Just so you know

Since generally when I speak about my job it is to complain about it, I thought I would dedicate a post as to why I love my job. Just so that I can assure you that I am not completely miserable when I go to work, since I know you have been fretting about that since my last post about Cold Stone.

Reasons why working at Cold Stone is amazing.
1. Free Ice Cream. Everytime I work. A-Mazing.
Actually, what I should say is that my friends and roommates think this is A-Mazing. as they are the ones who get all my free ice creams. It's how I get and keep friends....
Really, I eat plenty of samples at the store to keep me full and satisfied. It is almost ridiculous the amount of samples I take.

2. My co-workers are some of the funniest people I have ever met and as proof, here is a joke they told me the other night:
Why do melons have such good weddings?
Because they can't elope!
HA!

Also today when a Kelly Clarkson song came on, my co-worker Matt pumped his fist in the air and yelled yes! Then he declared his love for Kelly Clarkson to me, and proceeded to sing along with the whole song.

Hilarious, hilarious people.

3. It is always fun to serve ice cream to people that are VERY excited to be getting some. They laugh, they cheer, they can't stop smiling. It is extremely entertaining to watch. Also, these unusually happy people tend to compliment you quite a lot about what a fabulous ice cream mixer you are. It is a great time for the both of us.

4. It allowed me to have the following conversation with my Grandpa Toolson yesterday:
G:Where do you work again?
J: Cold Stone Creamery
G: and what do you do there?
J: I serve ice cream to people
G: Ohh, do you get to eat the ice cream too?
J: Yeah, we get free ice creams every time we work.
G: So how much do you weigh?
J: Ummm...Grandpa I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to ask a woman that.
G: (giggling to himself) OK fine, have you gained weight since working there?
J: What? No.
G: Ok. That's good
J: Yeah thanks Grandpa.
(that was actually a blatant lie to my grandfather, but come on! who asks people that!?)

5. It allows me to see people. Although they may only be visiting me for the free ice creams... still, it's nice to feel loved. Also, it allows me to not work for a few minutes while I chat up my friends.

6. I am a manager. Ultimate power!

In conclusion, I love working at Cold Stone.
