79 Hours

Damn you Thanksgiving. Because of all you lazy non cooking folk, who just want to pick up a cake or tart to go to you're family's house, I am working 15 hour days. The owner has been complaining that I am working too many hours and racking up too much OT but what does she expect when I'm just one person doing the job of two. Honestly I don't really want to be in the kitchen more then 10 hours a day. I would love to have a life, see my friends, shit in my own bathroom. But I don't because there's a lot of shit to do. And if she wants all of the products out then someone is going to have to make it. Fuck, cakes don't make themselves! Everything in the display case doesn't magically appear there. I don't have elves in the kitchen who bake the croissants for me at night. So to alleviate my huge OT bill the owner decided to help me in the kitchen. She has the whole day free but instead of helping me she comes in for an hour or two, does half of one or two things, and then leaves to go hang out leaving behind a trail of dirty dishes to be picked up after. That doesn't help me when my to do list is 15 tasks deep which doesn't include putting out all the items in the display case. It also doesn't help when she comes in the next day wondering why I worked so late the night before. Hopefully she makes money during Thanksgiving because she's been paying me late which pisses me off. I know she hasn't been selling a lot of product because of these hard economical times but fuck I'm not working for free.
