Life with "Ronald"

Ronald McDonald that is... If you didn't already know, I work at good ole' McDonalds! Sounds like the best job that any person could ever have, right?! 

Oh, sorry I was choking on my own sarcasm. To be utterly and completely honest, it's really not all that bad... most days. Actually, I kinda hate the aspect of dealing with rude, brutally mean and the occasional creepy customers. I also hate how digusting it is, in the sense of sweet tea spilling all over you and walking out of the store after your shift is over and feeling like a french fry yourself. Yeah, it's pretty gross, but it's bareable. Most days I really enjoy my job. Oddly enough, I really loved working the 4am shifts over the summer because that's when all the precious old people come in and they are always very nice and love to talk to us. I'm kinda a sucker for NICE old people and little kids, but who isn't? I love when people appreciate when I try to be chipper while taking orders and they tell me that I'm basically the bomb.com. That happens every once in a while and it always makes my day at work much better.

This is me... at work... everyday... so.. much.. excitement... Forrealz, I was pretty excited. Oh and I never wear that apron.

 The one thing I LOVE about my job is the people I work with. Work would suck without all my awesome co-workers. They love me despite the fact that I enjoy talking in ridicilous accents from time to time and that I'm just straight up odd.


Point and case with this picture! People accept my crazy.

 For instance, today I was handing out food in the drive-thru and I was talking to my co-worker beside me about the fact that the person bagging didn't put a straw in the bag, which is my pet peeve in drive-thru! SO, being the dramatic person I am turned very... sharply, I guess you could say, and I knocked over a large tea. The only thing me and my co-worker did was just laugh... and we cleaned up the mess and I said to her, "I'm really glad it was you that saw that and no one else." It's times like this that make me realize that I work with some pretty cool kids. I have made some really great friends from work, but I think the person I have become closest to is my own sista! Okay, sister... she's not much of a "sista" if you know what I'm saying. She is one the managers and we always end up lauging about something really ridiculous or when she isn't working and I am, I'll text her or send her pictures of what's going on. I don't think working at the Dee's would be the same without her, so when she leaves... I'm out. Maybe not, but you get my point. Basically the moral of this post is that working isn't so bad if you have the right people around you.


These two are some of my favorites. These are my 4am pals from this summer, Junelle and Gina. Gina has left us for some McDonalds in Cary and we miss her dearly. We love each other, though. :)

I almost forgot, it's kinda nice to see all the good looking young fellows in Boro come in the store... the whole 5 or so of them. lolz Some of the guys I work with aren't too hard to look at either, but only a couple. Anywho, that's I have to say... for now. Thanks for reading and come back soon!
