I managed to get home for a couple of hours. I just woke up and am trying to suck down a cup of coffee before heading back. They were actually supposed to call me and wake me up 40 minutes ago, but have apparently forgotten. It was as bust as I had anticipated, maybe a bit busier, but the ugly part will begin in about 30 minutes, now that it is getting dark out.

Tonight was just a short preview for me of what it will be like at work tomorrow. They got hammered about 7pm, and called me at 7:30. I went in an expedited until about ten or so. I have two waitresses that are basically just pieces of shit and will be gone soon after the holidays.
Their drawer was short $68 as well, which was a nice bonus.
I have to hit the sack, 4:30 comes too fucking early.

My son turns 18 in January. Knowing how broke I am this year he has asked for a PC game, Alien Shooter: Vengeance, except that when he told me the name he said “Alien Shooter Colon Vengeance”. I about lost my cookies thinking about the alien ass munchers and where exactly they sell this game. Perhaps this is the sequel to Ass Fucking Zombies?

Maybe I am just behind the times, but I figured out how to sync my LG VX8100 with WMP 11 yesterday. I tried the Verizon application, and it pretty much sucks, at least under Windows Vista. It won’t even recognize my phone, but WMP 11 does great, and it’s even faster than syncing with my iPaq. Very cool. I will post a how-to on my day off for those interested.

…like this dumb ass who might have been the recipient of a Darwin Award were it not for a Sheriff’s Deputy and a Parole Officer who put his burning ass out. Shit, let the fucker burn, seems like his gene pool needed a bit of chlorine anyway. How dare he burn a Christmas Tree. Santa must be fucking furious.

Actually his name was Mike Evans, and he played Lionel Jefferson on The Jeffersons and All in the Family. Apparently he died of Throat Cancer at the age of 57. That sucks. Of course I grew up with early 70’s TV, so some of you may not be familiar with who he is.

My third shift cook that only works two nights a week and that hung me LAST weekend because he was in the crossbar motel called about five o’ clock. He and his wife are on the schedule for tonight, tomorrow, and Christmas eve from something like 8pm-2pm. He said that his mother was flying in to Hartsfield tonight, but he didn’t know what time, and his wife’s car was in the shop, so they could not come in (and so on ad nauseum). He sounded drunk, but could have just been tired. They do work full time jobs during the week, which is why I let them off Christmas Day. They are the only people on my staff that are off on Christmas, mainly because they have to be back at work at 7am on the 26th.
I asked him why his wife couldn’t drive down to the airport and pick them up after dropping him off at work. He started arguing with me and started coming up with reasons why not. Basically it boils down to he was either drunk, or just decided to get fired prior to Christmas. If I was going to quit, it would be now, not afterward. I told him that he didn’t have a choice, it was not enough notice and he had to be there. He told me to do whatever I had to and if I needed to fire him that was fine. At that point I said “whatever” and hung up. I had to try and get the shift covered and go to bed in case I ended up working in his place. 30 minutes later he calls me back and asks why I hung up on him. I asked him if he was calling me back to tell me he was going to be there, at which point he said no, he wanted to know why I hung up on him. He was pretty pissed off. I told him that since I had to cook in his place I was sleeping, and hung up again. He has called back once, but I just let the asshole roll to voice mail, which he did not leave.
One of my two cooks for second shift just didn’t bother to show up today, so I suppose I have to get that covered. I am going in to work in about a half hour to cook for awhile and see if I can cover tomorrow. The good thing is that this guy is not That good anyway, so would have been replaced eventually anyway. I just hate that it had to be this weekend. My Christmas Day just keeps getting longer and longer.
