Ok, so McDonalds isn't exactly the most glam job in the history of the universe, but at this point, a job is a job. Besides, without a job there's no way I'd be able to get through school.
So today I worked the morning shift, which was pretty exciting, I guess. I think I only made a few total screw ups and I think my manager hates me because she was expecting me to get everything right and know how it all goes when it was literally my first day. You gotta give people a little bit of time to get into the swing of things. However, I guess I can understand where she comes from. The pace is pretty quick, which I like. It keeps you on your toes. I learned pretty much all there is to know from a guy named Jess. He was pretty cool, and he was tired like me so I think we got along ok. I was still a bit nervous so he didn't really see the whole real side of me. You know, the ditzy side that is extremely giggly. Granted, I did drop an entire box of spoons on my head this morning. However,I was lucky and the box wasn't open so I didn't have an insanely huge mess to clean up. I also learned how to make the smoothies and mocha drinks that I've heard are so good. It really isn't that hard. I was the drink girl this morning. It was actually really fun. I made coffee and smoothies and orange juice. I wanted to learn how to make hot chocolate, but another guy beat me to it. Ya know, I think I actually know who that guy was. I'm pretty sure we went to Junior High together. Anyway, I'm not sure. If I see him tomorrow morning then I'll be sure to ask him if he went to Canyon View. Oh the memories.
My uniform consists of a bright blue button down shirt, a baseball hat, and hideous black pants that were tailored for men. I know exactly what I'll be getting as soon as I get my first paycheck. My body isn't the best to begin with, but those pants...oh my they were terrible. And WAY too long for me. I had to roll up the bottom, but until i can get pants that actually fit me then I shall be using the wonderful technology of safety pins. I would never choose to wear my uniform on my own, but I'm getting paid so I won't complain. That and once I get good pants I can always just wear a tee shirt under my button up and just take it off before I go home. Or I can always change in the bathroom.
Anyway, that's pretty much what happened. If I had had the time to take pictures I would have, but I don't want everyone to see me in my uniform unless they're buying something. That way, at least I'll get paid. i really don't think I would dislike it so much if it weren't for the pants, but that can be fixed. Either way, I'm sure I'll get used to it.
