Well, the lady who seemed to think she shouldn’t have to show up for her shift at Red’s DOESN’T have to show up anymore. She was asked to please pick up the Saturday night shift because one of our waitresses got admitted into the hospital. Still she refused to work, saying she had a friend going thru a bad time and she needed to help her. POOF! she was fired. It was no surprise when a guy came in for a beer around 10 that night and said he’d seen her at Peppercorn’s a little earlier.
From now until Wendy gets out of the hospital we only have two waitresses. That means double shifts for both of us. The money will be terrific, hours horrific! But, I’m just mean enough to be glad the worthless waitress got fired!

Sometime no help at all is better than crappy help. I don’t think you’re evil at all. Believe it or not, people like that DESERVE to be fired!

I just finished my third 10 plus hour day (today was 14 hours) and it is still 100% better than it was before. There are a lot of people willing to help out and we are training one tomorrow night.
Ironically, the High Plains Journal called me to come interview for Jamie’s old job yesterday. There is just no way I could leave Jan with no help and this is good cash, just a few blocks away instead of driving to Dodge.
