Friday, September 10, 1999
Kids were a little annoying this morning. Spencer acted up,
didn't want to go to school. Little girl sipped her juice loudly,
played with the water, fusst,fust, fussst. All in all they are
great but need a little more regimentation to get ready for
school more regularly. Phoned the orthodontist's office regarding the two kids' teeth. They have an appointment for the 20 th of
September. Dad said he'd pay for it. That's cool, I didn't know
where I would find the cash anyway to do that.
The day was pretty well hell by the time I got home. I felt like everybody at work wanted a tampon, NOW! One guy complaining about his working late night on Friday nights, because he has a girlfriend that needs to see him.
The dishwasher was sticking around after work, drinking beer at the bar, then asking for food after his shift is over. Yes this is the same little $%#@^&* that blames me for him becoming a porker. It must be due to his lack of exercise at work. He seems to enjoy sitting, drinking pop, eating and talking more than work. Things have changed with him since he started working here.
An acquaintance of my wife's was in with her fat German husband. The only funny part of the night was that they were seated at a curved table that is bolted to the floor. They must have been shoe-horned into that seat. He is a "chef" trained in Germany and currently working at one of the wineries in Niagara. He seemed stiff and stodgy. Very old school...not very employable with the company. He left the waiter less than 5 % tip. Oh well, perhaps I was supposed to take care of their bill... I don't remember saying anything like that.
The manager seemed upset with the world as well. Stress was the word of the day. Even my sous-chef didn't seem happy. I felt like I was placating people, smoothing things out and all, till I left at two. I had basically punched out at eleven though. New/old cook's first day today was a bit scary. We weren't that busy and the pass station was %^$#@@$*(!. Hopefully it was just a bad day all around
The girl who flirts with me was also in, with her girlfriend and some other people. She was OK but her friend seemed to be on a mission. Oh well, hope that Saturday goes better.
Home?
Wednesday?
Thursday?
or find out if Saturday was any better?
