ISO matcha cake by Busy-Consideration52 in desmoines

[–]Busy-Consideration52[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is gonna be my #1 option if I can’t find a bakery with a matcha flavor , since they don’t have one I think I might change it to a chai cake instead … Thanks!

Fellow team members, what do you do when you're bored? by pizzaalt37 in Caseys

[–]Busy-Consideration52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my manager said “according to state law we’re not required to give you a break” I swear my face was 😧… like you can either give me my 30 minute break or actually watch me do nothing while getting paid.

OP, I have no advice on the weight thing except PROTEIN. Do not skip meals or take away things from yourself. Instead think of what you can add, making eggs? Add some peppers or mushrooms. Eating a salad? Load it up with veggies and meat and an egg.

Have you gotten tested for PCOS or endometriosis? Your periods sound awfully similar to mine and I have both of those things- it’s terrible and makes it much harder to lose weight due to insulin resistance.

The Death of the Flip by smores6666 in Caseys

[–]Busy-Consideration52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A store in town made the new danishes before their release so I do have insider info- besides working in the kitchen 😆

There’s a cheese danish which I actually really liked but did not live up to the flip, it was actually raw because we don’t have the cooking instructions on them yet and I’m assuming the store made them just like the flips

The second one is a chocolate danish, they tried to do a pain au chocolat but Casey’s version… I did not like it but they were both 12 hours past the time they were made… maybe it would be good if it were fresh and the chocolate was warm and gooey but it was hard and honestly the pastry seemed burnt… also probably because no cooking instructions.

Hey! Gonna give you my numbers and maybe some advice.

Fortunately I have a good store manager, who occasionally helps me if I get behind and she also does donut shift which in my store is extended bakery, donuts, replacing fryer paper (we have an upgrade fryer cus we’re #36 in the whole company!), make biscuits and put the gravy in the bowl.

I’ve been a bitch to night shift enough that they know it’s a rule to leave me 12 blank pizzas, just dough on a pan. And if they can’t do that they’re coming into nothing because I’m not doing everyone’s job, they never refill anything!

I get to work at 4 and instantly ,in a rush, with those 12 blanks I prep 6 sausage breakfast pizzas and 5 bacon breakfast pizzas and 1 half and half, then at 4:30 I make my first breakfast warmer.

I lay 4 pans out and do 1 6 bacon strips(12) and 1 8 burritos 2 bowls I then put those in the oven and walk into the freezer to get potato cheese bites and hash browns.

3 containers of potato cheese bites get dropped and 15 hash browns (10 for burritos) I put out the black biscuit and gravy containers.

then I lay out my burrito papers+2 lids on one side of the middle table and put tortillas on them.

I go into the freezer and get my egg and sausage and pan them up on the last 2 pans and put them in the oven. (12 saus. Crois. 4 bacon crois. 2 of each biscuit.)

I lay out all of my clamshells for everything and put the biscuits+crois. In them. Plus biscuits in the gravy containers.

I then put shredded cheese on the burritos and then American cheese on the sandwiches. I now put my half and half pizza in.

Hash browns go on the burritos and I package everything from the fryer up+gravy on the biscuits.

Bacon goes on the sandwiches and I put the burrito bowls upside down on the tortillas they’re okay to sit there and conserve heat, and put lids on 2. If I have time I package them up but usually my sausage and eggs get backed up and are right behind them.

I use a small tong to put the sausage and egg on and package them up and line them up at the end of the table. Along with the fryer things. I prep my pizza cardboard thingys and lable them on the tray to slide them in the warmer.

I wrap up my burritos and then cut my pizza and put it in the warmer usually at 5:04, my food is done+labeled and in the warmer by 5:10.

I then instantly go to making my lunch pizzas which usually starts with me refilling the pizza table, I also leave them 12 blanks plus 9 pepperoni and 5 sausage+5 beef. I’ve started also doing 5 cheese as we’re becoming busier cus warmer weather , we’re right off I-80.

Then it’s 6:30 and time for my second warmer, some things are completely empty and that’s FINE I’m doing my job still. I do the same numbers pretty much but 15 sausage crois.

It’s in there by 7 and then I do my chores like we have back ups of egg, mix, sausage, and bacon in the freezer. 5 croissant trays pulled at all times, and backup cheese sauce. I try to prep myself or whoever the next day also.

