FINALLY!!

"Let's Eat Out" - Gil Elvgren, 1967
 
I am so, SO happy to be able to write this because this is something that  

I've wanted for so long...

I,  

[[Miss Dot]], 

have a job...  

AT A BAKERY!!

Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed about working in a bakery.

When people get a baked treat, it's always something special.

That's why it's called a TREAT, silly!

To be a part of that [[something special]] seemed SO FANTASTIC to me.

Whether it be something as simple as the eclair that a lady decided to treat herself to at the end of a long workweek or the cookies a mom promised her kids in return for good behavior, being a part of the treat chain (as I like to call it) has long been something I've wanted to do.

It even goes further, though;

to get the chance to be part of someone's special day...

to help take the order for a birthday cake,

an anniversary cake,

a wedding cake...

I mean, think about it:  

When customers order from us, they have chosen (and entrusted!) this bakery (and, in essence, chosen me) for the task of ensuring that their celebration is perfect.  And what a task to be given!  I am just so excited to start and learn and begin helping people make their celebrations amazing.

I want to be that key piece that helps put everything together.

I want to hand them their cake and have them say:
"THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED"

or, even better:

"THIS IS PERFECT."

I know there will be rough days and unsatisfied/unruly customers, but hopefully those will be few and far between and the pros will outweigh the cons.

Keep me in mind come Wednesday (my first day!) and I'll let you know how it goes :)
