And today, I think it worked.
We had a lot of nuisancey stuff to do in the morning, what with a special order for peanut butter chocolate chip bars, and a lunch order for sandwiches, couscous salad, and a cookie platter, but I did get the lunch salads and sandwiches out by 11:30, and soups out by 12:30 (we had a bit of a Soup Emergency today, guess why, because she wouldn't let me prep earlier in the week).
And then she chopped mirepoix so I could make a mushroom barley soup, and I got that going, and on to the sixteen pear blackberry pies. With a bit of blackberry brandy in the mixture.
I took 11.5 hours, not the 10.5 she wanted, but she had better not complain about it. I got a lot of stuff done.
And I must remember that the Rocky Horror soundtrack is an extraordinarily cheerful thing to listen to at work.