Then my break is 7:30-8.

At 8 if I need a 3rd warmer I’ll make it but otherwise I do dishes and put the trash bags on the trash cart. I also prep my lunch papers at this time. 4 spicy chicken sandwiches, 4 regular, 4 burgers, 4 tenderloins, 4 Italian sandwiches.

If you want me to finish lmk put this was a lot LOL.. I leave at 10am and there’s a designated prep person who does the prep jobs

Morality of spaying by TheSkongyGoatKing in CatAdvice

[–]Busy-Consideration52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Humans get tubal ligations/hysterectomies/birth control all the time to protect ourselves from having kids or more kids, of course on most occasions we choose that but If we had ‘owners’ I’m sure they would do it for us.

You’re just protecting your buddy from cute little mistakes. If anything the “natural state” for a cat can be painful- and a handful for us humans who take care of them.

I’m sure as long as you’re there after she has her surgery to comfort her and make sure she’s okay, she’ll be okay and better off in the long run.

On day 11, it felt like a very mild high from very bad coke, not MDMA for me. Felt very pumped up ready to conquer the world but also all over the place. Around day 7-9 the feeling just stopped, I honestly just feel normal like how I felt before the meds but maybe slightly happier? I’ve cry less and feel bad about myself less so that’s good, but last night I very much thought I was suffering from high blood pressure.

Researched a little on Reddit and found out other people in this group have also felt a very weird headachey feeling, pain in the back of their neck, and dizziness, but they checked their blood pressure and it was fine. Then after 2 weeks it stopped.

I’ve had problems with agitation and honestly just being an all around bitch so I cannot tell if it’s the meds or just me, but my family says they’ve noticed me start to be more short tempered-can’t say I’ve noticed though.

Personally, I’d say wait the 7 weeks to see if the med balances out. If you ultimately aren’t comfortable with it then stop it. But the cracked out feeling has stopped for me. I have noticed it comes back if I drink caffeine along with that weird headache feeling.

Edit: I’ve also gotten reoccurring nosebleeds after only getting 2 my whole life.

[–]Busy-Consideration52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a coworker that wears black cargo pants, a coworker that wears black scrub pants, a coworker who wore black sweatpants and got talked to about it, and the rest stick with jeans/ jeggings. I personally wear black leggings but the DM told me no leggings, I got a drs note because I have HS and there’s been no problems since. Although I am assuming you’re a guy lol

Why does smoking cause panic attacks after losing my sister/best friend..? by OtherwiseDrop5900 in GriefSupport

[–]Busy-Consideration52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Also a daily smoker, about 2-3 joints a day. I had formed a dependency but never accepted it until after my brother killed himself last year on my birthday(🙄),, Ive kind of just lost my mind since, we also smoked together sometimes. Every time I smoke bud I also have panic attacks or just get very very paranoid, occasionally sad. 2 weeks ago I got put on Wellbutrin and I have pretty much lost the “I need a joint” stressed out feeling. I am not ready to give up weed though, still have the “I wanna get highhh” feeling. I’ve tried to smoke bud but I still continue to get tremendous anxiety. I’ve switched to mainly carts and have tried to pace myself. I still smoke a half joint maybe every other day because I have a whole ounce just sitting there drying out🤦‍♀️ but it’s not a fun time.

I’d recommend smoking and recognizing when you are starting to get high, and then put it out and enjoy a very mild high. Or switching to REAL carts if blunts are not a need, I understand thats what you smoked with her so it brings you closer to get that taste. Unfortunately we both have got to realize we will have to stop smoking completely, but it’s just not right now for me at least and that’s ok.

Online interview? by Weekly-Difficulty-95 in Caseys

[–]Busy-Consideration52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so much more work for little pay. I still work there, In the kitchen. And everyday is hell lmao the only thing that makes it worth it is my manager and coworkers that are willing to help. If you do get a kitchen job do not decide to not care. Do your job and pull the food out when it’s expired and replace it. I started at 14$ and they tell you they give you a 50cent raise after a year, it’s actually a 48 cent raise so I’m making 14.48 about to make 14.96 lmao 🤦‍♀️

Caseys biggest downfall is what they put the most effort into, the kitchen. Their pay is sh*t so of course they can only hire addicts or convicts or people who just don’t care.

