Reflection # 4

Today is Wednesday which means internship day. When I got to BLAZE, I saw that same lady from last time. But unlike last time, she was getting ready to leave. So I thought that the owner was going to come in or at least someone else to help me out. Guess I was wrong because nobody came in. I was all alone today which is crazy. I am still not a pro at this so I don’t know why they would have me doing all of this by myself, especially since it gets really busy.
Well the first thing I did was make sure all of the containers on my side were filled and not empty. Whichever ones were empty, including the dressings, I filled up. Every time I have to fill the salad dressing containers, I always make a mess. But not that big and if I do, I clean it up. Just like the other times, I made most of the same things: pizzas, salads, fries, fried fish, etc. The only new thing was chicken tenders, both the regular kind and buffalo kind. It wasn’t that hard to do, but having Ash criticizing my every move made it more difficult than it actually was. Well, today was not a really good day. Ash made me feel really slow and stupid. Because I’m not too sure yet on how everything is supposed to go, I ask a lot of questions. I guess me asking questions got him mad because he started swearing and slamming things. I did not like that at all but I can not say anything since I need this internship cite.
Honestly, I don’t think I can stay at this place. Even though I am learning new things, I can’t be in an environment where I don’t feel comfortable. I don’t think Ash really likes me and he makes me feel out of place. Every time I asked a question he would ask me if “I was serious” or “why was I asking that question”. Because of this, I think I am going to change my internship site. I know I am going to have to start my hours all over but I don’t care. As long as I get out of that place and find some place better where people treat me with at least a little more respect is fine with me. I already asked Bryan who is has the same topic if I could intern as his place. I hope that Mrs. Burke understands and approves of this. Overall, my day wasn’t that good. Having this as my site makes me not even want to graduate. That’s how bad it is to me. I just hope everything turns out for the better.
