Guess who jumped back on the train headed for the real world? It's me, Debs, working girl once more. I spend my days rotating throughout various tasks....making coffee, making polite conversation @ the till point whilst ripping people off, toasting teacakes and filling baked potatoes, washing dishes, cleaning tables or, when I'm really lucky, I get to stand at a portable coffee cart beside Santa's grotto in the freezing cold. My mind changes about 231 times each day about whether I like it or hate it.
PROS
Money.
Constant smell of fresh espresso is like drinking espresso shots constantly which is like being high.
Money.
Time flies like it does when you're having fun.
Money.
CONS
I burn myself everyday. On the coffee contraption, the milk frother, the ovens and the dishwasher.
I cut myself with knives or scissors.
I have to wash my uniform every day.
My hair smells like coffee and the rest of me smells like ham and cheese toasties
The process of recruiting secret agents for a counter terrorist unit based in Lisburn has been put on hold.
Despite all that, I am very grateful to have a job. I am just the type of person who will always complain about a job like this one because I am passionate about working with youth and saving the world. When you are in the midst of the lunchtime rush, with 11 toasties cooking at once, another 5 waiting and peeps shouting numbers all over the show, you have to reassure yourself 'it's only temporary'.
