Ch.2 Pg. 44-45

It's Valentine's Day.. I was shitty for a second but mostly I'm tired and sore. Yesterday was an insanely long day and I chose to go to bed than update the blog.

I worked til 3:30.. ran to Elkhart to get T and get him home then I had therapy. I was a bit detached and agreed to dinner with Linds. Well... I also dropped off what T left in my car so I didn't even get home til 8:40. I showered and crashed. 

Yesterday was my official 90 days .. 

I was talking with my lunch cook and my pizza cook joined us. We rearranged tomorrows lunch and I said "I support that, it sounds good". My Pizza cook (I'm leaving out names) stopped what she was going, turned to me and said "I like hearing that so much!!" I said hearing what?? She said " That you support us! You're not calling us stupid or yelling at us. You support us. I've been through 5 managers 5! You are by far the best and I am so glad you're here!" My cook looked at me and said "Me too!!" It was legit such a wonderful feeling, it's a damn hard job, like the work is insane and I'm sore and exhausted after today but it was so wonderful!! 

we also had the opportunity to have a learning lesson. I had one of my cooks start baking the 65 cups we needed. When I took them out I had no idea what happened. So I made the next batch, following the directions on the package. 

We have a combi oven which is basically always on convection settings. They were baked on the standard oven settings 350 not 300 with full fans

I moved the fans down to two. So we talked and then at the end of the day I pulled my cooks for a 5 min lesson. Not one knew you could lower the oven fans and they didn't realize they should be in convection settings. I totally don't understand how anyone in a manager role can not do their job. They were appreciative and surprised, as was I. 

For dinner I met Linds at this Chinese place in Granger. I ordered Singapore Noodles.. which listed pork and shrimp. So when it arrived I thought I saw strips of ham.. but it was in fact Spam. Now I like Spam.. scrambled in eggs or fried with eggs, but it was not my favorite in this meal. Any bite with spam simply tasted like spam so I chose strategic bites lol. I ate it all but I did leave a tiny pile of too much Spam on the plate lol. 

I was glad the day end... 

i was up at 4:20am, for my coffee and set out to make 68dz cookies. I hate our sugar cookies. No matter how they are baked they are horribly flat and they frustrate me as much as much stupid freezer. They were done and baked. I was boxing them up when. My boss decided someone else could. J trained me kinda, then had a situation and has been at an elementary school for basically two months. I had initially thought she was one of my bosses but after today I think I am more her boss and that is odd AF. 

I then had to dela with the freezer, 2 hrs easily and I moved everything at least twice. I am stupid sore. That damn freezer is jam packed and I'm so annoyed about it. 

It's what it is. I came home and relaxed a few min and had to get gas, get T home and go to Linds for dinner. She made pulled pork and corn casserole.

She used the most amazing casserole dish and it was her grandmother's and it's freaking so cool!the pulled pork was delicious and so was the corn casserole. It was so tasty!!

I didn't stay long and didn't get there til freaking 6. T ran late and well he needed to stop and get bday crap for his GF and well I'd told myself I was getting myself flowers and so I did. 

They are too pretty! I'm laying on a heating pad. I'm stupid tired but I'm ok. No.. I'm better than ok 🥰.
