A new routine

 If you follow me on Facebook you may have seen my post that read "Breathe in, breathe out, repeat. I can do this."

Well we have a new manager at work. She's nice, knowledgeable and has plans that aren't open much for discussion. Basically she is working on increasing the parts of the store that are doing well and trying to find new ways of bringing people in. 

One of the plans involves increasing the number of donuts that we fry every day. I don't object to that but although it doesn't seem like it would strenuous, lifting all those racks in and out of the fryer is tough on my back. Then on top of it I have to do a daily breakout of product for the next day and it involves lifting a lot of heavy boxes. She is sympathetic to this problem at least and has made some changes that will help ease the added strain.

She wanted to me to advertise on our Facebook page that we increased the donuts. I put these pictures up.

She also wanted something that would be a bit Halloweenish. Her idea was to make these donuts with orange cream inside instead of the white. I wasn't thrilled with the idea so I devised a plan. Rather than tell her what I thought would work better, I showed her. I did one donut the way she wanted and another the way I would prefer to do them. Visuals worked because she liked my idea better and I'm just drizzling some orange frosting on the top of these.

These are our glazed croissant donuts. A customer commented that "These are what dreams are made of."
