Job Satisfaction.

Chateau sideboard with upstand £645.00
What an incredibly busy day I have had, but oh so productive too. Dave has fulfilled his promise to me to get a new website underway and to that end he has created something that I think is not only rather special, but also beautiful. It will be a few days or so before I can reveal it to you, but I am now busy entering information into the database as fast as I can.

Our new furniture ranges are starting to arrive with us, so I have also been adding those to the Pretty Practicals site too. I now feel a little bit data-entried out (if that makes sense) because I have been steadily adding items for hours. We have been busy with queries and orders too, so all in all, it's been a good day.

One of the exciting parts of work for me, is unpacking the new products as they arrive with us, it's like having lots of Christmasses or birthdays! As each item arrives, I unpack and check each one (rejecting any that don't meet our quality standards i.e. is it perfect and if so, would we want to receive this item?), then Dave and I repackage them ready to send out as they are ordered. Because we have a couple of deliveries almost every week, it's like having a little treat every week too. Yippee!

Another fun part of my role at work is sourcing new items. Dave and I spend time deciding what we would like to find and then I go off in search of it. I get a huge sense of satisfaction when I manage to find just the thing we have discussed and very often I make other wonderful discoveries along the way.

I feel very lucky to do work that I enjoy so much and it's a privilege to wake up each morning excited about the day ahead. I had better go and get some shut eye, or at least the next cup of tea!
