Making a Living One Sandwich at a Time.

Drum roll please....

I GOT THE JOB! (:

That's it really.

if you want some boring details, keep reading.

Today was my first day working for the Creamery outlet! Overall...it was a typical first day. Which means it was not good. Haha but of course that's not all to the story! 

Want the bad side first or the good side? Hmm...I'll take that as the bad.

If I had one word to describe it, it would be cold. And if I had two words, it would be dang cold! My hands and feet were numb and hardly functional by the end of the 4 hours, it was that bad. Brrrrr.

Also, they didn't tell us when we got to leave...it's hard to keep working and being miserable when there is no end in sight!

Now the good side.

It is a low stress and easy job! You keep doing the same mindless task over and over for a while until it's done, then go on to the next project. Example: we made fruit skewers as one of our tasks. You just stab fruit. Cantaloupe, pineapple, honeydew, done. Cantaloupe, pineapple...you get the idea. Do that 200 times and ta-dah! People at the MTC now have a little snack.

Next plus side, the cold can only get better! I was crazy unprepared. I wore flimsy little TOMS, which got wet and provided no warmth and actually added to the cold. Dumb move on my part! Also I will wear gloves under the plastic ones we have to wear, and a heavier jacket.

The biggest thing I'm happy about is I don't have the 5 AM shift!!! Hallelujah. I'm so lucky! I work 8-11 on mon, tues, thurs, fri, and on-call saturdays. Having a set schedule will be so nice!

Now you have the 411. Next time you get a pre-made sandwich, just take a moment to think of and appreciate the freezing people who slave to make them. Then come give me a hug and some hand warmers.

 

Bought all my text books and got my student ID. Who's prepared? This girl.

Also got some new pants that I adore. They're fun.

That's all.
