Work begins as usual and I can't wait to start the day. I've taken lessons learnt from Mr Jones seriously.
Kneading the dough again and placing it in a pan size then off to the oven.
And hey, I got my first work gloves!
So thick and comfy
And the mission for today is make more dough and stay away from a certain someone
"Hey!" Speaking of which..
"Good morning sir!" I decided to be polite for the first time, first impression. Maybe he'll ease his hostility that way.
"Humm.... what's that your name again bunion!" I knew he called my name like that on purpose
"It's Orion sir!" .... I gave him the best smile I could muster. It's said if you don't act the way a bully wants he might actually go away...
Who said that anyways? Makes no sense to me!
"Don't get to cocky around here. Do your job and don't dare try to use Jones to your selfish interest just because he's nice to you.
He's the same to every body so don't think you're special!" He looked at me like I'm a sort of plague.
I've never thought myself to be special... I'm beyond a mad living person! Makes no sense...
' Orion...quit with these stupid quote or whatever!' mentally slapping myself, I've got to stop these quote thinking
" When I talk I get an answer...!" Now he's angry because I wasn't listening or responding
"Yes sir! I'll stay on my lane. I definitely know my place here!" He felt pleased with my answer,the hoy gaze slowly fade away and he seem to notice that as he quickly put up an irritated expression and scoffs away.
Proceeding with the work of the day, I got myself ready...
" Gloves...check. Apron.... check, hair net... check. Break a leg Orion!" I cheered myself up and off I go y'all.
Heated smoke, burning oven,grunts and sweats filled the room.
I went straight to the space put up for me by Mr Jones and took the dough to start kneading
"Do you think the dough would wait for you or we'll do your assigned portion?" His voice is quite small and irritated...what did I do to offend this little man right now.
"I'm sorry... I forget the direction to this place. It won't happen next time!" If nothing at all, having a plain work relationship brings peace
"If it does happen I'll just put you inside the oven then!" He said with a smirk...others laughed like it's something funny...
That would kill me right?
" Of course it'll kill you but don't worry, Ramsus is going to be back and he's not going to let his brother dirty his hand with a street rag!"
They laughed again,and this time I can tell their saliva went straight into the dough and their sweats flirting with the pans and dough too...
It was a long laugh and I was wondering what the heck of a deal this Ramsus guy will be.
Soon it was lunch time and my shift was over until three hours later. I decided to eat,eat,eat as much as I can.
You may never know when I'll never get the chance to eat this much. And amazingly the cook obliged me.
" Hey workman!" ....it was Mr Jones...
running fast with a book in his hand. I smiled, approving him to sit
"I can see you're doing good. The record for your baking today is amazingly fast."
I didn't seem to understand what he meant by that
" Uhn.... I don't understand!"
"Oh... sorry! What I mean is you did good today. You handled so many dough and lots of bread got wrapped up and delivered because you're so fast."
Oh yeah I'll admit it. I wanted to wrap this whole kneading thing fast because I was hungry... I didn't think much about it!
" I'm glad I can do my job well. And thanks for the house Mr Jones!" Gratitude to where it is due... I'll never forget that.
*Great job then. Keep it up and you might start making bread! I'll be off now..eat more if you're hungry!" He said while walking off to another direction... probably his office.
