Second Week of Work Experience

Okay,
So my second week of work experience at Convent Bakery. I'm actually reeeeally glad I did it. It was an amazing experience. I got to work in the front (waitressing), back (bakery) and the front kitchen. The people there were extremely friendly. For example, many of them who were working in other areas smiled and bothered asking for my name even though they really didn't have to.

In the front, I met Lilly, Laura, Lina, Jas, Giovanni, Guilliano, Goody (his nickname), Ella and Matthew. And they sometimes spoke in Italian. It was preetty darn cool. I was the 'runner' and went around clearing tables and serving the dishes and coffee. I kinda want a part time job as a waitress now. :P

The bakery, surprisingly, wasn't as fun as the front. I met Jo, Jack and Janet. They were nice too, although I think Janet found it a bit of a bother to find things for me to do.. Oh, btw, Jack is a 15 year old 'apprentice'. He got into some trouble quit school. o.o You would think he would be kind of messed up, but he was actually extremely nice to me and helped me heaps. :) Nice people are nice. I got to cut and pack a gazillion cookies and pipe jam into cookies! But the second day was pretty much sweeping and mopping and UGH. Washing dishes. -.-

I met Dom too. He was a great person and offered me food, as well as a job at the bakery on the weekends. :D BUT I can't. :( Because my weekends are packed.

The front kitchen was good too! I peeled potatoes.. BUT I got to chop up, grate (the grating machine was super cool!) and mix 5 different cheeses for the cheesy toastie. I met Fabio, Mihir and Suk. They actually took the time to talk to me and find interesting things for me to do.

OH and I got free bread everyday. Their bread is amazing. And I also got to choose any pie or those bread rolls with gourmet fillings. The roast beef baguette was super tasty. :) OH and hot chocolate too. :P

Stefano would say 'Ciao, bella' to me. Which translates into 'Hello, beautiful' or 'Bye, beautiful'. But I'm assuming bella also means girl. Because as sweet as it would be, it'd be a little. Strange. haha.

I'm actually gonna miss it..

I actually quite enjoyed public tranport-ing.

Thinking I have fully experienced work,
