It was better than good. It was fine! I think I'm gonna like it a whole lot. And I got a PAID 15-minute break. PAID! Guess I'd already been indocrinated into the ways of the culture at the biscuit store that I'd plumb forgotten that "real" businesses provide paid breaks except for lunch, of course, but I'm only there for six hours at a time so no need to take a lunch break.

There's a whole lot to learn. My biggest concern was that I wouldn't be able to do the computer stuff because, alas, I'm minus the technology gene. It was ein Stück Kuchen (a piece of cake...pun intended) and something even I could do. I was even introduced to an older guy there who's Polish but speaks fluent German. Don't know how long he's been in the US, but his accent was so familiar to me that I when I greeted him in German he positively beamed. Goody. Somebody to practice on!

There's just one teeny tiny hitch in the gittalong. Only three people work in the bakery department. Me, another bakery clerk and the bakery manager. The other bakery clerk is on vacation next week and won't be back because she's transferring to a different store. That means there will be two people who work in the bakery department. Wut wo. Besides wut wo, woe is me!

I'll figure it all out. It's not rocket science, but there's a lot to learn. When the bakery manager comes back next week (he's on vacation this week), I'm going to volunteer to work five days a week through the end of December rather than just the three days I said I could. That will give me time to learn the routine, the equipment, get it all down pat so that the bakery manager won't have to work seven days a week. And it will put an "extra" jingle in my jeans for Christmas. Um...when is 💰 ever "extra"?

Annnnnnd...they just got a brand new, shiny, efficient, industrial OVEN!

So. The long and the short of it is that the new job is looking good. Yay!

Glad to hear the new job went well!:)
Five days sounds like a lot to me, though. You might want to consider offering 1 extra day for 4 days a week, and see how things go there.

Good for you! I understand the frustrations of not being able to find something that you know you have.....somewhere!I

That recipe sounds interesting. I'm not sure if I would like it, but it intrigues me! So, maybe l would like it.

I'm trying to learn how to "let go" also. So far with minimal success. 😢. But, one thing at a time, I am making at least some headway. I grew up with the idea that you can't throw something away, because you may need it one day. I am a 3rd generation "saver". This is a challenge for me, and it is very, very hard. I wish you luck! 🍀

Trila......i grew up with the same teachings.
But.....a good part of this venture is donating and giving away.....so, the stuff will still get used somewhere by someone.

Nothing. It's raining and cold , so I'm not going out.., and yesterday I was on the go all day from 8am... 2 meetings.. shopping, driving here and there, so now unlike even 5 years ago... I find if I have an active day , I have to just relax the next day...so that's what I'm doing.

The new rug I ordered last week arrived,and of course where it's been rolled up, the edges need flattened down, so I've rolled it out in the livingroom, (even though it's for the bedroom).. and put 2 heavy footstools on either end to flatten it..

Got a 3rd Christmas card in the mail today.. ..so that makes 7 in total.. including 4 electronic ones.. a lot different to the dozens we used to get before I retired and before the onset of Electronic cards , so I'm grateful for the people who take the time to choose a card and pay to send it to me.. :D

On my early morning walk at 7,it was 34 outside with a slight breeze
This morning, Mary&I are going on our weekly 'road trip' to local grocery store,Tops. I haven't been there in 3 weeks I usually go every Fri with friend/resident Thora{she lives a floor above me}she's been going to dr's appts.
The rest of my day take another walk before the rain comes, mail couple more Xmas cards, read NYT ,my book
 
Going to take a sim card back to Target for credit...it was too big for my little camera, just kept formatting and formatting and formatting...like watching a beach ball go round and round and round.

May go to a pet kennel/boarder to look at a rescue dog. We were dining al fresco last evening and met a great lady who introduced me to her huge rottweiler and her friend who owns this kennel and showed us pictures of this very nice dog that needs a good home. Don't know if hub will go for it though...lol. What can I say, its a small town we live in...lol.
 
We did go out on the lake yesterday, but just for a ride. I hadn't gotten around to doing any worm hunting, so no fishing this time. Dio's (🐐) friend met us at the launch with his boat, and we drove around together for awhile. While we were out, we stopped at on of the isolated creek beds and got a bucket full of the most awesome top soil!!! Next spring, I will be ready to start my flower seeds indoors!!

When we came home, I brought my Christmas tree and ornaments in from storage (in the barn). It was almost 80° yesterday, and will be close to the same today.....hard to get into the Christmas spirit!!! I know that the cold weather is coming, but for now....I'm still wearing shorts and a tank top!!! LOL

Today we will go for a walk in the park, then head over to Wal-Mart. We never do much on the day before skating.
 
I am having a CT scan this afternoon. My daughter and I are going to discuss what to bake for Christmas. More housework, laundry, and reading. Oh, and we have to pick up my car which has been in the shop for routine maintenance. Wait a minute! I just realized we don't have a car to get me to the CT scan! We didn't pick it up last night because it was dark, rainy, and very windy, and I didn't want any of my friends to have to drive in those conditions. I'd better figure out how to solve that problem!

I saw the dentist last week, so relived that I didn’t lose any more teeth. I feel like I am running out of them

I recently managed to get to a dentist appointment, too, which was way overdue for me. I got a hole in a front tooth fixed. Whew! I didn't want it to continue becoming larger, which is what it has been doing! (the hole, not the tooth! :ROFLMAO: )

I too, was glad he didn't find other terrible things, just a couple things that should be done, at some point, when I can manage. Going out for any reason is a major challenge and difficulty for me. So that appointment was a big accomplishment.

I'm gonna rearrange the livingroom so I can set up the Christmas tree in front of the big window. The TV, shelves, and movie cabinet will go where these 2 chairs are, and the tree will go where that stuff was. Just gotta figure out where to put the 2 chairs and I really only have one option. Plus, there's a large painting and a shelf full of pottery on the wall where the chairs are, and they'd have to go.

So, what I might be doing today is talking Michelle into having the tree in front of the sliding glass door, where only drive-by's will see it.
(it's the back door, but it's in the livingroom)
