Just sharing my personal feel on "BLACK FACE",
recently I've been showing them too...
not on purpose, just very very tired...
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize.
How to show a smiley face whole day long when;
1. I've requested everyone to call me b4 coming for collection,
most still prefer to sms...
Every sms out cost me 5 cents and most can't confirm the collection with less than 3 smses...
e.g.;
mummy 1 : Leng, can I come later?
me : Pls come at 10pm
mummy 1 : 9pm can?
me : No, I'm not back yet, sorry.
mummy 1 : 9.30pm can? 10pm is too late
I called her,... no pick-up... ... ...
2. My collection timing at my home is fixed,
still many asked if I'll be home at 10am, 4 am, etc. etc...
I AM WORKING & it's not my own company, not my father's either.
3. When someone called me at 11.30PM to ask if I'll be at home at 10am the next working day.
4. When someone smsed me at 7.30am on a sunday morning, to check if she can come for collection at 11.30am
5. When someone smsed me at 3AM on sunday night,
to "inform" me she's coming at 10am for collection
Please be fair to spree organisers,
we need to sleep too, we have our families to look after too...
Many asked, why they see less of me at overseas spree thread,
many asked how come I'm not as active as before.
I told them, the forum was a nice place last time,
mummies then were not as demanding, they are more patient,
AND THEY DO NOT SHORT-CHANGE ME!
You know who you are, (& YES, oppsgal, you are one of the nice ones, thank you!), THANK YOU TO YOU!
For those mummies here who had been participating in the overseas sprees thread for more than 1 year,
or more than 3 years,
do you realize or have you seen... lots of nice organisers are either cutting down on sprees or had given up hope.
This gave chance for the so-called "Bad Spree Organiser" to start sprees that you need,
and to prey on you...
It's time to have some self-reflection.
Just my 2 cents,
good luck to all.
