Some days...

some days i cannot believe the amount of absurd things that happen at work, things i couldn't even begin to make up if i really tried. Like today, when one of the wait staff called into work due to recently discovering that he had worms. i've heard many an excuse; the dishonest, the absurd (i myself called in late after the Lady and i discovered her car was stolen one morning, though actually it was towed due to unpaid parking tickets from her driveway), calling in drunk to work, you name it. But worms?

or like the other day when a line cook tried to kill a dishwasher with a sandwich. Xerxes (the disher) happens to be a tad overweight, and has a penchant for protein. I guess technically its not attempted murder as he wasn't force feeding him, but trying to induce a heart attack is another thing. That sandwich was beyond loaded with all the worst heart-clogging ingredients, and he ate it all... in about five minutes. and then proceeded to eat two hard-boiled eggs and a chicken liver later that day.

they say skinny cooks can't be trusted. neither can overweight dishers. watch your walk-ins people.

some days... its days like these that keep me coming back for more.
