I'm glad it's Friday! in Not-So-Hum-Dingers

The past two days have been pretty interesting, work-wise, I mean.

Meredith did not show up yesterday with Laurie at the helm, I don’t even know if she bothered to call in. So Laurie had to call Russ in (since it was Barb’s day off), and they rocked it like the father/daughter team that they are. We were actually out of there at the more-than-reasonable time of 3:45 PM, which was a testament to everybody working to make the day go as smoothly as possible.

Today went by with yet another lack of contact from Meredith, and Barb was the lone big-wig working the griddle. She had Brianna help her out with the cooking, and I stuck to my dish-ass-kickery, and we had Raquel waitressing. Russ came in again (two days in a row when he’s really not wanting to have to come in at all with all of the cooks he’s supposed to have working) and we got through another day sans Meredith.

I just don’t understand how she can behave like this and expect to keep her job. Barb said to me that if she doesn’t come in tomorrow then she’ll be truly done. Personally I’m amazed that Meredith hasn’t already been relegated to obscurity but I guess I understand them needing another certified cook on the roster.

Part of me feels a little slighted that I haven’t been chosen to train in all of that stuff, but then I remember that I’m grateful to be working at all and that I’m the only one there who is consistently awesome at my job. Those feelings are easily extinguished with the realization of how lucky I am to have a job and a home that I have because of the job.

I just needed to write all of that out, and that’s what I love so dearly about having a diary on the internet. I get to release the noise in my head and know that it’s getting out there.
