Musings From A Donut Shop Gal

Wednesday, July 27, 2016

From babysitter to donut shop employee to tshirt maker, it's been one hecka busy year.  


As I look back over my year of slinging donuts at my first "big girl" job, I have to think fondly about those 7 a.m. shifts where I about died and wanted to murder at least twenty people.  Those purple frosted donuts were so ugly when I first started, too.  Why people let me decorate them and never said a word I will never know.



sweet memories, sweet friendships.

// I R E M E M B E R W H E N //
  • I was the first to show up to a 5 a.m. shift and when I found the door unlocked I waltzed in, blissfully unaware I had set off the alarm.  I know the police man was CONVINCED I was an ex-convinct out to rob a little donut shop, what with my sleepy eyes and messy pony tail, but he let it slide
  •  Cold parades on rickety bikes
  • When I was an hour late to work due to uncontrollable circumstances and was completely convinced I was fired, right then and there  (spoiler alert: I didn't get fired ^_^ )
  • When my best friend got a job with me and we were SO productive 


    • That one military guy who said I was cool and oh would you go out with me sometime?  I will never forget the look on his face when I told him I was in high school
    •  When I was an hour late to work due to uncontrollable circumstances and was completely convinced I was fired, right then and there  (spoiler alert: I didn't get fired )
    • How when you work with people for such an extended period of time you basically know everything that's going on in their life (because let's be honest- work IS our life)

    •  That other time when there was ice on my windshield and no ice scraper, and then I dropped my keys in between the seats, and then I was once again convinced I would be fired because I was running fifteen minutes late (I was a wee bit paranoid guys)
    • Twinning, yo
    • Trying to go to Varsity to study and then talking with the girls working instead 
    • SO MANY ARTSY PICTURE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE THIS PLEASE




    Sure, there were days where I barely could drag myself to work, or when time crawled by and donuts made my stomach hurt and I ate way too many donut holes (because they don't count as an actual donut man).

    But golly gosh I do love Varsity.  It's been so real y'all.  I donut know what life would be like without my Varsity homies.  

    Lots of love from your favorite donut shop gal,
    Chloe
