I don't know how many times a day I've had to say those words in the last 5 months, but never once was it the truth. Until today...
Okay, actually today was still a crappy day at Dunkin', because it's a crappy place to work, because all fast-food places are crappy places to work. But today was a slightly better day at Dunkin' than all the rest, because today was my last day! My last day ever putting on a headset and trying to decipher mumbled drive-thru orders. My last day spilling hot coffee all over my hands. My last day holding my tongue for ridiculously picky and demanding customers. Unfortunately it's also my last day covertly stealing donuts. But they did let me keep my uniform! Maybe I'll be able to use it to sneak into a Korean Dunkin' Donuts and snatch some free breakfast. Like some delicious sesame tofu rings or glutinous rice sticks. YUM!
Better knock on wood. While we're gone, the world economy might collapse to an even greater degree than today's, and the only jobs left in the US might be drive-thru technician positions. You'll be super-qualified, and I will once again be able to tell customers that I have AIDS and am proceeding to bleed all over their chicken fingers.
