Phew.

It’s been an interesting, very exhausting week. Working during this season often leads to that, what can I say? At any rate, I feel like I’ve just completed a marathon, which isn’t surprising considering one of the last things I did at work tonight was haul about half a skid of apple pie cases off said skid and onto a truck (since someone ingeniously thought that putting half a skid of apple pie on top of half a skid of pumpkin pie. Nice in thought, not in practice, not in this season anyway). Then I had to haul about 40 of those cases to the bakery, upon which I got to unload all those pies onto a cart. Involved much box opening.

Did I mention my hands are all cutup?

One of the joys of this time of year. Between the cold weather, going to a hot bakery, into a very cold freezer, working with way too much cardboard and sharp plastic, buns that like to scrape into your hands (yes, bread is lethal), and those lovely sharp racks we use, my hands look like a disaster. I think the worst is a nice big slash across my right palm from one of our chrome racks that decided to slice my hand. Not too deep, but definitely a pain.

At any rate, I don’t have to work again until Boxing Day. Shocking, eh? That Andrea not only gets a day off, but THREE in a row, and Christmas Eve to boot! Yay! I didn’t ask for it, but it was Karen’s Christmas Gift to me. I gave her a big hug in return. 🙂 Oh, and lots of pies unboxed.
