Fasnacht Day

Yesterday flew passed in a blur. I started off my day with my first early shift at the bakery.  I had to be there by 7:30.  It's been a long time since I have had to leave my house by 7, so I was a little worried I might oversleep.  As a result, I woke myself up at 5:30, long before I actually needed to be awake.  

I made it work ten minutes early.  

My shift was four hours long.  Considering that it was Fasnacht Day, we sold mostly fasnachts and wow, did we sell them.  I'm pretty sure we served over 400 customers in the four hours I was there.  One woman I helped was picking up a previously placed order of 17 DOZEN fasnachts.  

Overall, I did pretty well.  I'm technically still in training, but Thursday (Valentines Day!) will be my first day completely on my own.  My worst mistake was almost giving a woman incorrect change.  She needed $0.45 change.  I pulled out two dimes and a nickel.  In my mind, the currency was British pounds and the dimes were 20p coins!  Had we been using the currency I thought, my change would have been correct!  Thankfully, someone standing next to me caught it before I handed it to the woman.  

The morning was flat out insane.  By the afternoon, I was struggling to focus on my homework because I really wanted to go to sleep.  At six, I went to a friend's house to babysit her three kids until midnight.  By the time I got home, I wanted my bed so very badly!  Overall, I'm enjoying the bakery.  It is a busy job to have, but that makes time go quickly. 

In other job news, I just called about the teaching English job I mentioned.  I hadn't heard from them beyond a confirmation that they received my resume nearly two weeks ago.  As of this morning, they have not yet selected a teacher for the position.  I don't know that I have a strong change of getting the job, but at least I know it's still an option at this point.
