Welp
Just got next week's official schedule; the boss had sent out a tentative preview last week, and contrary to that preview, I am now scheduled on Friday. This has me working the next three days, Thanksgiving inclusive. I've got Saturday off, but then I'm working on Sunday as well.
On the one hand, it kinda sucks that I'm going to be working over most of what, for a lot of people, is a nice, long weekend. I said I was available for Thanksgiving, but that didn't mean I expected to be working the days before and after!
On the other hand, there are no students in the building over Thanksgiving Break, which means that the bakery is quieter, and also I will feel comfortable going mask-free (by my own standards) for most of it. Nothing against the students, they're here to learn, but they do make things busier. (I should also look into getting some masks that go around the head instead of my ears, and/or try attaching ear savers to my work hat again. My last attempt wasn't ideal, but that's what seam rippers are for!)
On a different note, I wrote a long post about lurking on Dreamwidth and how it differs from lurking on Tumblr; you can view it at this link, though I do hope to save a copy over here at some point.

Another excellent Dreamwidth intro post! Also fascinated by that comment on Likes from
denise that you linked. Lots of food for thought there.
Good luck with the busy work week!

That said, I will have to check if they're available in black; that's the requirement for wearing masks where I work. They let us get away with hospital generic when masks were mandatory, but I don't think they'd let me get away with white masks these days.
