I should start wearing my hoodie under my jacket.

Openning went good. It’s actually kind of easy. I’m very familiar with bakery, so putting things on display isn’t a problem. Now, if only I didn’t have to wake up at a time when I’m normally falling asleep. I used my meditation technique again last night and was able to fall asleep pretty fast, got just under six hours of sleep.

Steve (the GM) said that me openning would NOT be a regular thing, but it would nice to have somebody else who knows how to open, in the event Melissa or Jenny can’t open.

I was looking at the schedule for next week, and I noticed that the only people with more hours than me are the managers. *blinks* SCORE. *laughs* It’s still five days a week, and I’m doing over forty hours. Works for me! ..Nevermind that I’ll be doing six this week. I should take advantage of the fact that I have the next two Fridays off. I guess that’s their gift to me? It’s also kind of amusing to me how I’ve gone from a closer to an openner. I swear, most people don’t know how to close bakery. It’s not that hard, people are just lazy.

So Jenny was telling me how she hates needles, yet has piercings and tattoos. I said to her,

“My skin’s pretty clean. Well, except for the circumcision.”

Hey, it’s supposed to be funny. Laugh!

Jenny shared that she believes it’s our bodies, and should be our decision. Moreover, she believes such violence unto an infant is the cause of a lot of the problems in males today. Okay, she used different words, but that’s the jist of words. So nice when you don’t have to explain yourself, no?

I said that it could be a cause of some psychological damage in me, but I have other explanations as well.

She gave me this hilarious look when I told her that I’ve never been grounded. I explained that I’ve always felt the need to please my parents, and I’m only now getting over it. I remember discussing with her how I was the smart one, and a lot was expected of me. She said she’s the dumb one, and a lot of pressure is on her little sister.

*yawns* Only three, and I’ve already put in my nine hours.

I like working mornings. It’s much more relaxed. At one point, Angie, Jenny, and I were sitting at a table eating. That didn’t even count as a break. You can’t do that in the evening. Evening, you have to constantly find something to do. OH. ANGIE’S BACK! She’s been out sick the past two weeks. She claims she has a reputation of being a bitch, but whatever, she’s my favorite manager.

*yawns again*

I swiped a cobblestone last night. I’ve been sampling every pastry in an effort to better tell customers which items suck the least. I must say, that cobblestone was good. I wasn’t expecting an apple-filling in the middle. Far better than a lot of the other things. Haven’t tried the chocolate croissant, mostly because I’m not a chocolate person.

I was talking to my Cliff about Panera last night. He said that when Erik worked there, he ended up working a lot. And made a lot of money. Um. I hope any new hires we get are actually competent. Timmy = competent. Eh, whatever. I’ll end up doing everything, anyway. At least, that’s how it feels. If you can’t get something done right, do it yourself.

Ah, I was talking to Angie and Jenny about how horrible eyesight. I believe Angie suggested laser surgery. Uhh. My eyes aren’t that bad. But personally, why bother? Glasses work. I’d get contacts, but I hate having shit in my eyes. Angie called me a simple person, which isn’t a bad thing. Plus, glasses work for me. Meditating on this, I realized that if I could have perfect vision, I’d miss having bad vision. Sounds silly no? But consider that this is the way I am. I know the beauty of taking off my glasses and admiring christmas tree lights. Why would a pay over a thousand dollars to take that away from myself?

Have I mentioned that I work with all girls in the morning? Girls, women, same thing. Ya`all dames to me. I jest. There are hispanics guys like Rolando and Nelson who prep in the morning, but um, that doesn’t really count. Socializing with all-females, what more could I ask for? Okay, along the closers, I like Adam and Brandon. But otherwise…

I digress.

I’m going to go acquire material possessions for personal gratification.
