Five Hours

There is always a weird vibe around work. I can’t really put my finger on it, but I just never feel like I really fit in. I definitely do my job to the best of my abilities, but I feel likepeople are reluctant to let me take a little more charge. Sometimes I can’t blame them because I know I’m a bit absent minded, but I wish they would believe in me a little more. I don’t know, maybe I’m not as good at my job as others, I don’t really know. If I’m not I’m pretty sorry about that. I just don’t feel like an equal a lot of the time. I have good days and I have bad days.

It’s been weird doing five hour shifts. One of my fellow coworkers asked me to cover for her. I guess someone had their doubts that i could do her job so they had someone extra there just in case. That kind of thing make me feel really weird, but it’s really rare for me to complain. Marco is prety easy to work with and I enjoy his company well enough. I think the pros might outweigh the cons in this case actually. I’m glad I have a few people I feel like I get along with at work. Though, I don’t think I want to be stuck on five hour shifts any time soon. Four hour shifts are just enough for me right now I’m sure.

We were pretty great at keeping up with everything today. We had full stocks of cinnastix, cinna sweeties, center of the roll, cinnamon rolls, and other stuff. The only thing that went wrong today was that we ran out of the raspberry lemonade mixture, but thankfully we had extra in the fridge. I feel like things have been going smoother since we got the new management. I personally had no trouble with the old one, but it’s been nice the past few weeks since we switched. The manager also handles things at Coldstone, so we have all known him for a while since we all do stuff side by side.

Speaking of Coldstone, they have all of my favorite flavors currently! Mint, mango sorbet, marshmallow, and banana! I got the marshmallow one with chocolate shavings yesterday! It was fabulous!

I actually bought some cinnasweeties yesterday as a snack. I usually try to stay away from buying things from work because they are so unhealthy, but I felt like this was alright this time. The cinna sweeties are actually the healthiest thing we have at Cinnabon. I do get a bit tempted to buy the more unhealthy options, but I’ve been great about that lately.

Yesterday and Thursday were pretty much normal, other than it was a bit busy and we sold more cinna sweeties than usual. Usually we have a bit of trouble selling them even though they aren’t that bad at all. Well, I guess on Thursday they didn’t sell that good. It was just today that they sold good. We made and sold a lot of things. I was so glad when my shift was over though. Thursdays shift was harder because I got stuck taking over sampling for someone. I guess that wasn’t so bad because I got to help someone, but I still hate doing it. I really don’t think that will ever change.

I am excited to go to Bear lake next week and have some fun. I feel like this is making me not enjoy being there so much right now. Usually when I have something to look forward to this happens. I just have one more four hour shift to get through. I really should get to bed because it’s around 3am, but I’m trying to put it off a little I’ll admit. I hate doing the sample shift so much. I’ll get through it somehow.  I just have to remember I’m as free as a bird after that. I decided to condense Thursday and Friday into one post because the events of both days ere pretty similar. One thing I’ve noticed about the past two days and this weird schedule is that it doesn’t help my eating habits. I’ve eaten far too much the past two days. I’m going to crack down on that tomorrow for sure. I’ll tell you more about that tomorrow.
