Here I go, trying to keep up with blogging again. Well, this month I started at a brand new bakery (yay!) that will open it's doors (hopefully) at the beginning of this next month. When I got hired on to work for The Bakery, I was super excited and could not wait to get in and get back to baking. We started training and just preparing for opening (we'd originally) had an earlier opening date and I jumped in feet first and just went for it! And now, two weeks into it, I am starting to lose my enthusiasm some. Not due to lack of energy or lack of want to be in this business. Not due to early hours (there haven't been any yet). Not due to lack of anything actually baking related. Mostly due to the bad mojo some of the others working at The Bakery's attitudes. And these are main bakery workers. It is just so disheartening to be so excited about this bakery taking off and getting in from the get-go and have others starting off so negative. I am trying to stay in the positive, but the last few days have been the hardest. No one is pushing to get going with this. Stock orders were made late, we're still waiting for things to arrive, and no one is motivated to just get in and start! We have been working realllllly short days, which is frustrating to me, because they almost seem pointless to go in for.
BUT, I am trying really hard to keep a good spirit about it. I am trying really hard to go in everyday with a good attitude still and just push through and try to get us ready to open. We FINALLY got some of our food stock in yesterday, so today is an organization day since we have such a tiny kitchen, it really needs to be organized now that we have some stuff in, because a disorganized kitchen is killing me! I am glad we'll do this, and hope that it'll get everyone ready to come in the next day ready to finalize our recipes and really start cranking out some baked goods to prepare for our opening! Two weeks til opening will go by fast, so I hope we are finally going to put in the hours and the effort to make it happen!
Here is to hoping that today is the start of The Bakery taking off and working hard. I only hope the other workers are ready to start of on the right foot today too!
