Great Feats Of Meats

(I’ve recently started working the opening shift once a week, which involves arriving at six am to organise and fill the shaved meats. By the time backup arrives at eight am, I’ve made everything look perfect. Note that I require a LOT of coffee that early in the morning.)

Coworker: “Good morning, dear!”

Me: “Good morning! Look! Did I do a good job?”

Coworker: “Oh, hey, it looks incredible! Did you colour code the meats?”

Me: “I may have.”

(The next week:)

Coworker: “Good morning!”

Me: “Hello!” *long pause* “Hey, tell me again how good I did.”

Coworker: “It looks amazing; they should have you on every morning!”

Me: “Aw, shucks.”

(The week after that:)

Coworker: “Good morning! Don’t worry, I know the drill. Oh, my goodness, the meats look just so good!”
