Not so bad

Work was not so bad tonight... there was a huge fiasco Sunday morning & the owner yelled at the bus boy who is the son of the coffee lady, sister of the hostess, son of the kitchen/night manager... soon to be brother-in-law to a waitress.... so he pissed the mother off, & the whole damn clan quit. 5 important people-gone. I miss Anna. (The hostess). :confused

Her dad came back tonight I'm sure after some major butt kissing... but the rest are not coming back. So the owner has been "hostessing" since Sunday... nonstop from 5 am to 10:30 pm. It's very strange.

Anyhow...he's been in a pretty good mood. I don't know if he's medicated or on the verge of a nervous breakdown or what... but he's being so nice it's scary. You know?! Like a cobra waiting to strike...

I think the funniest thing though is how we all call him "your boss" to eachother. The cooks... "Ulie (yeah Ulie) here your boss ordered this" Me: "Oh, you made that for your boss? How sweet..." You know. :gurn

Mr. Canary head jerkface

Ok, this guy...this old guy comes in yesterday. Him & his wife come in a lot. He's the dollar dance man. He'll leave you a dollar tip. (woo) & not on the table. He'll call you over & do this wiggle dance thing with it...waving it in the air like a prized possession making you try to grab it. Right? Them half the time he'll drop it so you have to bend over & get it. Old phuckin' perv. Oh yeah, & his hair looks just like a cockatoo. No lie.

Anyhow. they come in. Ivana says "Jewels, you have a table in smoking". I go over, see them & say to her "you suck" man. Anyhow, he wants a cup of vegetable soup. An order of mashed potatoes, coffee, & an order of stuffing. ?! ok. His wife says, "go get that & then I'll know what I want by the time you get back" ok. So, yeah, "go get that". That means all that. Not just one thing right? Whatever. I come back with the soup, stuffing, & mashed potatoes. He says,"See? I told you she'd bring it all at once!" There I am...like flabbergasted. So I say all nicey nice, "Oh, I'm sorry. I can take it back & set it under the heating lamps for you until you finish your soup" He says "I don't care! Do whatever you want!" ok, so he's pissed. She says...I'll take his potatoes, & you can bring me more gravy & another order of potatoes for him. Ok?! So I hand her the potatoes. Right? Are you keeping track? He's got soup, she's got potatoes. I have his stuffing & am going back for more gravy & another order of mashes potatoes.

I walk back out there with the stuff, set it down & walk away. Oh yeah, that's all they are having to eat btw... so about 5 minutes later, I grab the coffee pot & try & go over there & be nice... don't want to scare away customers or whatever. He says..."You never brought out my other order of mashed potatoes! What kind of waitress are you anyway? From the junkyard?!" I am like freaking out right? I look around the table, & sure as shit there's one order of mashed potatoes. WTF??!

So yeah, I said NOTHING to this man. I was ready to explode, but I just walked away. I walk over & am sooo pissed...telling Ivana what happened. She's like, I went over there & the lady kept scooting the bowl over by me, so I took it off their table. So there you have it. !@#$% So Ivana walks over there with me & explains to them that I did not forget the other potato, & the lady's like, yeah, it's not her fault. Whatever. I grab their bill, add on another mashed potato, & that's that. After they leave, I go over, & there's 56 cents on the table. 56 cents. I think next time they come in, I'm going to walk over there & put 56 cents on the table & tell him he forgot it last time & just walk away. Old fat stupid phucker. :irked

I feel like crap.

Heh. Funny, for a minute there that said "I feel like carp". Anyhow... I woke up 5 minutes before I had to leave yesterdaymorning...so it was not a good day. My work shirt was still wet. Oy.

Went to bed early & shut the ringer off...because I'm sick of people calling & waking me up early in the morning. Sure enough, if it had been on the "downstairs lady" would have called & woke me up to get her daughter up. Not. She busts in the house all "Juuuullllie!!!! It's Eiiiggghhhtttt O clock" Yeah, thanks. I Know that. Geeze. What am I time illiterate? I really need a door! Oh, yeah, we're getting a door. Believe me. With a lock. A big lock. Maybe 3.
