My feet/legs/every part of my lower appendages hurts.

I worked about six hours this morning.


At least I had a bowl of oatmeal and a donut and half of a whoopie pie and a latte to get me through about half of it! :D And then I had the dreaded caffeine crash and have yet to return. :( BUT I did learn a fair amount of things today which we shall discuss...... NOW! :P


Thing #1: Sundays are so chaotic. I swear we had like the whole restaurant full at one point, and we kept running out of mugs. O.o And we also had all three managers working. So yeah..... Chaos. And it probably didn't help that it was mother's day..... (PS: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOMS OF THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!! And my mommy. :)


Thing #2: I SUCK at multitasking. I simply have not mastered making four pots of coffee, keeping the condiment station well organized and supplied, the fridge in between registers full, and taking fifty thousand orders all at once. <= lots of exaggeration was used in that sentence. I also suck at getting people their sweets when they are at the register. And repeating their orders back. And I still keep pressing the wrong buttons..... Point is, still LOTS to learn.


Thing #3: there are a shocking amount of people who cannot pronounce the words Arugula, Anaheim, edemame, and muffaletta. Google chrome included. O_O Say it with me people: Uh-ROO-guh-luh. Anna-HI-mmm. Ed-uh-MOM-E. MOO-fu-LET-uh. Got it? Okay. ;)


Thing #4: I am the only one who can make a good sticky bowl of oatmeal. That I kinda learned the hard way.... At least I had the donut, the other bowl of oatmeal, the half of a whoopie pie and the latte! :D There should be a national latte day. where everyone who drinks coffee celebrates the miracle of the latte. Ah, lattes. :) Wait, this is a blog about WORK. NOT ESPRESSO BEVERAGES. Although I love to talk about them. :D


Thing #5: I need inserts for my work shoes. My feet are always killing me by about two thirds of the way through my shift. :( And I need to take my break later and not right when I get there...


All learning lessons aside, I like my job. It's hard, but it's fun. Not that I want to be a cashier for the rest of my life, but it's a good start. :) And I have awesome co-workers. And I have learned that the more languages I speak the better! :P Seriously tho, more languages, the better.


Well, I think I am going to go make me another sticky bowl of oatmeal! :D Or something else....


I only had lunch four hours ago. :P
