So yesterday work wasn't as bad as I dreaded that it would be. Business overall was continuous, didn't make my boss mad, made a lot of people smile, quite a few phone calls. But, the most chaotic event was when a customer ordered fried salmon at our place and so I wrote it down, and then took it to the kitchen and told the mexican cooks what I wrote as they were reading too, but they just could not understand the english word for fried and I knew almost nothing in Spanish, and boy oh boy, I tried explaining to them that this style of cooking was like the sesame chicken, which is also fried, but that didn't work, and so thankfully I first texted Josh to ask for help, and during the meantime the cook went through the freezer to find what I was trying to express but she always came out with the wrong thing.....but finally, and thanks to Josh, I got the word that "frito" meant fried, and so I finally got that point across, well....other than that, nothing really went wrong, but oh! I got my paycheck ;)
