Feeding My Passion

About being cranky on the front desk and snapping at someone: it’s so tempting to let loose or even just give what you’re getting from a guest/client/customer, but someone will spread bad news or pass along a bad experience so fast, no matter how much they were responsible for it, that it can ruin you very quickly.

While it may not seem like a coincidence after such a crazy-ass weekend at the front desk and then working 3 days in a row of the front desk and baking thing, which is exhausting, mostly because it completely screws up my sleep schedule and I start getting a wee bit cranky at the front desk (never a good thing), I gave my 2-week notice early Sunday morning before I went home after baking. Sorry, that was a long sentence, but I don’t think it was a run-on.

I’ve certainly worked more hours before, but never hours that messed up my sleep schedule as much as my current schedule does.

Front desk/Baking

• Monday: Off
• Tuesday: Off
• Wednesday: 2-10p
• Thursday: Noon-8p/9-1a
• Friday: 2-10p/10p-3a
• Saturday: 2-10p/10p-3a
• Sunday: 12-8p

I can say that the human being is a remarkably resilient organism and at the same time, the fastest way to go insane is be chronically and severely sleep deprived. I’m looking forward to working a semi-normal schedule (which in food service is approximately 11a-10p, Wednesday-Sunday) when I start my new job.

I’m dozing off at the computer as I write this. Time for bed.
