Gah.
Such a stressful day. Everyone was stressed out and tempers were flaring.
First off we were short a server for lunch which is a big deal. There are 10 tables in my section, times that by 4 people to a table so I serve about 40 people. Everyone else has between 5-8 tables. That's during lunch, thankfully there isn't as many people at breakfast but egg orders are a huge bitch, especially if you have 4 different orders for different kind of eggs. We can't write this shit down either.
Anyways. After breakfast we were discussing rooms. I was covering for Brenda who had seven rooms but I had to leave early to attend my doctors appointment so I only had about two and a half hours to get seven rooms done. Ha.. not possible. Actually, it would be possible if I half-assed it but I don't do that. My boss attempted to tell me I had to finish all seven rooms before I left or come back after my appointment. I told him I wouldn't come back after my appointment. I had it booked two weeks in advanced and by the time my appointment was over and I was back at work it'd be time to clock out anyways, so no point.
That didn't set well with him. I told him I wouldn't come back and he said "Well then you might not have a job." So I told him to go ahead and fire me. Took my break, came back in and he wanted to talk to me. Needless to say I didn't really let him talk. I told him I don't take threats lightly and I would have no problem quitting right now before lunch and leaving them screwed with only two servers. I told him I know I'm back-up but I won't be treated like a toy. I don't appreciate being demanded the day of, to cover someone. By the time the conversation was over he was apologizing to me. I went up to start my rooms and he came up, told me he wasn't aware that I wasn't here the whole day yesterday and that I had limited amount of time. Asked if we could start over.
At lunch Pearl had told me that he had walked up to her and told her that I have a hot temper like she does and he does. Fuck yes I do. I don't like being pressured to do the same amount of rooms as everyone else in less than half the amount of time they have. Sure I could do it if I half-assed it but I'm not going to do a job half-assed. That's not me.
My 'father' called me today to let me know that he sent my birthday card out. I had to chuckle at him and ask why he sent it out two months early. "I didn't want to miss it." Well at least he's trying I suppose. He said something today that really reminded me of Stephen. Sigh.
I've been trying to keep myself busy so I don't think about it but honestly. I miss him and I miss talking to him. Yeah, I know. I'm sad.
