lunch

After napping it was off to dinner. Here are some pictures from this afternoon.
P.S. Can you believe the PH crap? WTH so now if a prisoners nerves are not good they can be put on house arrest. I would love for her ass to be hauled of to jail again tomorrow. She's gonna have to learn at some point that she has to be accountable for her actions.

Am I evil .... Yes I am
So you all know the Metallica song Am I evil right????? The chorus goes like
Am I Evil?
Yes I am
Am I Evil?
I am man, yes I am
So I am sure you are wondering why I am bringing this up. Well because its been bussing in my head since last night.
Not sure if I bitched about some of the new lazy waitresses we have gotten but they suck, their work ethic sucks ... . Anyhow I was working with one of them last night. It was me, one of the other waitresses that is good Ms M and Ms Lazy.
Anyhow I got there last (always do since I work till 4 in the office) so Ms M takes me aside and tells me the Ms Lazy had been waiting for her in the parking lot and flagged her down as she was getting out of her car. Ms Lazy said that she heard that I and my scottish friend have been saying that she is not doing her side work. (She was written up for such a thing by the daytime manager last week). Ms M. told her that yes indeed there were problems in the last few weeks with new people not doing their side work and she should always ask someone to be sure she did what she was supposed to. So the night goes on and we are super busy. I ended up asking Ms M if it was indeed Tuesday and not Friday. I made mainly lousy tips except for a lesbian couple that just loves my appletinis and they always tip me very well - Grumpy says its because they like the way I walk. I still walked out with $150 despite the $4 and $8 tips I mainly had.
So the night winds down and I am trying to get my checks for a big table that insisted on paying separate as I overhear Ms Lazy saying she was going to mop the bar and bathroom and stock the beer and wine. Which is okay those where the side works assigned to her station. Well Ms. M comes over and tells me that Ms Lazy had asked her what she should do - to which Ms M replied she needed to ask me because all the side work was to be split between her and me. Ms Lazy shook her head and refused. I mean I didn't care that I had to do the majority of the sidework (clean the bar and bathroom and the patio) because I had tables in those to sections. Granted had I worked with someone else they would have offered to split the work more evenly but ... So while I am still cleaning and helping the poor busboy resetting the tables Ms Lazy sits down to eat and then left. I hear Ms M ask the owner why he let her leave - her section wasn't set up. I ask Ms M if the bathroom floor was clean (I knew it wasn't because I had just been there to clean) - and she said no it wasn't. So I ended up mopping that too - with a smile.
Now she was being just an idiot - knowing that someone was on her case and not doing her shit anyways - but you still don't know why I am evil right?
Remember how I said in this post (#8) that when crossed I can border on evil. Well she crossed me and here is what makes me evil - she did make however make it very easy.
When I cleaned the bathrooms I made sure that one of the pieces of paper she didn't clean up were right there to be seen. And then made sure Ms M went in under the eyes of the owner to find that in deed she did not clean it. After sweeping and moping the bathrooms I showed the "findings" to the owner to make my point. I also went to get lunch from the restaurant today where I mentioned to our daytime manager the happenings of last night and to please not schedule us together as she is clearly not capable of working together which is essential especially when we are that busy. I also told her she left it to us, the owner and his wife to set up the tables and ensure the busboy is not there till midnight! Well I am pretty sure this chicks days are numbered but seriously she made it way to easy on me. I mean you don't go around accusing me of being unfair to you, then refuse to help out in the clean up and get away with it. If someone accuses me not of doing something I'd make sure to get it done the next time but no not this chick- I am back on the schedule with her on Saturday so it should be interesting if she is still even around then.

picnic, tag and spidey

Well it seems the weather was on our side. The rain stopped long enough for people to get to the park and in the shelter. Grumpy even got the grill going and all the sausages and hot dogs where eaten in a heart beat. It ended up being 5 families with kids and 10 of the APs. The kids had a ball running around and enjoying each others company.
Grumpy left a bit before me so he could go and take a nap since he came from work
(9pm-2am & 6am -2pm) straight to be grill master at the meeting. We were to finally go see Spidey but I couldn't get him up till hours after the show was over so we are going to do that this afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
Angel tagged me the other day
Here’s how it works: each blogger starts with eight to ten random facts slash habits about themselves… people who are tagged need to write posts in their own blog about the tag and post these rules… at the end of your post, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names…
I am sure I have done this one last year but lets see.
1. I hate shopping (except grocery shopping)
2. I am rather shy
3. I can't wait to be a mom and the idea that it may not happen (well me being pregnant may not) haunts me daily
4. I don't believe in god but often wish I did believe in something
5. I like ketchup on my pasta
6. Death scares me. I used to freak out thinking I may not live through the night
7. I love to read and always carry a book in my purse
8. I am very sarcastic and can border on evil if you cross me
9. Most people think I don't have a temper - they are wrong!
10. Eat, sleep and read are my favorite activities (well aside rolling in the hay with Grumpy)
Okay lets see who can I tag mhhhh ... how about who ever would like to do this one.
okay got to run so I can finish up work on time and meet Grumpy for Spidey.

Karma?
Okay so I believe you do to others as you'd like them to you. Last night I had a table that used a coupon card. With those cards we always add the tip (18%) which I did.
They had given me cash and I returned the change to them and they got up to leave. When I went to the table to I noticed they had left me $25 . I noticed they were still in the parking lot so I went outside and told them while I appreciated the extra tip I didn't think they realized that an 18% tip had already been added because they used a coupon. The guy thanked me and gave me $5 for my honesty and went on. I believe it was the right thing to do. I mean yeah I could have had 20 extra bucks and if they had not been in the parking lot I would not have felt bad about it but they were so I did the honorable thing. Anyhow most to the staff said I was being a idiot and should have just taken the extra money. What do you think?
Right now I am hoping for the rain to stop. I have the host family conference this afternoon - a picnic in the park. I rented a picnic shelter and so far am out $100 and it doesn't look like the rain is letting off. This sucks because I need at least 10 families to attend to make back the $100. So far only one said they are coming despite the rain.
