you smell so fresh and clean
and how are you so kind with customers so mean?
Oh Pantry Oh Pantry,
how bright your stainless shines!
Oh Pantry Oh Pantry,
a fully stocked beverage case and
tidy fridge make you the happiest!
Oh Pantry Oh Pantry,
Why is it you are so inviting?
Your sugar topped pies and
grease drowned rolls make my world sublime!
Oh Pantry Oh Pantry,
how I love you!
If only...If only...
you could talk too!
Ok, well I was really bored and hopefully that entertained someone. Moving on, tonight was not my night to shine. Although the stainless steel, that I polished, was lustering beautifully in the shine of the sun!
I walked into work and what I saw was no fun.
The dirty pans piled high I wanted to run.
I would have to wash them, I knew that for sure.
So sad, for my anguish there was no cure.
This really isn't working well. I wanted to write this whole post in a poem, but I have failed already. So I got to work tonight and the women who worked before me, the Pantry manager, left a HUGE pile of dishes, which is not unusual. I was really angry about it too. It put me so behind! The entire night I was gradually washing the dishes she didn't wash. I had to pan a ton of stuff tonight, and I ran out of pans because she had not washed any of them all morning. And so when I got there at 5:00, there were hardly any pans. Long story short, I stayed until 9:30. I got everything done she had me get done, despite my animosity. Whenever I'm really mad about how many dishes she leaves of something like that, I am that much more determined to do EVERYTHING she tells me I need to do. I was doing some calculation after I got home. I was fascinated, maybe you will be too. But if you are busy, don't keep reading. I bet there are a million and a half better things you could be doing with you time. If you're bored like me, read on!
I have worked to today, 33 shifts. Each of these is a closing shifts where I have to pan:
3 pans of cinnamon rolls=18 total
2 pans of orange rolls =24 total
9-12 pans of rolls =180-240 total
6 dozen cookies =72
GRAND TOTAL =ABOUT 324 items
324x33=(DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........)
10,692
Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!! Now can you see why I may easily get sick of my job? I have panned 10,692 items! And that doesn't even include some of the other things we pan, special orders and Easter. That's gross!

Wow look at you! Writing poetry... practicing your math skills. You are a superwoman! and look what you have accomplished!! 10,000+items panned!! Amazing!;)
Laura, as I was reading your poem, which is lovely, by the way, I could only remember my sister Jocelyn working at DB, and in the pantry with Julie Davis and how goofy they were, and now, you are the goofy one. I kind of miss the Pantry, I'm not going to lie. Those cinniamon rolls... You'll have to make me some! Only if you want to.
