We did many out of the routine things today. First we went to a friend’s house for break fast and after sometimes staying and chatting, I decided it was time to go home. The couple has a 2-plus year old boy and I was saying to the little boy that he should come along with us because we were planning to go to Jusco. That time it was around 9:15pm. And the funny thing was the boy actually wanted to go with us, despite the fact that he never follow anyone anywhere except his family members and relatives.

So off we went to Jusco playing at the arcade till almost 10pm. Hubby said it was like a sneak preview what it would be like if we have a child of our own. Luckily the good boy wanted to go home even though he still wanted to play with the choo choo train at Jusco entrance..(I told him the mall was closing so we have to go there again next time..haha!) He was so happy and jumping up and down, chatting and babbling all kind of small kid’s talk. It was a great feeling to make a child so happy..heh!

We sent him home to his parents and even the parents were amazed that he behaved so good with us. Well, Imran, next time we go again and play your favourite choo choo train, OK!

I was doing my work downstairs when the Las Vegas series was on the channel. Since there was nothing much to watch, I spent the hour seeing the fun and crazy part of managing the casino. If I ever go to Vegas, I will take the chance to see my luck at the slots machine..haha! With other game like craps, baccarat, blackjack and poker, I still need to polish my skills.

But for now I could only be happy with what the online casino has to offer. If you are new to online casino, make sure you check onlinecasinobluebook.com for the list of the top 10 online casino choices.

These online casinos are ranked by bonus size, payout percentage, customer service, game features, number of games, software graphics, and ease of use. With the online casino bluebook help, you will be able to read about the 10 best casinos as reviewed by experienced online gamblers.

I think I will go for the online casino that offers great bonus for new player. InterCasino for example, offers new players a bonus of $100 with a first initial deposit of $100. At least if my luck is not really that good, I still have a back up money to continue surviving at the casino table..haha! Or else I can always try the no deposit casino and yet get the free no-deposit bonuses of $10 up to $100.

I finally got the cookware sets ordered by my client. This time the distributor herself sent to a nearby Mc Donalds after the delivery truck successfully sent all the stocks to her shop on Tuesday morning. Since Hubby took the car to work, I have to collect the Corningware from her at night.

I will get one for myself maybe next month. It would be nice to serve all the dishes I cook in such stylish casserole set. I prefer the Petite Pan set because it’s like a small bowl size. I think I will get myself 2 sets of the Country Rose Petite Pan set next time when I get payment from blogging…hehe!

While most women spend their money on handbags, skincare, make up and clothing, I spend mine on crafts materials and dinnerware..wink!

I have spent the whole day waiting for a delivery that never arrive. When I called the distributor, she said she can’t even track the delivery truck, and the worse part was she can’t even get hold of the person in charge at the headquarter office. She managed to call him in the morning and he said the item was already loaded into the delivery truck since Saturday and yet on Monday, nobody knows what is going on. And she did not have the number of the truck driver so she can’t track his whereabout.

This is why I hate doing business of selling retail items which I have no power to control on the delivery. Now I have to convey the problem to the client who is eagerly waiting for her items since last week..huhu!

I honestly believe that anyone trying to make business running delivery service should think of the long term effect such delivery failure does to their existing and potential clients. I have a promise to keep to my clients as well and if they continue to do late delivery or unknown truck location problem like this, I feel reluctant to buy merchandise with them again next time.

Perhaps they should invest more and use GPS tracking devices on every delivery trucks they have. You see, the hardware and web software-based vehicle tracking product such as GPS Insight does not cost that much. For $1.50-2 per day per vehicle you will have more benefits such as no more labor paid when people aren’t really working, fuel savings, routing efficiencies and happy customers.

The GPS Insight is the technical leader in the GPS tracking field. They have the only hardware which is trivial to install (plugs directly into the vehicles diagnostics port).They provide same-day-shipping and their product is the only product which gets direct engine diagnostics (fault codes, speed, fuel consumption, odometer readings, idle time, etc).

Have a look at their website. You can see how useful the tracking system for your business. For thorough explanation on how it can practically save your money and help your business grow could be found at the company’s blog – GPS Insight Blog.

With the real time map updates and 2 minute vehicle locations, you will know exactly where the delivery truck has gone to rather than for you to call the drivers and rely on them to provide their location and trip status. With the Begin/End of day reports and detailed, 2 minute updates, as a business owner you can help to identify fraudulent hours claimed by your drivers.

I also like their add-on feature in which you can show to your client the vehicle location on your website. The feature is called Customer Maps. If you are not sure how the technical part could be done, read through their GPS Insight support site as it offers support information, helpful tips, and general information about the GPS Insight product.

I hope by tomorrow I can get to hear the good news that the items are safe and sound and could be delivered to my client as promised. I really feel like strangling the driver’s neck when he comes to my place to deliver the dinnerware tomorrow..aargghh!
