Not long after the interview and once I had changed into the uniform I was ready to call this donut lady. But just before I did she was right in front of me "ready for the day huh? And how I guessed? Well I got nothing else better to do them sit in the shade. I only did this so it could pay me, not the best choice of jobs but gets you a better reputation then being a fast food worker. Hah! Anyways follow me!" I started following donut down muddy paths (which ruined these new-ish shoes) passing other fields with workers in them. "So what's your name newbie?"
" blueberry! "
"Nice, newbie."
" I said my name was blueberry-"
"Whatever you say newbie"
"Are you even listening to me?!"
" nope"
I sighed and she chuckled "I'm only playing with you don't worry about it blueberry"
" she always calls every new person a newbie! " came a farmer.
"Here we are" we stopped at a field filled with blue plants and they seemed so shiny and...
"Go on then! Darling I get it looks beautiful but believe me it gets worse for you if your waiting around. you don't wanna get fired on your first day now do you? And the harder you try the nicer I'll seem . Yes I may seem mean but I am not I've just done this too much before. Trust me."

I plowed through the field pulling out each bean from its stalk. They looked so tasty! Like jelly beans but 5 x bigger! What a dream! But I still didn't eat one and carried on... on... and on. Then I noticed the donut helper to be playing with some sort of dog. A donut dog! It was very adorable to see. I had the urge to go and give it more attention but instead I carried on. The sun felt blazing and I wasn't even half way done. It must have been an hour or so but I really couldn't tell. "Hey wanna snack newbie?"
" Sure, what do you have?"
"Snacks in transparent boxes. In a trolley of course."
" yeah but what kind of snacks? "
"Nice ones"
She reached out and grabbed a little container "take it or leave it"
"OoOoOo a mystery" and I put my hands out and took the container from her. Inside where some biscuits, A miniature version of the plant I was harvesting and some strawberry slices "you can eat up and then vamos."
" Vamos? English please? "
"Go. Vamõs means lets go"
"Oh. Okay thank you bye!" I sighed again . AGAIN I need like a therapist or something idk.

Anyways I kept going until I finished my duties. "Well done. You seemed quicker then others. I mean most just give up unless their desperate."
" must not be the best company to work in then. "
"I mean..." The donut dog came up to her " hey buddy! " she bent down to stroke him. And of course I bent down too. "What's it's name?"
" Donut"
I giggled
"No it's sprinkles, I saved him from a fire once. I almost lost this poor thing"
"Your a hero! Wow!"
" Hehe" she giggled and looked away embarrassed. "Right come on then" she put sprinkles one her shoulder before we head off. I talked to carrot about today and said I had finished my duties and then I set off to muffin's and dandelion's place. Just in time for dinner. I was literally starving!
