Oh What A Night

What a night. I got to be the dishwasher's bitch. Nothing screams Thirsty Thursday like oversized wet dish gloves, 200 degree water, slippery floors, a stack of bowls being knocked over and almost shattering all over the floor, and a stabbing hunger pang because I hadn't eaten all day.

My bad.

Not to mention I had to listen to crappy music because the radio was set to the country station. So I had to listen to country music for four.......fucking......hours..... It was driving me fucking insane. I HATE COUNTRY MUSIC. I would rather listen to NOTHING than listen to COUNTRY. UGH...*vomits*

It was good too, because my manager let me and some of the other dish slaves leave early, about twenty minutes early, maybe because we were a bit slower than usual. It was really sweet of him. :) And it was my record for how early I was allowed to leave post-dinner slam. WOO HOO!

Tomorrow morning I'm gonna be the Kunoichi Cook again (officially, because I never really stop being so, ever). And since it's Friday, I'm gonna set the radio to NOT COUNTRY and kick the lunch rush's ass.

Watch me own that grill like nobody's business.

Post-April Fool's Day

The managers at work thought it would be funny to write the customer count as twice what it actually was on April 1st. I thought it was pretty funny too, once I realized it was only a joke.

This weekend was boring. BORING. Everyone went home for Easter weekend so we were dead. Saturday night I spent unloading dishes. It was the only time I can ever remember being one of three people in the dish room. One guy loaded and two of us unloaded. On a normal night, we have at least twice that. I doubt that sort of thing will happen again for quite a long time. I'm only glad I was in the dish room. There are plenty of other things I could have been stuck doing that would have been far, far worse. :(

This morning I was cooking during the typical Monday lunch rush and my boss gave me a compliment about how I was keeping my work space really neat. That made me happy. I have been working really hard lately to keep the grill cleaner throughout the day because otherwise I have to go through hell trying to get all the crap off of it at once before I leave in the afternoon. It's definitely worth keeping up on it.

Looks like I'll be the dishwasher's bitch again on Thursday night. Favorite place on earth. ;)
