Hiya guys! I personally want to thank you for all of your kind responses, and personal conversations with me-it never goes unappreciated.
Okay, today was my first day back to work normally. I've got my uniform for McDonalds and I went to work today. :) For my first REAL official day I worked 7hours. I got a call this morning saying I was late to work at 7:30Am, I was scheduled to work from 9-4PM, so naturally I was a little freaked out. I was paranoid that I had miswrote the correct time. So I told her I was scheduled from 9-4PM, I told her I would be there on time. So I go there, and I find out someone made a mistake, so I was releived. I got situated back into a computer orientation, AGAIN! So I was REALLY, REALLY bummed I'd be stuck in one of those tin, uncomfortable chairs again. Well, careful what you wish for. They needed some more helpers out on the floor, so the Crew Trainer nabbed me, and I got hands on experience. I was the fry cook which is unusually stressful for about 2 hours, and then I went on a tiny break. I went back to work and someone had taken my spot, another new person named Meghan. I really like this girl, I could tell it was her first day too. I knew she was having a really tough time getting adjusted, so I was helping her out. (Little did I know this would gain me some brownie points with the bosses!) I got my name tag slapped onto me later on that day, and went and loaded the fry dispenser which was pretty booooooring. So when I got done with that I had to be placed somewhere to do work. I got the station next to Meghan who was still doing fries, I now was made deep fryer cook. I made McChickens, Crispy Chickens, Nuggets, and Chicken Selects. This was a little more complicated, however it kept me pretty busy all day. I was helping out Meghan who got occassionally overwhelmed. I watched the orientation films pretty closely, and my crew trainer did something he wasn't supposed to, he combined nuggets from another tray to a different. (He was cutting corners) I said: "I thought we weren't supposed to do that" Little did I know my new boss was standing right next to me, and he heard. I accidently got the Crew Trainer in trouble. However I do know that it can cause cross contamination. So my crew trainer left in a few hours, so I was under the jurisdiction of Pien my Manager which was pretty cool. She's an asian lady who's mild mannered and somewhat resembles most of the stereotypes of chinese ladies. I loved her accent, it was quite funny at times. She's an energentic woman who likes to play jokes, however I'm such a stiffler that I forget to laugh...Anyway when Meghan was getting off she complimented me to Pien that I was helping her, and Pien and the assistant Manager Bruce came over and thanked me personally. :) It made me feel really good, I was doing my fair share of responsibilities and more. I'm somewhat showing off, I want to give some of these lazy teen managers a run for their money. I've gotten promotions, raises, and bonus' before, I'm not going to let a group of drama queens outshine me- NO WAY! Anyway, I was really bummed that I got the Crew Trainer (Josh) in trouble, also he was kinda cute.
So now I am really bummed I work at McDonalds. I plan my life out accordingly, however it never seems to go the correct path. As my mom says: "You can plan your life out all you want honey, but god's going to send you down the path he wants, while laughing at your atempt to plan destiny."
