Willy Wonka

Day 4 is over and there were no disasters today, either created by me or anyone else, though I am telling you there is something about the New Girl that just does not add up!

Overall, I will say that what I thought was so is not.  Like I've entered a Willy Wonka world, where former execturives who got paid oodles to advertise Kleenex are now sentenced to hard, physical labor;  or nice people who thought they were going to be taking an intensive baking class find themselves on their feet for eight hours a day, in a scratchy uniform, and afraid of ovens.

More examples ?

-This is called a Master Bread Program...sounds hard and highly intellectual...not one where you are actually responsible for 130 baguettes a day...baguettes that are actually consumed by unsuspecting human beings?
-The word 'retarder' is used a lot, and my politically correct ears always cringe.  Turns out, it's a refrigerator where you put dough you want to proof on a very slow timeline.  And, speaking of ears, the expression also heard multiple times daily, "try and slash your bread to get ears" actually sense to me now!
-The concept of culture is oft discussed.  In my old life, it was usually about the anthropological nuances in the world, or at least teen behavior....here in this world, it basically means old dough.  As in, add 435 grams of culture to your pate fermentee.

I can only hope and pray that Friday really means Friday to these people!
