candylandThe last three days at work have been INSANE.
FRIDAY: Was scheduled from ten to four. At three o'clock, they realized that they only scheduled one person to work the evening shift (with the cook), and that one person was someone from the front (i.e. someone who had never worked back in our department before). So I was asked to stay late, and read "asked" as "Chong basically told me I was, no matter what I had to say about it."
Then around a quarter to four we got a call from a lady wanting to order Chinese for her cheerleaders before the game. I spent a good few minutes on the phone with this lady going through different options. She ordered five dinners for four: ten pints o' rice, twenty pints o' entree, and forty appetizers. So the cook did his thing, I served up that whole order, and the poor temp handled a surprisingly heavy rush. The lady gushed over me for being helpful, which made me feel pretty dang awesome :D I got home at six.
SATURDAY: Went from nine to three before I realized that I had an hour left to work and had not stopped once for air. Promptly took a break. We also had the Nile River spring up in the middle of our department, courtesy of something broken (as usual) in the stove area. That was fun. When I left, Manager was on the floor with a wet-vac. I was really, really glad to get out of there.
Also spent almost ten minutes talking with a customer, an older man, who wanted to order a pizza. Went over prices, toppings, types of crust...you name it, he asked about it. He wound up ordering a medium thin-crust half pepperoni, half supreme. Then he insisted on shaking my hand and thanked me repeatedly for being so helpful.
SUNDAY: Had an interesting encounter with a lady from the kitchen today in the bathroom, of all places. She asked if I was looking for a different job. I replied a bit indifferently (disillusioned? Me?), and she then proceeded to tell me--not ask, but tell me--that my parents were surely paying for my car and everything. I smiled sweetly and told her in the nicest manner possible that I pay all my own bills. She stalked off, muttering something.
I'm a little bit wary. This is the woman who once tried to tell me that I had the time wrong on an Italian delivery, and when I told her that Manager had told me to go at this time, proceeded to go back inside and call the kitchen manager to complain. He told her to worry about her own stuff.
Otherwise, just rushed around. WHERE DID ALL THE BUSY-NESS COME FROM?? But I got most of what needed to be done finished before I had to leave. And I left![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kaitodoushi a nice note in the Italian notebook that included a quote from Portal and a crappy drawing of fire with a speech bubble that said "I am pretty!"
Have I mentioned that my mom and I have been playing through Cooking Mama on the Wii? Because we have. And Mom really sucks at the Wii, which makes it all the more hilarious. At least half a dozen times in a given session, we are both guaranteed to be sprawled on the floor, laughing until we have tears coming out of our eyes. We also call Mama names, and just have fun. Dad actually joined us for a bit tonight. That's an improvement. NEXT TIME WE WILL GET HIM TO PLAY!
This is why I have not accomplished any writing today XD Whoops~ I REGRET NOTHING! :D
I have the day off tomorrow. I'm going to run down to the DoT and get my driver's license renewed, as it expires on Thursday. I know there's a thirty day grace period and whatnot, but I'd just as soon get it done now and not have to worry about it again for a few years. I'm also stopping by one of the craft stores to look at some yarn for a project--I miss my knitting ;o;
...I think that about covers it. So I'll shut up now! z(^o^)b
