I know... You cannot imagine how I can get frustrated, I am supposed to be lady of leisure ^^
I don't know why but lately there have been requests for cake deliveries. Deliveries are fine, I need to deliver cakes to customers anyways, otherwise how do they collect from me when I am baking from home ya... But these deliveries lately that caused frustrations are deliveries to recipients, to the customers' friend/ husband etc. Yeah, so I am like providing dispatch services like the florist. Only I am not on motorbike going around.
I know what is my problem, sometimes when you get to a certain level, you just get frustrated doing clerical tasks, for example, or in this case dispatch work. I had supposedly gotten over it, I mean there is no cafe or proper shop and no proper systems, so how or who else can do it right? (I will definitely set up my logistics when the shop is open) But there is this particular customer who had ordered a relatively low sales value of products but I need to not only get her cakes delivered to 2 different places within the same morning, but also need to get balloons for her. Yeah, although I am charging her, but I did not charge ridiculously high price, me being considerate. So it gets me into frustration mode when the customer start adding tasks for me and makes it looks like it's just "by the way". Grrr... I feel like a servant.
When I can stop myself from feeling like so, I will be okay. Otherwise, since I am my own boss, perhaps it is time I say no to these extra requests, pay me or not. I hate saying this but I think that is the perk of being a boss! And after all, I didn't quit my annoying job to be annoyed again!!
