My Days In Jewellery Business (Part 3: February, the best month of all)




February is not only the shortest month, but also the month with most events. This year, we have Chinese New Year and Valentines Day in our February. Sure enough it is a month where business will be picking up. As for an employee like me, I enjoyed what every worker is waiting for, ang pow (bonus) from our taukeh. Not only that, as sales were going on well, our commission increased as well. I finally understood why every businessman will be so happy when CNY is around the corner...everyone will be in a spending frenzy. However, the continuous pouring in of customers means we'll have to work like bees. For the whole week before CNY, we rarely had time for lunch or dinner breaks, we ate take-aways for one whole week. Fortunately, our boss was kind enough to sponsor our meals. February is sure the month with the most income and the least spending. Everyone was happy. Sadly, it didn't last for long,.....just 28 days.
