Last night I was cursing the bakery for scheduling me late on
a Friday night. I had to see a passed out twenty-year old puke thrice in a row
on the 2:45am 7 train.
Today I stayed two hours extra at work because I
couldn't bare to leave. The crowded, chaotic closet space that smells
like chocolate cake on the first day of Winter Break; man-handling hundreds of
cupcakes that will all be sold within the hour; swirling, twirling and plopping
icing in colorful mounds and (patiently) bearing through customers' requests
that question your kindness abilities- ALL OF IT!!!
My job as a trainer here
left me excited and fulfilled. Days of complaining hold no candle
to my free treat payments and letters like this:
My trainee: Melissa! Tell me when you leave so I can say
goodbye!
(6 o'clock rolls around and I'm finally outie. He appears with a box
of Godiva chocolates and a Jeff Leedy card that reads: You're Leaving? Sh*t.)
I'm going to miss you
Malissa,
Thank you for training
me in the ways of
the bakery and for being
a good friend.
I wish we could of spent
more time together
but it seems I won’t see
you for a while.
Congrats on going to
bigger and better things.
Your Buddy, Nick
Bittersweet!
Bittersweet Chocolate cupcake and bittersweet moments
happening.. ONE WEEK LEFT till this journey begins!!
