Another Day At Work

11/23/24, 09:43 PM
Work Can Get Exhausting
As I search for my career job, I am currently working at Tous Les Jours as a barista. I pack bread, prepare drinks, and work the register, among other things. I have been working here for a little over 2.5 years, and while I am fairly happy with it, I am beginning to get exhausted by the workload. When I started I was very happy with the amount of work I did, but lately, our location has gotten significantly busier and I have had more responsibilities like packing bread to be shipped to another location. So by the end of my shift, I typically feel completely drained for the day, making it hard for me to be productive on these days. This is especially because I have to arrive even earlier on Sundays as there are fewer of us working for that shift, meaning I must start packing bread extra early. Overall, though, I do very much enjoy this position because on Saturdays I work with people I'm very close with, one of them being my brother, and we typically have a very fun time. However, the amount of work to be done is exhausting and almost makes me feel exhausted for the entire week. Anyway, I've attached some pictures of some of the bread we packed today, and I'm currently mentally preparing for the shift I have tomorrow morning. Hope all goes well, and I hope to post again soon!
Heading Home Today
So I'm unsure if this is because of the holidays approaching, but I've noticed that traffic on Saturdays at the time I leave (~3:00 pm) is exponentially worse now, to the point that there are people directing traffic in some locations. Once I get closer to my house the traffic is far less, but especially as I leave the traffic makes me even more exhausted.
Conclusion
Anyway, I've attached some pictures of some of the bread we packed today as well as the traffic heading back, and I'm currently mentally preparing for the shift I have tomorrow morning. Hope all goes well, and I hope to post again soon!
