For me, the apron serves little purpose because they are a size Men's Large, whereas I am a woman's Small. Basically I drown within the fabric. The apron is always getting snagged, caught, dirtied, and torn up around all the equipment. I've even seen the apron ties get caught on fire. But for me and my curly, Ginger hair, my apron contrasts against the dark colors, getting me in trouble all the time for not having my hair properly secured.

Basically it is a dance, where u coordinate around the students, your managers, and the equipment. You become so familiar with this that it becomes choreographed and natural for your muscle memory. In this, your work becomes your dance. And yet, all our work is constrained within the timelimits of the clock, which defines our success at the DC, as well as our financial livelyhood. Overall, it is a balance in these two that completes your success.

This usually means more work for us, as well as staying later than our assigned departure schedules because of the difficult task. And the fact that this always occurs on Mondays usually makes the experience even crankier because no one wants there mondays to last longer than normal.

Another big complaint is that the Dc costs from 7-9$ depending on the meal and that the meal quality isnt as good as the high price would suggest. It is all you can eat buffet, but some student do not take advantage of this, and so food consumption is highly affected by price. It is difficult as a worker to take these complaints because i can do nothing to help or change it, yet I experience the worst of the yelling and complaints.

This week they have been protesting and getting signed petitions for the DC to expand their vegan menu at the DC. What they dont understand is the political and economic problems would simulatneously occur. It is not a simple decision to just change the menu. It affects hundreds of people from the manufacturers to the auxilory staff at the DC.

It is a constant struggle to block students from their main source of communication and technology while at work since it has become such a standard piece of everyday life. I hardly think twice about using it, even at work because it is so natural. To exemplify this, im going to use a phone as an icon

Unoftunitly for me, multiple bouts of laughter ensued, causing my levels of embarasment to reach a high for the day, which is a common occurance when serving food to thousands of freshman every day.

Today's biggest detail would be my nickname, The Ginger. The Ginger is a reference to a youtube video that Southpark made in a common parody. It details a redheaded boy raging about how he is tired of being made fun of for being a redhead and that he has a soul becauz he is christian. Considering I am made fun of, but in playful tones, I am going to work on The Ginger aspect of the word to create an image. Some words to remember:
The Ginger
Soul
Christian
Redhead
Freckles

Yes, cups. As a busser today, I had to deal with hundreds of people leaving their plates, garbage, and spills across the entire dining room for me to clean up, despite the fact that they could do it themselves. Needless to say, I wasn't a happy camper. People find it amusing for some mysterious reason, to fill their cups with napkins and mashed up food to make it hard to clean and spills everywhere on the Dish room carts. So my word for this day will be cups and it will have a drastic angry surface, with a lot of tension within the word.
