Days get rough but end it with Chinese food and it all good
Today didn't start off well. I do janitor twice a week and the other 3 days do prep work. Well today the truck came in and I had to help the cook put it away. The janitor was supposed to be there a half hour before I was. He never showed up.
The cleaning is done in the morning. The dining room, the bathrooms, the bar and getting any trash out. Well none of that got done this morning. If I would have known he wasn't coming I would have done it myself. I mean at least get the bathrooms cleaned and the trash out. He just didn't show up.
The janitor is supposed to keep up on dishes as well. We are supposed to run them through the dishwasher and put them away. Since he didn't show up I had to keep up on that. It interfered in my prep work for the day. Then before I left I was getting the area cleaned up. The sink was a mess and I was cleaning it. I sliced my finger on the drain. It wouldn't have happened because I wouldn't have been doing the cleaning if he would have shown up. I didn't get everything I wanted to get done before I had to leave.
Then on the way home I was going to stop for something for my sinus and chest congestion at CVS. I was so annoyed with him I forgot. I got home and sat down with my cat for about 15 minutes and remembered to go back out and get it.
Now the good news. That Aleve D that I got worked great. It knocked me out for almost an hour and I feel a lot better. I wasn't in the mood to make dinner and just wanted to have something good so I got Chinese. My cat is sleeping next to me now. Now I am drinking my beer and wondering if I should go back and finish off my General Tso's.
He's supposed to work tomorrow and so am I so he better watch what he says and does. Personally I have been a manager before and have worked in food service for 20 years I would fire him. It's a no call no show. Unless he ended up in the hospital or jail for some reason he doesn't have an excuse not to call.
