The New Deal.

Learning is always fun in the baby stage.
After a quick tutorial on the really expensive garbage disposal, I wondered when I was going to start forgetting all the information I've been receiving this week. There are so many little details.

Rinse the third pans.
Date the six pans.
The lever needs to be in the manual position to start.
Pull the pin to open.
Bleach and hot water to remove pickle scent.
Flip the cheese. And the soup.
Listen for the timer.

You get the idea. I need to start writing this stuff down. I'm loving it though.
I love the rhythm of the day. Early mornings start with prep activities, readying ourselves. Then the lunch rush begins. For two-ish hours it's controlled chaos. Orders being taken, numbers announced, sandwiches wrapped, soup delivered, smiles given. The time flies by while customers eat delicious creations. Then things begin to slow down. Customers trickle in. We can breathe again. We continue to wind-down, turning the music up, cleaning up, and preparing for the next day.

I wonder how long I will love it. Is it just because it's challenging and new? I usually get psyched about anything in the beginning. Which is part of the reason why I really don't know "what I want to do" because I always change my mind. And honestly, I end up liking something once I get started doing it. I mean, I always loved my classes at the beginning of the semester. And then time passed. And the newness subsided. And it was monotonous. I've felt this way in almost all my jobs. Activities. Etc, etc.
So maybe I'm just addicted to new. The dewy, sunrise of another experience. I get withdraw headaches in the afternoon without it. Er, wait, that's coffee. I guess I just get a restless headache and it takes a bit longer to set in.
As time continues and the number describing my age continues to grow, this fixation with new beginnings could become problematic. Disconnected and nomadic? Unstable perhaps? Then again, maybe it will just lend itself to a lot of different experiences and fun.

Bah. Who knows. But for now, I will sleep. And wake up pumped for another sunrise.
