A day in the life (Good and Bad or even worse)

Everything went well for the flea market at Amcorp Mall. Woke up early, bring all the stuff there and set-up everything within half an hour. Was pretty excited about it. It's my first day of business. The first customer, unfortunately was the worst one throughout the day. Still wanted to haggle for a few dirt cheap novels (not mine actually, my aunt just wanted to put her stuff there to sell). And reason for her to haggle... The book was not popular. At first she wanted to buy 8 books.. which cost about 40bucks. But then, she wanted to buy it all for 2oplus. It's hard for me to reduce the price since it was not my stuff. She went off... a few minutes later.. She was back, and took two of the books. Still she haggled for the price. Hmpphh.... at last i sold those two for 7bucks. Well, that was my '1st difficult customer'

The second one, was a cool Indian guy. And his choice of products, U2 by U2 Hard Cover. To be frank, the cost for that book was only 18bucks. And i sold it for 70bucks. Pretty good start. Damn happy cause the customer didn't cost me any trouble. But 1 thing bad is.. i forgot to take off the price tag. Argghhh......

The day went off pretty ok i guess, manage to get sales about RM170 for Little Trees products alone. I think i need to get it online pretty soon.

I packed all my stuff pretty early. Coz i wanted to go to the warehouse sales to get more U2 by U2 books. And i got it for about 10bucks each. How fucking cool was that. Now, i need to sell it or at least put it all online.

The bad part..... and trust me. It's really make my day go downward spiral.
Iced IM me. He told me that boss asked me to pay the 1K to him. At first i thought it was still ok, since i did a few pages of layouts for him. At least i can get some extra cash. And after i finished with that few pages of design about a week ago, WaiKit (the writer for NTUC) said to him that he's engaging another graphic designer to finish the remaining of the stuff. I said ok. IT was fine with me. But they (both WKit and boss never FUCKING ever mentioned to me that all the layouts had been rejected. At least they can tell me to redo or tell it to my face.

Totally unprepared for those BULLSHITS. I can accept that the layouts had been rejected. But PLEASE have the courtesy to tell me. Now i was left with nothing and i wasted my time finishing the that few pages coz they needed it urgently. Even though i sacrificed my time for them... they did not even have the guts to tell me or at least give me a chance to redo. Damn it..

Now, i burdened with the new streamyx, jobless, the Little Tree projects which is just started, and the payment for the iMac (another 1K to pay). Really feels shitty right now. Gotta save myself now. Or else.....

MUST AT LEAST GET A JOB NOW. At this moment, i can't wait. Don't worry.. My day will be here SOON.
