Bakery Experiences

Hey There,
This time around I'd just like to post about some of the experiences that I've had at Lunn's bakery (where I do work experience), so far. Well, I guess I should start with actually meeting the people that I work with, that's always cool, and was this time. I learned where everything's place is from the resident dishwasher, and some of the others who are there when I am. Now to start with some of the jobs that people ask me to do. The first jobs of the morning are cleaning (only on Tuesdays, as it is the first day the bakery is open after the weekend) the salad bar, and going to get the ice for it and the cold water tap. Turnig on the dishwasher and taking care of those dishes that have piled up from before I get there, doing tables (collecting dishes, and wiping the tables {usually I only get to do this twice a day, 'cause by the time I get back, the other dishwasher is there}). After the other dishwasher arrives, I get to do other jobs like prep work (peeling or cutting vegetables to be used at other times), labeling sandwhiches, dough stamping, in which I wasn't completely used to the motion of the machine that does this, so after continious use, this machine caused me to strain tendons in my right elbow, Ouch!!!! My elbow is now healing, through rather slowly, but still. Well, That's all the jobs I can think of, and that's just about as many experiences as I can think of, for now. As for school, more on that in the next post. Oh, one more thing, as many people know, this work experience is only supposed to go for six weeks, but we have the option of asking to have our Contracts extended for another six weeks, if we like where we are. I bring this contract thing up, because this week will be my nineth week work at the bakery, and my third extended week (starting tomorrow {Tuesday}). I had so much fun during my first six weeks, that I asked to have my contract extended, and I'm not the only person in my class who did so. Just to add one thing to the last post, college reminds me a lot of high school, the behaviour on some days is no different from high school. Wow, fifteen posts between my two blogs, "Lindsay's Thoughts" and this one, "Lindsay's College Life", Cool, and make that two things (though, that last sentence should be on my other blog, but I guess it can be on both).
Anyway, Another post is to appear soon,
Your Friend,
Lindsay

Nice comments, you two. Jerusha, I did tell you that I would leave this blog address as a different comment to you. My elbow will heal eventually, however, I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.
I went on the dough stamper again today.
Your Friend,
