Second day...

Well, yesterday was my second day of work. I was all alone in the bakery for three hours on my second day! Talk about overwhelming. We have to hand out cookies to kids with parents that stop by the bakery, so that kept on interupting my work. And then I had to write "Happy Birthday Insert Name Here" on, like three cakes. That was pretty nerve-racking in itself, mainly because I'm hypoglycemic, and borderline aniemic, so my hands shake real bad. I did ok, until some girl wanted me to write "Happy Birthday Gigi" on an ice cream cake, with skinny lettering. It came out, but i was concentrating oh-so hard.

There was so much stuff to package, and put out. So much to do, and so little time, apparently is a phrase alot of people use there :). I was an hour and 15 min late getting off work, and some tears were shed on my part. But, I know I'll get the hang of it eventually.

The first day....

So, I had my first day at Safeway today. I came home, my feet hurt and my legs hurt. Although, I do smell like cinnamon and frosting :). I worked 8 hrs today, mostly packaging, and putting out pastries and what not. It was a little overwhelming, especially when they told me that I'm going to be in the bakery by myself on my second day of work. So, tomorrow, I'll be there, all on my lonesome. My worst fear is that someone will ask me a question that I won't know, and there will be no one around to ask me. Anyway, I guess we'll see what happens.

Safeway....

In other news, for those of you who don't know, I recently got a job at the Safeway in Dallas. I am now a Bakery Sales Clerk. I have two more training classes to go, and then I'll be all set. Now all I need to get together is my uniform. I have to wear a tie. I'm a girl, I'm not supposed to wear a tie. Oh well, maybe it'll be fun. But hey, what would be better than spending all day with donuts, cake, pies, bagels, and assortments of breads? :)

Phantom and Darby getting along...

Lol, Darby's the only one that will play with Phantom, Cali just hisses at him. We think she's jealous, because she's my cat too, but he gets to sleep in my room with me :). Basically, he's getting most of my attention. She's just too cranky most of the time. And, he'll sleep with me right through the night. Most of the time it's on my head :).

These next two were taken right after Phantom polished off some chicken. Chicken was the very first thing he ever ate, aside from his mother's milk. That boy loves his chicken.

My cat is so freakin' cute!!!

I don't want it to go to his head though... :)

Intuition...

So, some people might dis-agree (those would be the people who think they know me), but in some ways I'm really intuitive. My fear of confrontation stems partially from this. When I'm talking to a person, from their body language, facial expression, tone of voice, and just any little thing they do, I can usually tell the kind of mood that they're in. So, I'll sense that whatever it was I just said really pissed them off. I hate it when people are mad at me, and so then I'll get this real anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach and it won't go away.

I guess in other words, I can read people pretty well. The unfortunate side of this, is that sometimes I tend to take it a bit out of proportion. Like, I'll sense a feeling from someone and manifest it into this huge thing, when in reality, they couldv'e been irritated with something else.

I dunno, I guess what I'm saying, is that it's so hard sometimes to talk yourself out of an idea thats giving you alot of anxiety. I wish I could just snap my fingers and I would be calm, relaxed, and not worrying about something that isn't even really there.
