The Merry Chef

I always think of ideas to write in blogs whilst at work, because I clearly have nothing better to think about, but I really should write them down because when it comes to this part, the typing up of it, the plans disapparate like a wizard... Still, there is one part of it I remember and that is the new oven... Oh come on! I can't help being boring!

Yeah, there is a new oven and yeah it does mean more work and yet another re-vamp to how we do things just as I was getting used to the old new regime ... but I suppose it keeps us on our toes. Tonight was all good because I was working one of my 2 nights with a competent person but when it comes to hitting The Wall, things will be a host more different. This new oven takes up a ridiculous amount of room and has a mind of it's own and won't stop bleeping or beeping or wailing just because I need to cook a few muffins. Seriously, who on God's Green Earth would want a Bacon and Bean Muffin? How nasty does that sound... I would rather eat a Discharge and Snot Wrap.. Ok, I wouldnt..

That is the one part of my job I dislike. The bakery part. It means baking and cooking and using tongs and I don't see myself as a Gordon Ramsey even if I don't have to make things from scratch and I only have to press a few buttons. At 5am, when you're very tired from the 7 preceding hours, I have 4 things on the go at once plus a large number of grumpy customers who are just about to start their days... Obviously, The Wall is off galivanting around the store doing nothing, avoiding mopping, blaming his bad back... Don't get me started.. Still, it's tough and tiring. Does make me fitter though.

5 down, 4 to go... Please Monday morning. Please come now. Please.
