I Am Irrationally Irked at Signs From Above

THIS is a three seed demi loaf. You can purchase one at your local Panera Bread location.

But you won't. Because no one ever does. Because they're weird. It's just reallllly seedy bread. And there's a reason that can be taken both literally and figuratively. 

At my location, we generally sell one maybe once a month. Maybe. 

I started noticing this after I began doing runout more regularly at the end of the night and counting everything we had left over. Guess what? We always had the three seed loaf. We always make one for the day, and we always have one at closing. It's just how it is. So I made a resolution. 

I would take it as a sign from above if I ever sold one. It would be God telling me it was time to quit my job, because I couldn't keep working there once the impossible had been achieved. 

It became a running joke among some of my coworkers and I. Whenever someone else would sell one, someone would text me to tell me. I would be upset. Very upset. 

So lately I've been thinking about finding another job. I was disappointed that I hadn't sold one yet, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from leaving once I had found another source of employment that suited my needs better. I mean, it was just a joke, right? 

Cue my shift today.

I rang a few customers. I was condensing the bread wall, and I noticed the three seed loaf. In all the chaos of my life and my decisions concerning the real world lately, I've been almost entirely dependent on my prayer life for verification that I'm not insane. So while I was rearranging bread, I thought to myself, "God, when it's time for me to leave, let me sell this dang three seed loaf."

Customer #5:

Me: "What can I get for you today?"

Customer: "I'd like a three seed demi loaf, please."

Me: "....A what?"

Customer: "A three seed demi loaf. Do you still have one?"

Me: "....Of course we still have one...We always have one..."

Customer's face:

Me: "I'll go get that for you."

I was then freaking out. A lot. 

And you know what? 

I put in my two weeks notice. 

Call me crazy. That's fine. 

Forget the sass. Forget the class.

Here's to acting on faith,

I Am Irrationally Irked by UVA Sustainability

TRY JUST ONE.

If you use the restrooms around grounds, you've probably seen a UVa Sustainability sponsored sticker telling you this as you get a paper towel to dry your hands. If you haven't seen this, then dude, wash your hands. 

In general, I don't really take issue with this. I'm all for eco friendly shenanigans. But sometimes I can't just take one. 

Take this evening for instance. And by evening, I mean 3:25 A.M.

I'm currently in the second circle of the Inferno with Boo. (The Inferno being Clemons, and the second circle being the second floor. Anyway.)

Boo sometimes has problems. With liquids. Staying inside containers. Inevitably, she will spill it either A) on herself, B) in her immediate vicinity, or C) all over my bed (different story). Tonight, she decided to embrace option B. 

I'm used to this, so I thought it was hilarious. When I stopped laughing maniacally, I went to grab some paper towels to help clean up the spill. Didn't want it to turn into something like this:

I happened to walk into the restroom at the same time as another girl. She went straight to the mirror to fix her hair, and I went straight to grab paper towels. On about towel number four, I noticed she was looking over at me. Not just looking, glaring. Apparently taking more than one when your hands aren't even wet is somewhat frowned upon. I think that if I had had a decent amount of sleep in the past six days that I would have remained silent and let her judge me. But you know....I didn't. Instead I turned around and said, 

"No, I'm not trying just one."

Then I left. 

I regret nothing.

Add some sass to your class,
