Eight Hours! :)

I worked a full day of work! :D For the first time in almost a year I worked a full eight hour work day. It was fantastic! I earned money!!! I had fun, I was productive, I only screwed up a handful or two of times...lol, and I earned money! Lol, clearly I'm very thrilled about the money I earned. Granted, I earned about 50% more last summer for every hour I worked but somehow, I don't even really care right now. Sure, more money would be freaking fantastic, but last summer I needed money, this summer I need money; it's all about what you need in the moment and in the upcoming future. I am not so very desperate that I need to take on two jobs; however, I do have another offer still out on the table... I guess we'll just have to wait and see what comes of that.
So today I woke up at 5:58 am and then got out of bed at 6:20; I was mildly lazy but this is not a customary waking up time for me ok! I usually save this god forsaken hour for immense excitement (ie: vacations, dates, once-in-a-lifetime sunrises, etc.) but today I was exceptionally proud of myself. I mean, let's consider: last year I had 8am classes; I wasn't out of bed til 7:30 maybe 7:40, and not to class til 7:59 or so. Today I worked my hours from 7am til 3pm; I amaze myself sometimes ok :)
lol I am really quite cheery right now. Today was superb. I've never really had an encounter with a police officer, but today, as on Sunday, our local Corvallis Police Department came in for a little visit. I was actually really quite fond of the one dude, he speaks French and really is quite enjoyable. I guess maybe I was prejudice from where I come from, but I was not expecting the joyous and really, amicable personality of my clientel. He came in because some poop face stole something from Starbucks and so he wanted to see if we'd recognize the dude. He stays and chats and gets updates on business, and really, it's a nice reprieve from the busy hubbub.
And boy was it busy! We sold out of most of our inventory by like ten thirty I'd estimate! That's amazing! I for sure thought we'd close way early, but some people stayed and enjoyed the atmosphere and sipped coffee til only about an hour before closing time. We still got out right at the time we'd normally just be closing the doors, so all in all, for my first weekday shift, a great experience!
And, another baguette to take home for me! :) Yay! And at luncheon time, my boss let me have half of a left over quiche Lorraine. So scrumptious! It was heavenly, I ate it cold and it was still one of the best quiches of my life! I think our lil chef/ baker is "doué" to be sure!

By the by, if you are ever in Corvallis, you should TOTALLY come to the place, the pastries and such are delicieux! And then you'd get to see lil' ol' me in a cute little French pastry outfit. Super cute.
