On the other hand...

I've finished my shift for the night and today's breads are sitting downstairs on the cooling racks. I'm very tired and desperately need to go home and sleep, but my tiredness is working against me--it is so very nice just to sit here, as opposed to getting on all of my warm layers and walking home. After I post this, I hope, I will have gathered the needed strength.

In the meantime--my breads are lovely: well-shaped and large, noticably larger than most of the loaves my night baking staff have been turning out. This is somewhat bad, because at this point in my career my main task is to create great bread-bakers, not bread. And yet, it is nice sometimes to demonstrate that I still have what it takes to knock it out of the park.

And she said, "Let there be bread" and bread there was. And the Master Baker looked down upon it and found it was good.
