Ever have one of those times when absolutely NOTHING would go right? I had to go down to Eugene to do an "event" for my catering business... It was actually a favor for my sister. In the last four days I have:
1.)Driven ninety miles looking for a coffee supplier that's only 16 miles from my house.
2.)Paid $26 for two lbs. of coffee beans because said supplier was closed when I finally found it, and I had to buy the coffee retail.
3.)Driven 150 miles to cater an event where only five people showed up.
4.)Developed tendonitis in my left ankle from driving my husband's (five-speed) car to and from said event (Ow!)
5.)BROKE my espresso machine.
6.)Found out that espresso machine can only be fixed with a part that comes from Italy.
7.)Wasted 6 1/2 hours sitting at an event where only five people showed up. The organizers went away and left ME to deal with their clients!?!
8.)Got a tankful of gas that was EASILY 15 cents per gallon more expensive than ANYWHERE else in town (didn't look at the sign before I said "Fill 'er up!")
9.)HAVE NOT yet been, and probably won't be, paid for catering event.
This past week has been a lesson in how NOT to be a successful entrepreneur! Moral of story: Doing favors for family members is probably NOT sound business practice.
Rejoice, its the week-end!
