Bagel Hell

[megoobie]

So, today at work a rather funny thing happened. Two customers wanted their bagels toasted twice in the automatic and possessed bagel toaster. So, being the intelligent person that I am, I accepted their requests without letting them know that our toaster is actually quite good and that their bagels probably would not need a second run through. Now, as I may have mentioned in the past, the Panera bagel toaster has a grudge against me and I have yet to sit down with it to sort out its odd aggression and to guard against any future offenses. Thus, I often come home with third degree burns on my arms and a slight tan. Today, the bagel toaster woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I put the two bagels through it and it proceeded to light them on fire, causing smoke to fill the restaurant and to scare our customers half to death. The doors were thrown open so as to prevent the sprinklers from going off and drenching the entire place. My manager, Tim, started cracking up as he pulled the flaming bagels out of their metallic hell and quite loudly proclaimed, "Well! I've never had anyone set bagels on fire before! I didn't think it was possible. Good job, Madison."

I hate that toaster. I bloody hate it.

Oh, and the slicer only sent one bagel flying at my head today. Maybe it felt a slight pity towards me.

Tomorrow, dear reader, I take my driving test! YAY! I will let you know how it goes so that you can clear the streets if you so choose. :)
