Today I learned two very valuable lessons.
I learned them both the hard way.
Through experience.
Which, at work, Florence reminded me is the best teacher. But it is most definitely not the kindest one. Nuh uh. Actually, I made two mistakes in a row at work, and that was why Florence said that, cause she could tell I felt bad, and it was one of those things that I did because I just didn't really know any better. I was making sugar cookies, and i used all-purpose flour instead of the peach flour, okay?? And I forget what my second mistake was... but I just want you all to know that the cookies turned out fine. They really did. They were perfect, if I do say so myself. =) Anyways, neither of the lessons that I want to talk about today have anything to do with mistakes I made at work. Well, I guess one of them was learned from being at work....
Okay, I have complicated this enough.
Lesson #1- If you work in a bakery, and have the tendency to wipe sticky hands on the back of your skirt in the morning, and soon after wipe floury hands on the same area of your dress, you should never wear a black dress to work. Unless, of course, you want to walk around all day with handprints in odd places.
Lesson #2- Do not leave an advent calendar close to a source of heat. Like a heater. Don't leave that calendar there. You may think it is far enough away that it won't be affected by the heat, but just to be safe, you should put an extra ten feet or so between the heat and the calendar. Because those little squares of chocolate..... it doesn't take much to melt them.
.... Did i mention that i learned this the hard way?
