and a cherry on top
so 10am i was at the restaurant. figured i could stay until 4 and it would be slow and steady and quiet..
i get there to find out that they hired two new hotesses and i had to train them this morning. one was the girl michelle from freshman french class who was friends with julianna and damien, and her best friend rachel. not like they were dence or anything, but its a lot to learn in one day and i really didnt feel like teaching the world this morning. so we're off to a good start until dena gets double sat and starts bitching at rachel to wait on the seating until she can get a drink order. so of course i put in my two cents and then we skip to the lunching hour. we get hit hard around 2:00 and have to sit all the booths, side cafe, held a party of 13 in the smoking cafe and had to triple seat bryan my french canadian (who i love) in the front cafe. and there was only 6 people on day shift with michelle as the only swing and it wasnt pretty. turns out the server shawn lied to me, and couldnt handle the pressure b/c it was only his second day on the floor. so of course lew flipped shit and said we could only sit 4 tables per server although each server had sections with like 7 tables in them so we had to go on wait when we had tables free. didnt think rich or vikki were gonna show up, but lucky us- they decided to come and unfortunately allison came on time too. got to work with jen, which of course was the highlight of the day. we played around with bryan who said we should get together so he can give me french lessons. on the language, you perverts! told him i already have a burr-ray (sorry mel, that must be painful to read. i cant spell!)which i do. haha.
so of course theres no fucking helium for the balloons, and they cant send them to us because of our heat wave thing going on, and the atmosphere would create some type of helium bomb thing. so i have to physically blow up some balloons for these crying kids and i turn blue. but its not enough that im standing in the kitchen turning blue, i have the night shift coming on and justin, kendel and jesse are making fun of me turning blue. meanwhile, the booth that sits up to 6 people right next to the kitchen entrance gets sat with this angry fat woman and her 5 whiney prostitot daughters with their fucking gucci purses that match their hat and gloves. keep in mind that this woman had to wait 20 minutes for this booth and it turns out it was closed on the floor plan so when i saw them being sat, i knew lew was gonna freak out. so as im blowing up my billionith balloon, i turn around to look for lew and i see veronica's arm fly up and it hits wendy in the head. wendy turns around and thinking it was me, grabs the cherry liquid jelly shit from the dessert station and squirts it all over me. i let go of the balloon that looses its air and flys across the kitchen, out into the restaurant and right into the gucci moms soda. so poor des (their server) comes in the kitchen while wendy is apologizing to me with the balloon in hand and nobody said anything. silence. dead silence. but as soon as she left, we laughed. this cherry jelly was blood red and it was ALL over me and also hit the cabinet behind me and was all over the floor. so im laughing and crying b/c i cant catch my breath and everyone around me is just having a ball and jess comes in and sees me standing over this red puddle and i get, "damn girl, plug it up." and of course the kitchen just dies! i laugh too, b/c it WAS funny. so while this is going on, pam the manager needed to fax a menu to Work Out World (which i thought was funny. the guys who work at WOW want some healthy mot sticks and pot skins?)...and needed lew to help as soon as possible. so she calls up front by the door that lew needs to get to the office NOW. so he comes bouncing back thinking the worst and stops dead in his tracks to face me. blue in the face, cant catch my breath, covered in this blood red cherry juice with tears in my eyes and standing over this red puddle...
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN HERE? YOU'D YOU KILL?!"
it was a very long day and i plan on going to bed right about now. and tomorrow is work at 10am. who knows what'll happen this time.
oh snap! life is funny.
