Chocolate

Before reading this run to your kitchen and grab a Hershey bar (everyone should have some handy). Put said Hershey bar into a small pot on the stove. Turn correct burner to medium and watch Hershey bar melt. Close you eyes and record the smell of the melted chocolate. Remove the chocolate from heat and return to you computers.

Now that you have returned to you computer close your eyes again and recall the smell of the melted chocolate. That is what Hershey, P.A. smells like. Not just the Gift Shop or the tour ride but the entire town. You can spell it from the moment you spot the Hershey Cocoa barberry bushes outside of the factory.

Today the girls left school (for a family situation) and we took a family trip to Hershey. We toured the mock plant that they have made and walked to the obscenely large gift shop. Trisha had to leave Hershey and go to volleyball practice so Kenny, Pernille and I walked rows and rows and rows of old cars at the car show in front of the Giant Center (Expo Center only bigger with better parking and a real hockey team).

I also had my first day at work. I had to ask to leave early (getting off to a good start) so that we could go to Hershey. I had fun on the first day. I feel like I will never get the hang of the register or the wrapping but I'm sure I will. We gift wrap everything for free!!! and everything in the store has it's own button on the register. Don't be surprised if Christmas presents come from a country gift shop this year.

The name of the store is Extra Special but I feel like I will never get the hang of that. Once I answered the phone but was distracted and couldn't remember the name of the store so I panicked and hung up... I have a feeling that could get me fired if I continue.