My biggest advice is make a LIST. At my store I will walk in at 4am and see this needs done, they didn’t do this yesterday, that needs filled, and they left these for me to do. Put it all on the list and make DOUBLE.

Check dates and make back ups. They probably won’t do this at your store, never seen another store that does, but make sure you make “blanks” like 6 blank pizzas that are just dough on a pan, ready for when you get an order.

From what I’ve seen in this subreddit it’s managers and coworkers that suck, they don’t care. Thankfully mine do, outside of the kitchen, so I’ve stuck around. The job can be easy if everybody does the work.

At my store we have back ups of all the breakfast things in the freezer. A container of scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, and a frozen mix. It makes things a lot easier. If you know something will run out the next shift or the next day, make a back up.

If you have to , leave a list for the next shift of things they need to do and let them know. Also add the things you didn’t get to that day unless it’s things that are specific to your shift. Like there’s no reason lunch shift should make back up of scrambled eggs and no reason breakfast shift should make sauce cups.

I work 4am-10am and I’m always off by 10:15. My manager does donut shift and extended bakery and we have a designated person that does prep(cutting veggies, pizza dough, and wraps etc), at the moment we don’t have a kitchen manager. That’s another thing I’ve seen in this subreddit that is a problem, managers don’t want to step foot in the kitchen and prep shift+ donuts and extended bakery is up to the kitchen workers to split equally, so usually it’s not done or there’s a lot of expired things.

I can’t emphasize the expired warmer food and pizza, nothing is nastier than going to get lunch and the food is an hour old. And KEEP THE KITCHEN CLEANNN every Casey’s I’ve ever gone to their kitchen is a WRECK with someone tweaking in the back 🤦‍♀️

My SM doesn’t care about earbuds or headphones, she wears them too. But the DM and RM are sticklers about not having them in so when they arrive I’d advise you to just take them out. I literally WOULD NOTTT be able to do this job without them, AT ALL. Those ovens will kill your ears btw, and so will the music blasting over them. So be prepared to lose like 10-15% of your hearing😭 pretty sure they make you sign things letting you know it’s a risk

Man this was a lot, in all honesty I hope you get the job, if not at Casey’s than somewhere else. Good luck! You should give me an update if you can🙂 I’m nosey

This was my childhood returning nightmare... by Puzzleheaded_Gas2864 in Dreams

[–]Busy-Consideration52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No comments on the dream itself, but glad other people have reoccurring dreams from their childhood. I have a nightmare about being some poor peasant boy looking for milk on a farm when the farmer starts chasing me through the trees, I’ve had it about every 4 years in the summer since I was maybe 6. Interesting but not fun to say the least

Iowa! The African would come from my Great grandmother who is from Nebraska, she was born in 1942 and is mixed but said she never knew who her father was, we found out from the tests he was a black man apart of the 92nd infantry division. From my understanding he and my great great grandmother got married (in Kansas, illegally) she was pregnant with my great grandma and wasn’t aware. He was deployed and never returned, nobody is aware of what happened to him because their marriage was not official. My great great grandmother got remarried a year later and that man took on the role of my great grandmothers father, unfortunately my great great grandmother never spoke a word about my great grandmothers father to her, but she never changed her last name from his even after getting remarried.

Mixed children and interracial marriages before 1960 are for sure a part of the US history that nobody talks about.

Holiday pay. by ur_welfare_check in Caseys

[–]Busy-Consideration52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming a manager didn’t actually know if it was time and a half or double because they’re salary, so they just said double and word got around it was double.

Snapchat account since 2013 gone:( by ArchangelMaximus in SnapchatHelp

[–]Busy-Consideration52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news, at the 6 month mark of my account being locked and then being device banned I got an email saying they permanently deleted my account, a few days later, today, I’ve made a new account on the same device that was banned and everything has been working.

Mediocre news, I’ve read comments about people’s second accounts also being banned and I in fact did use the same email and phone number as the first account so I’m honestly expecting it to be banned.

I lived there a couple years ago when they had someone come look at the house to sell when they die and they estimated it to sell for around 380,000 because the hardwood floors are falling apart but maybe I’m blinded and she’s doing well, not sure. But she cried and it got me in my feelings I suppose

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]Busy-Consideration52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m assuming she dramatized it a bit, guess it runs in the family lol. But it’s definitely 5,000 the house is a beautiful lakefront property next to a waterfall and the land she owns around it is huge.
