I’m gonna get fat if I keep this up…
I get free lunch when I work a 10-hour shift! (Today I had cream of mushroom soup and yesterday French onion…yummy!) And then there’s the taste-testing of various gateauxs, tea cakes, chocolates, hot chocolates, candies, and innumerable teas! It’s heavenly. And I get to take goodies home. If a slice of cake is unpresentable, I get to feed it to my hubby. One time I brought home about 5 pieces of raspberry gateaux cake (that amounted to about ?20 worth of cake) and so we had the Hays over to consume lots of calories. Today I brought home 2 pain au chocolates for breakfast tomorrow and a few empty tea tins to store our tea in and spruce things up a bit. My feet are tired, but I’m remarkably chipper for 2 shifts back to back. I may even ditch the reading and watch a movie. What’s the world coming to?
P.S. I get to get PAID and get FREE BOOKS. Amazing beyond words. There’s a prize Edinburgh Uni gives out every year for fiction and biography. They pay postgrads to read the books, make comments and recommend a few to the final judges. They GIVE us the books and pay us to read; this is the best job ever. I believe it’s somewhere around ?100 that we get paid.
