I’m A Baker I Don’t Stop When I’m Tired I Stop When I’m Done
A shirt my father picked up for me that rings quite true. People think baking is easy but it is a trades job still. We work long hot hours often in the middle of the night and cannot take breaks at a whim as production is time sensitive. When things go wrong in a bakery it is freaking chaos and new people learn real fast how hard bakers need to work to maintain efficiency!

I didn't know you were a baker, but now that I say that I remember a freewrite poem you wrote about baking.
I worked in bakeries for twenty years. The bagels were both the best and the worst - I loved making them, the meditative forming of them, the slow overnight rise, the predawn dunk in a boiling bath, the bake one side on boards, the reach into a blazing hot over to flip them onto a stone slab to finish baking, the baskets of hot bagels whisked out to the waiting throngs.
But if any part of that went wrong, all heck broke loose. People must have their bagels in time to make the 7:05!
Now that I am retired, I hardly ever bake a thing. It's too much work!
I like your shirt.
Yeah brother started baking in 2008 at country grocer then ended up at Portofino bakery a giant warehouse style using industrial machinery about seven years ago. I totally agree with you the process can be therapeutic and part of the reason why I like it is because of that but when any single step goes wrong the whole process goes to hell! Only someone like yourself would understand, 20 years in the industry you would’ve seen everything possible! The fact about baking a lot of people don’t know is a lot of the best ideas and creations of come from mistakes that have tried to be saved and come up with something completely new!
Luckily working in the warehouse I am now there is no consumer demand to worry about other than the timely sent off of our delivery drivers which is scheduled with a fair bit of play on our behalf the pressure comes down on packaging!
I am the same way I hardly ever bake outside of work and when I do it is nothing like what I do inside the workplace, much more relaxed!
