Monday morning cold call = Big NO NO

Every Monday morning is hectic! Any seasoned cold callers should know that's a bad time to call. Excuse my short temper, as I've explained to my dad a few days ago that I'm currently experiencing 'mid-life crisis', but DO NOT COLD CALL ME on Monday. Or better yet, do NOT call me at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I live without a microwave oven?

I don't use it everyday. When I try to heat up some oatmeal tonight, the microwave oven decided to break down on me! Should I get a replacement? My kitchen is not that big, so having 1 less appliance would be good for the space. Without it, I no longer have the convenience I'm so used to. To buy, or not to buy?

First Sewing Project

Chair Nazi

There was this episode of Seinfeld about the "Soup Nazi". I wish I
can treat my customers like him...so I'll be the "Chair Nazi".

New Toy

When mid-life crisis hit, some may buy a flashy sports car. I got myself a sewing machine! :D

My beau is so environmental friendly!

This is 2 weeks worth of his drink collection...

Is China no longer the world's manufacturer?

A snobby manufacturer has trouble delivering 3 small benches we ordered 1 month ago. This kind of order used to take 2 weeks to deliver. They've also rejected an order of a booth we ordered last week! I suspect their workers are infected by the "on-strike" disease that spread from Foxconn like wildfire. Is it another sign from the Universe that I can finally change career?

Take the freaking sunglasses off!

The other day, a client came in to look at our furniture for the third time. She was about to place an order. It was 10:30am. She was wearing her "Bug Eyes" dark lenses sunglasses the whole time. It was so difficult to talk to her. Where was I supposes to look? Her nose? Or forehead? It was impossible to make 'eye' contact. How was I supposed to close a sale?!

Battlefield

Why does everyday feels like a battle? On a good day, I'd feel exhaused by 6pm. On a bad day, I'd feel shattered by 11am. If it wasn't arguing with my boss (mom), it'd be dealing with evil clients or receiving poor quality crap from suppliers. All these make getting out of bed everyday so difficult.

Sweet life?

To some, it may be pathetic. A good evening to me can be enjoying a simple home cooked dish with a glass of red wine in front of my laptop and 42" LCD TV.
