My work at the coffeehouse has really taken a turn for the better. My hours have changed, and so have my duties.
On the days I don't work at the group home, I go to the restaurant at 3 AM and work until about 7:30. I work alone for most of the morning, which means I get to cook, bake, and blast music. Not too terrible, eh?
Every day, I bake three kinds of muffins, two varieties of scones, cinnamon twists, caramel rolls, and whatever cookie I feel like. Yesterday, I made ginormous peanut butter cookies, and today I made snickerdoodles. A few times a week, I make chocolate chip, molasses and oatmeal-raisin cookies. I bake bread almost every day.
I also make soups, Rice Krispies Bars, pies and cakes. If we need them, I make pasta salad, potato salad, and other assorted items. If someone comes in wanting breakfast, I cook things to order. It's busy, but it's also the fastest four hours of my day.
Honestly, I wake up in the mood to get to work. I'm actually excited about this job at 2:30 in the AM.
Man, if I could get this place to give me full-time hours at the pay rate I get at the group home, I would do this job for 20 years.
I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a job as much as I do this one.
