Turns out, I worked for Jesus
I used to make and sell the staple of any balanced Canadian diet – donuts. As such, one would assume that my manager had an experience of, say, baking, perhaps even management. Alas, no. He was plucked from obscurity for the job because he was a down-on-his-luck Baptist minister. He was a man without a flock. What is such a lamb of God to do without a purpose? That lamb was to BAKE.

It became clear, however, that he was flockless for a multitude of reasons. Mental instability was one, the other was that he was never ordained - in fact, he could hardly read. He believed that he had a direct connection to God, and God would often help him manage this donut shop. God, however, was also a piss-poor manager.

I could run through tales of mismanagement, racism and long hours, but that’s been done already. Instead, I’ll leave you with this: my boss quit his job as a bakery manager so he could set up his own cult based on Christian Identity. Last I heard, my old bakery boss was the second coming of Christ calling for an end-of-times race war.

Had I known that I worked for Jesus, I would have turned up on time. My soul is TOTALLY not saved.

He...I mean, Jesus...
He once got drunk and missed his shift, then tried to make me work a 24 hour (!!) shift under threat of firing.

He used to give free donuts out to this man www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2004/winter/return-of-the-pastor.

I once received third degree burns on my arms; he wrapped them in cellophane and masking tape, then made me finish my shift.

DONE, DONE AND DONE.
