Today at work can be summed up with the phrase "wow,that escalated quickly". It started off really decent everyone doing their jobs and smiling in then once the nimrod chefs came in things just started to go to shit. One of my best day guys has been having issues with attitude but just with the nimrods. Unfortunately they are still technically his bosses and so he can't win. Today he had a great attitude all day and even stayed late to help out when one of the new guys had a family emergency. The nimrods were given carte blanch to write him up by the gm the other day when they bitched to her about him. So today they both sniped and picked at him all day and after working twelve hours. And doing 3/4 ths of the prep the nimrodette came back and took anither shot at him so he rearranged his station a bit and went in the cooler to blow up a bit. The nimrods wrote hin up so he put in his notice so they in turn walked him. You don't write up the guy that stayed late doing your job because he showed frustration after a long day you say I know you are frustrated and I appreciate your effort just call it a day and come back fresh tomorrow. Tomorrow is a huge day that I now have to do a guy short and I now have to come in early and stay late because their moms didn't teach them how to treat people.
The cherry on top of this whole rediculous fiasco is that today the owner made an offer to a guy that if he accepts he will be the new boss of the kitchen and they will both be demoted and not in a position to write up anyone. If only he could have hired him today I could have save my good guy but I am not allowed to say anything about it until it happens because no one know about it but the owner, the gm, and me. I hope it happens it will make my life so much easier.
All work bullshit aside it is finally nice out. The girls have been playing outside and we finally got to open up the house and get some new air in. Last night the owner gifted me some filet to take home to the girls because we had over cut last week. They were great but the girls were just excited that that were wrapped in bacon and had no appreciation for the fact that hey were eating a $25 steak for free. I am so ready for my Friday off though now I am not so sure it's going to happen. Saturday is ms sun's second orchestra concert. I get to leave and come back so I can see it. I have heard marked improvement in her playing so hopefully this one will be sightly less painful than the last one. Here's hoping. Have fun SG.
I almost forgot to say this last funny/ painful thing. So tonight like half an hour before I was leaving work I was making a big batch of pico in a hurry and I gave myself a jalapeo facial. That is not nearly as sexy as it sounds. I felt it happen as I was slamming peppers through the dicer but I'd didn't hurt right away. Three minutes later with the help on time and a little sweat my left eye was on fire. It oretty much swelled shut and just feared like a waterfall and of course you can't just was it off. I flushed it with water which made it worse so I dumped a carton of milk on it which didn't help but definitely made it funnier and more sexy facial looking. Finally I used a little dish soap and a lot more water and I could see again.

And,
for what it's worth (which isn't much) I'm familiar with your pain,
in addition to a number of jalapeo facials
I once had a habanero private parts incident,
which required an immediate kitchen evacuation to the shower
& talcum powder bath.
It was . . . unforgettable.
