first day of work

I have the most exiting news!!! The Manager of my dream job just called this Friday morning. It's a bakery just down the road called the Sugar House Bakery. Because they called late I start on Monday morning.

Monday morning I quickly got ready and rushed down stairs to catch the subway. Smiling I ran down 34th street and down the stairwell to the underground train. I hopped through the doors and sat down. Five minutes later I was jumping off and running back up another set of stairs to my destiny.

I saw the sign of the bakery and slowed down to look professional. Through the open door I took a whiff of the amazing smell I would be smelling every day! Not hesitantly at all I walked up to the counter. "Hello, my name is Annabelle but you can call me Belle. I am here to start my first day of work." I said confidently.
"Hi my name is Holly, it's nice to meet you, but your not the girl we hired." replied Holly "OH NO Mr.hazel must phoned the wrong person !! I will be right back".

Holly came back a short while later."Mr. Hazel told me to give you a chance. Follow me. I followed Holly into the back room where 7 people in white outfits were kneading rolling and decorating. Holly then introduced me to the manager, Mr. Hazel.
"It's nice to meet you Belle." He said to me in a very nice but creepy kind of way.
"He does sound creepy but he is not at all." Holly whispered into my ear. Cautiously I followed Mr. Hazel.

He handed me a apron and told me I would be working at the counter for a few months before I could work in the back as a decorator. I was a little disappointed because I had gone to school at a culinary arts school for 3 years before I got certified. I new it would pay off in the future.

I would be working with Holly for a few weeks before I could do it by myself.
"Come with me and we will get started." she said. We got to the front counter and started out with the register. She taught me how to open and close it. I opened it one more time to make sure I knew how to do it.
"I think I got it" I told her.
"Great, just hold on a second." She said encouragingly. I wanted to show off and close it by my self. Because it was old Holly told me to shut it firm and hard so it would latch properly. I did just that.
"OUUUUCHHHHHHHH" She screamed "YOU GOT MY FINGERS!!!!!!!"
" Oh my gosh I am so sorry" I said blushing as I quickly opened it back up.

Another girl came to teach me while Holly was at the walk-in clinic. her name was Olivia. She taught me how to serve a customer. I gave a lady a cup of coffee and a donut. They were sitting on the counter beside me as I was punching it into the register."Thank you for visiting the Sugar House Bakery please come again." I said as I flung my arm towards the coffee to hand it to her. As I did that she tried to grab the coffee and it spilled all over her crotch.
"Oh I am so sorry, I really am, let me help you" I cried. I bent down under the counter to get her some napkins and I heard a loud sound. RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIPPPPPPPP. I reached around to my back end and realized a ginormous rip in the back of my favorite pants.
"Maybe you should take a 15 minute break" said Olivia.

I walked up to the lunch room and grabbed a cup of water and a bagel. After 6 cups of water I finally felt it. I rushed out of the lunch room and around the corner. I bumped into Mr. Hazel and we both fell over.
" I am so sorry Mr.hazel I didn't see you there." I told him.
"IF YOU DO ONE MORE THING THAT MAKES ME UNHAPPY YOU WILL BE FIRED" he yelled. By this time I was really bursting. I had to go pee. I burst through the bathroom doors and saw something that would scar me for life. Terrified I shut my eyes, told the man I was really sorry and stumbled out the door and into the right bathroom.

As my feet slowly dragged me back downstairs I thought about what could go wrong next. Olivia was waiting for me at the counter.
"Will you look under the computer and restart the computer, it's acting up again" Olivia asked.
"Wow", I thought. "She must have a big heart to act like nothing had happened."
" Sure" I said cheerily. Under the computer I searched for the power button. There was no button but there was an outlet hole. I pulled out the whack of cords and waited. I heard a high pitched sound and suddenly it was dark.

"ANNABELLE" I heard Mr. Hazel yell. "YOU'RE FIRED" His words kept playing back in my head over and over on the way home. I really blew it this time didn't I? The night went by in a Burr. I had decided I would bake a cake in the morning and bring it to Mr.Hazel.

I woke up with some spunk and decided I would bake a 3 tiered chocolate cake with butter cream icing and fresh raspberries in the middle. I put sugar flowers around the tiers and an "I'm sorry" piped in black italics on the middle tier.

The next morning I hoped on the subway once again and headed toward The Sugar House. As I walked in the door Holly saw me and Started backing up.
"Mr.Hazel" She yelled hesitantly into the back room. Mr. Hazel came out and looked at me.
"I thought I told you, you were FIRED" he said calmly.
"I don't think putting me up at the front desk was a good idea, I just came to saw that maybe you could give me a second chance but this time in the back making cakes" I told him honestly. I pulled off the cover on my cake and handed it over to him.
"Oh it's beautiful" Exclaimed Holly.
"It certainly is" Mr. Hazel said smiling. "Welcome to the team." Holly grabbed the cake and took it the the lunch room where everyone had a piece and we all became good friends.

I never made a fool of my self at the Sugar House again.
