Starting Over

This weekend was a good one. A long one, but it was good.

Friday night I went to see Madea's Family Reunion with Felicitas. A great movie that came out just in time cuz I was having a terrible day.

Yesterday I worked 10 1/2 hours straight. Damn my want for money. But after work I went out bowling with Greg, Joel, Efrain, and Mike. We bowled for 4 games and I went 4-0. Well technically 3-0-1 if you count the last game where I ended up spotting Joel 100 pins. The first and last game we bowled regular and I got a 201 and a 167. The second game we bowled left handed and somehow I got a 154. For the third game we bowled with both hands and I got a 112. Afterwards we took it old school and hit up IHOP at like 2am. Good times.

Not enough sleep though.

I had to wake up this morning for work. I got there early and was going to get a smoothie, but Robeks wasn't open yet. There was a huge bulk order going out to Lakewood so I clocked in early and helped with that. The total for it was over $700 dollars. Work wasn't too busy this morning, but it was rough because for some reason they never schedule enough people for Sunday's. And now people are starting to leave and quit so it's going to be even worse. I stayed around after I finally got off and ate there. Then I took the test for drahma. Drahma is the position where you put the meat and vegetables on the "drahma" plates and hand them to the wok cooks. I aced the test so that was good. I have to take it one more time though so they know it wasn't a fluke. Instead of going home and sleeping though I decided to get some practice in. I went back in the kitchen and drahma-ed the vegetables while the regular did the meat. We got very busy so it was some good practice. Then pantry got backed up so they asked me to go help over there. Pantry is the part of the kitchen that does all the appetizers like the lettuce wraps, soups, spring rolls, crab wontons, etc... I ended up learning a lot over there so that was cool. I got to cook plenty of chicken lettuce wraps, which was fun once I got the technique down. That's all I wanted people to order so I could keep cooking using the woks.

One of my managers is a lil b*t*h that needs to get beat for what he did today. We had one guy bussing all morning, busting his ass, that stayed late to help. This manager was gone somewhere most of the morning and when he gets back he goes to help on one table and takes a $5 tip off the table and keeps it. NO other manager has ever kept a tip. When the busser gets off he goes to buy him some food, but the manager says he'll buy the food. Then proceeds to pull out the $5 he took off the table and hands it to him. Tonight a customer asks to speak to a manager because she wanted to tell them how good the employees were and how thankful she was for their help. She hands the manager a $20 and tells him to split it up between the employees. He pocketed the $20 and walked off. I might have to slap him if he tries to tell me to do something from now on.
