I mentioned how my boss loves me right? I know this because he tells me regularly.
Okay, yesterday he called for weekly figures while I was putting up the truck delivery...this in itself isn't unusual...it's just that I was putting up the truck, checking off the truck (that two peoples' work right there)
and running the back line. I think he has this superhero complex--which I completely understand, I have it too--but it was really frustrating when he walked in an hour later to find all of that, plus my whole crew cleaning, plus a 1:45 time with an hour to go (I have no doubts that we were the best in the district for breakfast yesterday),
plus my Monday figures all collected, and didn't say a word...he just started taking out the trash.
Yes, I realize he was trying to help. Yes, I'm grateful he showed up, even if I emphatically didn't need him. Yes, he's awesome. But com'on. Not even a "nice job, ladies,"...I got a "what would a new hire think if they saw this mess?" They wouldn't, because I wouldn't bring a new hire into the kitchen when I was the only one working it!
He redeemed himself later when, after yelling at me for how many hours I worked last week, he, you know,
asked me how many hours I worked last week. I told him 63.5 (true to the quarter hour)--he got even madder later when he found out my assistants worked 46 and 51--and he asked what I was working today. I told him I had the one-on-one meeting with him, but that was it and he told me that I wasn't allowed to come.
My boss ordered me to take my day off off and not to answer any phone calls from the restaurant. How can I not say
yes, sir to that. Two days off is the closest thing I'm going to my annual October vacation, but I can't really complain at this point.
Other stuff happened yesterday, but I'm pretty sure I can't remember what. I did wake up a 6am this morning though...not overly happy about that. I am, however, now completely done with my chores, showered, shorn, and dressed. I'm cute today.
In other news, I don't know how many of you are actually into this kind of thing, but
lls_mutant posted her BSG Big Bang fic last night, and it's pretty darn good. It has a few typos that a decent beta should have caught, and I'd kind of like to pick her brain about some of the choices she made, but it's definitely worth a read (
The Space Between Us, make sure you read the warnings if you're easily disturbed).
Oh! I meant to rec this a few days ago, but along the same vein:
Wash Your Cares Away by
kappamaki33, Cylon!Hoshi, but in the best possible way. Both stories rely heavily on the Gaeta/Hoshi pairing, but you guys probably know how much I heart Gaeta, so it's pretty okay by me.
