Deep cleaning list for January- please work on it if you have time and feel free to deep clean anything else that needs it. Max batch list updated! Posted on the board for reference Cold weather/snow protocol- management will keep us updated with store closings and any information needed. Obviously don’t feel bad if you get stuck at home, don’t try and drive on crazy ice roads or anything. I’ve noticed the paddle on small Hobart mixer gets pushed up sometimes, just check it after you’ve cranked the bowl all the way up, and make sure it’s on right. Low list is posted, if you notice something is getting low please write it on there, especially if it’s a rare ingredient or about to expire. Check heavy cream dates- we don’t use as much anymore so we tend to end up with more than we can use. Taxes on Paychex Flex, if you navigate around you can find it I believe it is in the documents section. Management can help you get your forms, if needed. Everything is coming out nice- the doughs look good, thanks

I’ve been hella depressed and messed up since I was 17. I’ve been through a lot- it taught me, made me different than everyone else around me. I’m just not like them. “Like a river that don’t know where it’s flowin, I took a wrong turn and I just kept goin”

I haven’t accomplished much except survive whats happened to me. Life, and my own shitheadedness have cost me a lot. I’ve been so stupid, I’ve been smart a few times too. Turned away, backed off when I knew I should. God diverted me from worse many times. Every time, really.

I haven’t accomplished much, I know, but im trying. I’m writing a bit, smoldering, learning from life. I think I focus too much on the negative, I blow things up. So I make mountains out of molehills. I should be skipping around, but I’m always tripping. I am so lame anymore. I don’t read or draw. No friends, no church. I don’t watch cool anime or explore cinema. I don’t go on hikes or cook. I work, and sit around bummed out. I trip out about work and church and things that happened to me.

It’s like I need to try a crazy experiment. Show up on time to work, you know be there and do it, but focus on your writing and health. Like fuck work, do your writing first. Have that be the focus, the whole point. Spend money if you have to. If you get done early, awesome. Get to start writing sooner.

I’m not down about any of this. I just have to be real. And, also, I can’t let this be the end. Like John Vega was a kid with potential, but life got hard, he fucked up and struggled and a lot of time went by. Then, he was 39 and…what? He killed himself? Went trans? Gave up and disappeared completely? Stayed mediocre? Went to jail? Like, what do you want the end to be?

people will accuse you of using AI. people will ask you if you use AI and they won't believe you if you say you don't. there will be a market for books written by AI, big or small it will be there. people will make money off of this. they will use AI to generate dialogue, plots, outlines, synopsis and they will do it faster than you can without AI. people will get expert and precise feedback and criticism. people with less than 1% of your talent and passion will use AI to cheat, shortcut, and steal their way into deals and success.

What are you going to do about that?
