Worked as a bakers assistant two summers in a row while in high school. (Scandinavia) We went to school on Saturdays back then ('80's) so had 3 months of summer holidays. Work two months, then a month off with a pocket full of change. Went to work at 02:00 got off at 09:00. I had dinner with my family, then went to bed at around 19:00. That's when I started drinking coffee on our first break at 04:30 with a still steaming bun lathered with butter. Great times. Cheers Harriet and good luck.

Great looking little film. I'm glad the job works for Harriet. My good friend's journey to becoming a baker is somewhat similar. Gifted home baker got out of internet work to go to baking school, gets degree, starts work in a great upscale bakery but unlike Harriet, must leave after a couple years to save his sanity. He described it like a big bottomless pit that you never fill and all the variables which once seemed like interesting scientific challenges in day to day baking, became quite annoying. When starvation for a social life reached it's peak, it was time to go. This is hard work for a very specific type of personality and I'm grateful to those that can do this important (and delicious) work because you couldn't pay me enough to endure what bakers must go through.

I love the way this is filmed and edited. I really feel at peace and as if I'm just another part of her life while watching this.

Really enjoyed getting an insight into someone else's life. I really got a sense of the rhythm of her day which is so far from my own life. Nice work!

The secret of success is to like your job!

This is awesome. But, after 30 years in Baking. There is nothing romantic about being awake at that time of the morning. Well, there probably is, but it was beaten out of me a looooooooong time ago. 🤣🤣

What a great view into seeing how an individual is able to find their life rhythm and how everything is able to be moulded around this. Harriet has chosen a challenging job and applies herself to it with love and dedication. And applies the same love and dedication to her family.

As an Asian American with immigrant parents, I understand the pressure to be a professional and lead my life in a very "scripted for success" kind of way. As a creative person, I find it not only hard and incredibly boring to think about what my "planned career" will be, but also kind of depressing. I can't stop being myself. Great to see this video.

I relate to her on so many levels. I have cooked professionally, and the teamwork with solitary work was me favorite thing about it. A perfect mix for me. And I also have a high functioning autistic son and her discussion about him was straight out of my life. This film was beautiful.

I was that kid watching the PBS cooking shows too 😁

i like the tranquility in the scenes, where ambient sounds local to harriet's life are allowed to saturate. cinematography served the story really well, the ending shot ties everything up. love harriet's narration too, this feels sincere and warm, thank you for this series.

Harriet, you are frikin awesome! I wish only the best in life for you and your family.

I think your son would appreciate praise for the positive things he does. Perhaps a smile would help. I understand you want him to succeed. I hope he feels good about himself.

The cinematography is on another level. Looking forward to this series for sure.

Joseph Torres um.....are you a nurse? Actually all that goes on 24 hours a day, friend. We often did have some quiet time in the middle of the night, but not always. Patients deteriorated, we had codes, got admissions, etc. I worked Oncology mostly and some ICU. Most wound care was done on days, but sometimes not. And my unit was Bone Marrow Transplant/ Lymphoma/ Myeloma. We also gave chemo, sometimes emergent when the patient presented that way. It still beat day shift! We seldom had to discharge anyone, which became an increasingly complex and unwieldy process. And the nursing station wasn’t jammed with people fighting over the computers. Whatever shift, nursing is a great profession. I retired in May, a little earlier than planned, because of Covid. My hospital is a major medical center, and we had to open multiple Covid units, mostly ICU’s. We were being redeployed to work there and I knew that it was too much risk for a 64 yr old nurse.....and that the Covid patients deserved the best, youngest and strongest nurses to help save them. Stay safe everyone. Be well. Pray for the Covid patients, their families and their health care providers. ❤️🙏🇺🇸🙏❤️

This was very empowering watching for me.

Not finished with the film, but 5 minutes in and I had to comment! So sublime. I absolutely love the filming style, the narrative. Observational filmmaking gold!

This is really beautifully made! I love the throughline of time with that ticking clock music in the background and the exploration of a day in the life. (or multiple days)

Totally understand what she meant about “me time for solitude”. Us adults spend so much of our time worrying and tending to people from work, family members, school life and a few other million things that by the end of the day, were so exhausted.

Love your story! Loved hearing how motivated and, intelligent you were from such a young age. So glad you don’t work alone at least but, I hope you bring protection with you as you jog!

It’s hard because on the outside he looks normal so people don’t expect him to forget so easily, be so absent minded. Some even wondered if he did on purpose, malicious intent but that boy doesn’t have a bad bone in his body. He’s a teen now. It gets better.

I did a few night shifts at a hospital as a cleaner, remember sitting at the bus stop at the front having a cup of tea and something to eat on a hot summer morning about 2am. Strangely quiet and nice. It was A and E so it got a bit busy. The best part was going home when everyone else was coming to work, then showering and getting into a nice clean bed

I stumbled upon this, and it was a great watch!
