This week, I only worked on Monday due to the fact that I worked the Friday before. Even though there was only one day, there was no shortage of work to be done. Again, we pushed the product drops back and still didn't really complete any of those. My day mostly consisted of packing boxes to be shipped out that had been ordered over the weekend. The Sunday Telegraph ran a tiny ad for our chocolates to purchase them for Mothering Sunday, and from Sunday morning to Monday morning we received upwards of twenty orders and that took up the majority of my day. Packing the boxes itself is extremely time consuming, because you have to make sure that the chocolates don't shake around in the shipping box. Along with that, I have to print off messages and addresses and make sure everything matches up before I can take them all to the post office.
I was originally going to make a "save-the-date" invitation for our blogger event following Easter, but that didn't end up happening. With all the packing and things to finish before the day was over, I still ended up getting home an hour and a half later than I should have. I finished my day off by stopping by the Guardian to drop off some of our Easter products for a taste test. That was next to King's Cross - during rush hour - which was not the best ending to the day. I hope the food writer receiving the chocolates appreciated my efforts….
