My eyes are going blurry

Dear Readers,

I'm wearing my glasses today.

I have been so tired lately that I finally could not physically open my eyes this morning. I didn't even bother trying to put my contact lenses on!- The weekend really killed me- having had no break what so ever (due to photoshooting) drained the life out of me!

During the past few days, there has been constant back and forth work and feedback with the web designer. It's finally getting nearer the stage of what I want the final "product" to look like. It's pretty nice at the moment (Manager approves, so it's all good good to go!) Here's a very extremely stingy preview of the look of the web:
(It looks pretty ugly in this thumb nail, but that's on purpose!)

I'm pretty glad things are finally getting places. Well done webdesigner, designers and well done me!

Today's next task was to look for additional stock to dump into the boutique. I went onto Alibaba.com to look for new potential suppliers.
After looking for about 2- 3 hrs, my eyesight is officially heading towards blindness.
Here are a few screenshots of what I have been dealing with:

The above only shows three types of products, mainly mugs. There are absolutely MILLIONS of pages to go through. This website is basically created for buyers who want to do overseas business. They obviously have an English version, but I was told the Chinese one has more stock- which I think is very stupid.

My head started spinning after forcing myself to "read" Chinese for 3 hours. (My Chinese reading IQ is probably equivalent to a 5yr old born and raised in HK/China child)

I think I'm starting to see things.... Defiantly time to get off work!
