• This post is a cop-out

  

  Kinda like these cakes.. Sorta.  I like to call these kinds of cakes “cop-out cakes” because.. I make them when I need cakes fast, and they’re really easy to make. But still tasty~  What they are is always this:  Bottom layer of cake, either white or chocolate.  Layer of whip cream.  Layer of cookie crumble (not unlike that which is put in the center of dairy queen ice cream cakes) either vanilla or chocolate flavoured. Layer of either chocolate sauce or caramel sauce. Layer of whip cream. Topping.  Which is any of a selection of candy crumbles.. Usually smarties or skor, but also reese’s pieces or crispy crunch.  :3  It’s easy, and it’s not really a traditional “cake” so it’s my cop-out cake.  o.o

  I’m a bit concerned today. I’m going to meet with a chef that used to teach me at the college.  He wants me to come work for him at a restaurant out in Lockport, which is pretty much the same distance away from my place as my current work, at the Assiniboia Downs. I’m trying to weigh out the pros and cons of the whole thing, and i still can’t decide what i want to do.. x_x 

  Pros:
  I’d be making $3.50 an hour more than I am now.
  It’s a pretty fancy place, so it’d be nice to get it on my resume.. (not that I ever use my resume)
  I could probably take my apprenticeship under Chef Grey, and learn a lot that way.

  Cons:
  I wouldn’t be just baking anymore, I’d be back in the kitchen.
  My hours would change, and I’d be stuck working full 8 hour shifts again, which i am NOT used to.
  I have to re-explain about my “situation”.. I hate having to do this at new jobs all the time.. I usually don’t, then when something happens I end up quitting instead of explaining myself because i find it easier.

  God I dunno what to do.  I wish I could just not work at all, but that’s.. Just something that isn’t gonna happen.  These kinds of decisions stress me out.. Plus i hate quitting jobs, especially a job like this one, I’m one of only two (and a half) people who can do my job at the place, me quitting would force them to hire someone new.  And leave them in a tight spot.  Right during the busy race season.  -_-  But on the other hand.. I’d be making 3.50 more an hour, which is quite NICE, i’d be able to afford cool stuff (and of course not have time to spend time with it) >_>  I hate working more than I have to..

  Thinking about all this is making my head hurt and makes me wanna just lie down and go to sleep.. I need my pill.. Which reminds me I should get my prescription filled.  BAH

  On a  better note.. The movie Wall-E is adorable. Went last night to see it with my family, and it was just too cute. <3
