anxieties
well, it was another busy weekend, homecoming and all. friday went pretty smoothly but saturday night had its share of problems. i can’t remember all of them and i’m not going to strain to rememebr them because i’m glad it’s over and a new week is here. there was the one issue that i won’t easily forget and that was the guy who called and ordered 3 large pies with all of the meats, (that’s 7 toppings, pepperoni. steak. beef. sausage. meatballs. ham. bacon.) this chump ordered THREE of those and TWO large pies with double cheese and double pepperoni. i find out later that when the server turned in the ticket he said, “this guy’s gonna screw us.” and screw us he did. he showed up with a bad check and no other way to pay except this check it looked like he had fished out of someone’s trash. $122 worth of pizzas… and the server who took the order knew it but didn’t alert me to any issues… i didn’t ask about what tipped the employee off, because frankly i was too upset to talk to the employee at all. anyway, that, along with the ongoing sewer line clogs, and alarm system failures and the alarm company waking me up at 3 am THREE times this month, and well, i’ll just stop there. all of this stuff has me feeling more anxious than i want to feel. all of this has me working longer hours than usual. i’m not taking any days off this week, but working right on through my “two days off.”
however, the pies i made were looking good. the homeless folks downtown had a treat saturday night, even though it was cold by then, those meat pizzas provided some needed protein to some hungry people. and i’m optimistic that i can get some finishing touches on the fountain this week, despite the fact that i need to thaw out some freezers and organize the dry goods shed. sound like fun? oh, it is.
some weeks are easier than others, but at least i’m taking this friday off to go trick or treating. happy halloween all you people, i gotta run.
