Ok, sounds good. What is the routine of a baker? Do you have to get up early, or how does that work?

With the bread, you want to get the bread out and fresh as early as possible.

几乎各个方面都不太好。尤其是我不喜欢工作时间。主要来说我不喜欢面包师的工作时间。

The actual work was not bad but it was the hours and the pay wasn't so good.
其实这份工作并不差，但是工作时间和薪水不太好。
