The yucks have it

Oh to be in their heads for a couple seconds

Things just don't seem to be picking up.  I'm starting to realize that the office is the den of evil and negativity.  No one smiles, or laughs, or has a kind word to say.  It's just all so ugly.  It's not only my office.  I was talking to my Sue and the state of affairs in our world is just not looking that great.  I'm really hoping I can get promoted soon and see the grass from the other side.  Things have gotten so grim she and I were looking at the job postings around the country.  So far I could move to San Diego and Hawaii for my job.  There were some other closer not fun sounding jobs but I need to keep on my debt paying off budget.

The highlight, if you want to call it that, is that I daydream a lot about opening my own bakery.  It's my passion, the one thing I love more than anything else in life.   Yes I need to get over my fear of yeast and make bread.  I'd also make donuts.  I love donuts almost as much as I love Cheetos.  These delicious beasts also require yeast and frying, which is something I'm also a bit scared of.  I feel I could be successful where I live, I just need to develop a cult following early on.  I've thought about trying out some summer festivals to see how I would do selling.  I'd start with magic cookie bars, my basic chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies, special k bars and maybe even some puppy chow.  A nice variety to keep everyone intrigued.  I've got a zillion other recipes in my head that would be winners.  I never come home from an event with any treats left.

The biggest fear of having my own bakery is actually the running and money side of it.  I wouldn't mind being up in the middle of the night to make things fresh, but having to budget and pay vendors/people, yuck.  I honestly would hire my mom to do that and have my sister run the store.  She's super creative and has a great eye for design.  The only other thing I need is a taster and a coffee maker.  Maybe my Sue would do that.  I know I won't let my Dad or bro in law too close, I'd lose all my profits!

It sure is fun to dream, especially when all I have to look at is trees trees, oh and trees!
