easter and baking

It was soooooo hot today at work. There was no air-conditioning on the 1st floor. The air was thick and dry. The 2nd - 6th floors had cool air. The temperature outside reached a high of 77 degrees however inside it felt like 90! Ugh... It made us all feel sluggish and our customers didn't like it either.

I finally hired a full-time person to take the Sunday - Thursday shift which hopefully means I can take back my Sunday/Monday days off... He started today and worked for 4.5 hours. It's a bit overwhelming for newcomers as there is a lot of information to take in, however he said he was fine with the information so far... He probably will not be left on his own for a week or two... We met on a benefit committee 3 years ago. He has no retail experience however he's got an outgoing personality and is raring to go.

Tomorrow is Easter and the store is closing at 5pm, thank goodness. At least this way I will only be 2 hours late for Easter dinner. I just baked a chocolate chip cake. Dad is baking an apple pie! We will have lotsa dessert tmrw.

It's time for me to turn out my cake from the pan.
