Ode to Tim Hortons!

This summer I'm trying desperately to get full-time day shifts at Tim Hortons. To my delight, I got some day shifts last week, but wanted to throw myself into the oven the whole time that I was there. I honestly found myself watching the clock constantly and gazing out the drive-thru window sighing as a beautiful day was slipping by. I felt bored and restless throughout the 8 1/2 hour shift as I found myself doing tedious jobs. By the end of my first shift, I couldn't believe that I actually had to go back there again for another full day.
But now that I've worked more day shifts, things have definitely changed. Well. .I guess I've changed. I've really started to enjoy the people that I work with. Maybe I have been with Tim Hortons too long and the job is getting boring- but at least these people are new to me! Lately, my shifts have been going by fairly quickly as I've begin to socialize more and do less tedious jobs, like the sandwich area and baking.
A week ago, I was counting down how many days I would have to endure more muffin peddling . I figured that at least I only had less than two months. But now, Colin and I's plans have changed. Instead of going to South Korea in July for 5 weeks, we will be going to the missions school in Mozambique, Africa for a couple of months, starting in October. So now I will be at Tim Horton's until mid-August! In August, we will be heading to Windsor to visit, then to Saskatchewan, having our wedding, and then staying there until October. And it'll be so long to hair nets, roll up the rim, and waxies!
But maybe I should cherish my Tim Horton's time while I can. A part of me is glad that I haven't attended my last staff meeting, brewed my last pot of coffee, or dipped my last vanilla dip donut with sprinkles.
Tim Hortons. . you may not be "always fresh". .but you've always been good to me.
