deal for my wife and she is stressed as it is. I want to be supportive, and that's where all of this frustration and anxiety manifest.
