Seasoned or Waffle fries?

It has been an eventful past few days.

I have had the privilege of helping open a brand new Backyard Burger store. This included a few weeks of in-store training at an already open location and then three days of intensive corporate training at our actual location. We opened our doors on Monday and, I won't lie, it was stressful. Tensions were really running high between corporate trainers being there still making sure that we didn't screw up, the owner making sure everything was done up to his standards, and just the other craziness that accompanies the opening of a new store.

I put in a nine hour shift that day and no matter how rewarding it was to be on the ground floor of this operation - my feet still killed. Tomorrow I am going in for a short (seven hour) shift starting at eight - so I'd better get to bed. The food industry is demanding.

shoes are very important when working on your feet. I'd invest in some nice runners, and soft thicker socks, so you have a soft bed for your feet to lie on while you stand on them all day. it may help. you never know.

And i hope tomorrow's a better day for ya!

Here's a hug for you~

Watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Double Meat Palace (episode 12 of season 6) for a glimpse of your future. Or you could just cheat and read about it here (I would recommend not cheating).

I don't want to fight off a creepy demon head growth!

but there are weird things about this building. All of the coins in our drawers stack perfectly without touching them. Things get moved during the night when no one is there. You know - various creepy things like that.

Maybe I don't need Buffy and the Scoobies as much as I need Ghostbusters.
