We have a new supervisor. And I mean new as in hired from the outside, not trained her way up.
I thought we were getting along fine. When she would do something because she didn't know, I would let her know what was going on, we would talk, all was right with the world.
Somehow, that turned into me yelling at her and telling her how to do her job.
I have been suspended for two weeks. And suffice it to say, I have redoubled my efforts to find another job.
On the plus side, after Tristan dropped this bomb on me, I asked to speak to Chef in private. Tristan didn't appreciate it alot.
OMG!!!!! I'm sorry! Well, they will get to see how things run, without you there to fix everything and make everyone look good.
Oh dear lord...

I was be bopping along, reading my fav journals so I could relax (it's 4:30 in the morning. I got home from work at 3:30) and got to the entry where she said she was giving all her honor to me for my birthday.
Oh dear lord, people....LMAO
Thank you for the bestest birthday present....I love you guys.
Would you eat mashed potato dispensed from a vending machine?
Forget peeling, boiling and smashing. You can now get your mashed potatoes from a 7-Eleven vending machine.
Created by Maggi, a company that makes instant soups, seasonings and noodles, these automated machines are popping up in 7-Eleven stores overseas. Especially popular in Singapore, this piece of genius mixes powdered spuds with hot water and spews the concoction out Slurpee-style. Simply press a button and you can have Thanksgiving every day.
A video of the vending machine in action has been making the rounds just days after 7-Eleven's 85th birthday celebration on July 11.
But don't worry, the makers didn't forget mom's famous gravy sauce. After the liquid potatoes goop out, a nice and heavy squirt of chicken gravy follows. (Sorry all you vegetarians out there, you'll have to sit this one out.)
There's something oddly comforting about the fact that if you want mashed potatoes at 3 a.m. in the morning, you can now get them. There's also a whole lot of wrong about the fact that if you want mashed potatoes at 3 a.m. in the morning, you can now get them. And it'll all only set you back $1.00. If this makes it over to our side of the ocean, I predict a potato shortage will likely ensue. Can you imagine the supersized American version? Yikes.
Do these mashed potatoes look scrumptious or are you horrified by the concept? Would you eat mashed potatoes from a vending machine?
Having worked in convenience stores and had to clean these dispensing machines, I can vouch for the fact that they get gunked up all the time. How clean would the chute be that dispenses the taters....I can just see someone getting a chunk of something in their taters that ain't taters.
This is how KFCs (Kentucky Fried Chicken) potatoes used to be. I know because I worked there about a hundred years ago. Lol Ok' so it only seems like that long. I would assume they are still doing it the same way. Yummy. Not.
Holy cow

I had to work a golf tournament that turned into the biggest pain in the ass I have ever had. There were over 50 kids there (Lord only knows why) and sodas and juice were free to all of them. Suffice it to say, they took over the entire clubhouse, running every where they possibly could.
And where were the parents you ask? Drinking and laughing in the main room with us, of course.
By the end of the night I had three things:
A screaming headache.
Aches in every part of my body from slinging drinks for 8 hours, which is alot longer than most golf tournaments last.
And a new friend.
And how, you ask, would I have gotten a new friend out of all this? Well, this one little girl kept ushering up her friends to the bar, and saying "It's ok, she's nice, just tell her what you want."
We got along famously. Her name was Aryana Engineer. Don't recognize the name? Maybe this will help.....
That's right- I made friends with Max from The Orphan.
she's even cuter in person, and extremely polite. and when one of the "adults" started ranting at the bar about how she was famous etc., she just blushed and said "no not really" and wandered away.
With Spartacus being cancelled last month, Starz isn’t wasting any time getting back to work with the drama’s producers. The U.S. cable network announced that it is developing a series born from the mind of Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight.
In a press release sent Wednesday afternoon, Starz outlined Incursion, which it describes as an “epic science-fiction action-thriller that follows a squad of soldiers caught in a war against a hostile alien race.” It adds that each season will take the battle to a different planet.
The project is the first to spring from the overall deal Starz has with DeKnight, who has also worked on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Smallville and Dollhouse.
Starz also unveiled plans for Vlad Dracula, a new take on the 15th century story of Vlad Dracula. J. Michael Straczynski (Thor, Babylon 5, The Changeling) is joining forces with Roy Lee (The Ring, The Woman in Black) and Rob Tapert (Spartacus, Xena: Warrior Princess, Evil Dead, The Grudge).
“The project is a unique spin of the classic tale, blending the historical facts of the 15th century Prince of Wallachia, with the fictional Dracula whose story is known around the world and continues to fascinate audiences,” reads the release.
“Vlad Dracula traces his evolution from a revered ruler to the world's most feared vampire, and his slow downfall as he struggles desperately to hang on to his humanity, his wife and his kingdom"
Wait...what? No more Spatacus? WTF? I thought that they were in production for next spring...this sucks, as I loved that series! Damn...!
But, on a brighter note...there will be a show about Vlad Dracula? Sweet!
*giggle*

Also known as the update to yesterday's fiasco...lol
I ran into Dowar, the guy whose check was so fubar'ed that it caused me to check my check. Seems he stopped by to let Chef know his check was wrong, but Chef informed him that he needed to be more careful when he signed in, since he is working different positions. Otherwise, they have no idea what hourly wage to put into the computer when they are figuring out payroll. That he would trust Dawar this time, but he needed to be more careful in the future.
So I am not getting a warm fuzzy at this point, so I moseyed over to Chef's office, stuck my head in and said hello.
"Oh my god, I was just emailing you. I am so sorry I made such a huge mistake on your paycheck, if you need themoney right now I can write you a personal check, or put it on your next paycheck, whatever works for you."
See, he and I have been through this before. He knows I keep copious notes about what I do for work, and when and what not. So I got no argument, no anything, just I'm sorry, and here's your money.
Good, you got that fixed fast! When I worked at IHOP they ALWAYS pulled this crap on me, I would be a waitress some shifts and others I cooked. The schedule was clearly marked what position I was on what day, yet they always blamed ME when my check was off. The day I walked out of there was one of the happiest in my working life.
I was at work yesterday, just muddling around, as the new bartender was technically on her own with me just supervising while she worked. Didn't leave me with a whole lot to do.
I went down to get my paystub for this pay period, and ran into one of the supervisors- seemed his paycheck was so far wrong he was killing himself trying to figure it all out. I didn't think too much about it, since he works as a server, bartender, and supervisor, so his pay is gonna be hooped up for a bit.
Then I got home, and decided to check on mine. I keep scrupulous records of everything when I work, and have the pay periods marked off in the notebook I use to keep track of my tips.
Suffice it to say, what I discovered made my eyes pop.
If I work a cash bar, I make tips, and I make $11 an hour. All was good there.
If I work a hosted bar (no tip jar out, but we can still take tips of they are offered) I make $13 an hour. If I work overtime on a host bar, I make 19.50 an hour after 8 hours.
When I checked my stub, I realized that they had shorted me 23.75 hours at the hosted pay.
For those of you without a calculator, that's over $300 they owe me.
