Days get rough but end it with Chinese food and it all good

life challenge

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.
