So many many pizzas to cut!!!
So todayI worked from 12-9, it was definitely a pretty long shift. THe one
thing that kinda stinks about CiCi's is that apparently no one "really"
takes their breaks. I mean, sure, I can take mine if I want, but no
one else goes for fifteen minutes and chills. SO I was getting pretty
drained today.
This stinks opposed to what I heard about Dairy
Queen, where they prett much required you to take your break, and be
sure you were off for fifteen minutes. O well, I suppose.
Things
got pretty hay wire today, so many pizzas, garlics, sauces, special
orders, massive take outs, all of which I pretty much single handedly
are cutting putting in boxes, or putting on plates, and handing to
either people for the buffet or to bring the plates to those of special
orders. I'll be honest and say that I was getting pretty stressed, I
think for a handful of reasons:
One, I feel like I still need to
prove myself to my fellow co workers, and my boss especially. Two,
there are still special order abbreviations that I have trouble with,
which in turn slows me down. On top of that, a lot of the time as
pizzas are flying out of the oven, I miss specials, and a couple times
some pizzas got by me, then I realized that they needed to be special
orders. SO that sucked.
But above all else, I'd say the MOST
frustrating thing was CUTTING ITSELF. Why? Because I CAN NOT
CONSISTENTLY CUT A GOOD PIZZA, BY PROPORTION, AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
Twice I had one of the bosses say "don't be afraid to push to hard."
And I'm thinking " I am pushing hard, dang it!" Ugh, no I wasn't that mad, and to be honest, I'm starting to get it.
I guess in time I'll master the crust penetration.
So I'm sure this was boring, but this is my life at work, in case you were interested ;)

I know how you feel... The normal shift for me at work is 8 hours and I never take a break... Yesterday I worked a short double-12 hrs- but I took a fifteen minute break for dinner.
