The night goes by quickly to the point it seems like she closes her eyes and the next second, her alarm goes off.
Yawning and stretching, she shuts it off, pulls herself from the sleeping bag, looks for something to eat until she realizes, she has no groceries, That's right, I wanted to go today after work...I guess I'm going through the day without food until lunch. Not that big of a deal I guess. I have been spoiled, three meals a day, I need to cut back on my costs by eating at home. She makes her way to the bathroom and looks at her self in the mirror. I'll look for him on Saturday. It really doesn't matter what happens. I shouldn't it's not like it will change who I am... She leans closer to the mirror and looks into her own bright, green eyes Will it? She bats her hand lightly at the mirror What the hell am I becoming? Some kind of dreamer? It won't change me...He won't change me. He can't. I am who I am, no one will ever change that but me. Having the internal battle won, she prepares herself for the day, then heads out.
"Good morning, Jade," Kim greets her in her office, "It's nice to see you early and enthusiastic to begin your work,"
"Happy and excited to be here, Ma'am,"
"Good, that's the kind of personality we need around here," Kim smiles, stands and hands Jade her uniform and shows her to the rest rooms to change and tells her she can keep her street cloths in her office until the end of her shift.
"Alright, here is the bakery, this is your mentor, Jessica," Jessica walks up with a bright smile and shakes Jade's hand happily, "She will show you the ropes and teach you everything you need to know. I'll be up in my office for most of the day if Jessica can't answer any questions,"
"Hello, as you know, my name is Jessica, I'm super excited to have you on board, Jade," She begins as Kim walks back up to her office.
"Thanks, excited to be here," It's going to be a long day with her as my mentor, I think my cheeks will fall off at this rate.
Between working the oven, greeting guests, taking orders, answering the phone, packaging, cleaning, and learning the lay out of the store, Jade couldn't help but admit it was entertaining at the least.
"Alright Jade, you did wonderfully for your first day! You're learning quick, that's great! I'm excited for you to come back tomorrow where you can start to have hands on experience,"
"Great, I'll see you tomorrow," She waves good bye, goes up to grab her cloths and begins grochrie shopping for the week.
"That will be one hundred fifty dollars and eighty seven cents,"
"Here,"
"Paper or plastic?"
"Put as much as you can fit in two paper, the rest in plastic please,"
After receiving her two paper and six plastic bags, she begins the short, but exhausting journey back home.
The rest of the week passes quickly in much the same manor. Get up early, cook eggs, toast and sausage for breakfast, get ready, pack a small lunch, go to work, come home, cook dinner, do dishes, then back to bed.
