26

so i finally mustered up the courage to call the bakery (which i have been planning to call for the past..month.) and told them that i wanted to apply for a job. i made an appointment for an interview at 4 and i almost puked from being so nervous. i swear, i'm a mess when the spotlight is on me. so i got to the bakery, filled out a form that the manager gave me, and sat there for about 30 minutes with her. i told her that i was available from monday through thursday, from 3pm-8pm. she gave me the most disappointing look and asked me why i wasn't available from 3pm-11pm.............in all seriousness, is this lady crazy? need i remind her that senior year isn't all about playing. i still have a lot of work to accomplish. moreover, i have a LIFE. i told her that latest i could work was around 9. we made a compromise that on some days, i would stay until 9 and on other days, i would stay until 11. she made me so nervous and paranoid. she pursed her lips when i told her i've never made an espresso in my life before (my apologies for being a teenager who tried to maintain all of my focus on things that were more important to me during my pre-teen years than making espressos). anyhow, she told me she would call me if i got the job later on during this week, but as soon as i go home, i received a call from the bakery telling me that i got the job and that i should come in tomorrow for training. oh boy. i'm actually quite ecstatic about this job. time to learn how to make espressos!
