today started out sunny and
today started out sunny and beautiful, and then they fired the other dishwasher. he called in two days in a row, and was told not to bother coming back. this means that i'm all time dishwasher (like all time quarterback from playground days, 'cept this isn't fun or outside). 10 am to close, 7 days a week, till they get a replacement. i bucked for a raise over this, which i got, but i'd rather have a few days off and less money in the bank. we were amazingly busy today, and the owner, who has diabetes and gets testy when he's low on sugar, came in a tried to yell at me about being too backed up. instead of quitting, i yelled back that he should get a better morning dishwasher, and made evil grins at the dishwashing machine about how when i'd quit, it won't be with so much notice.
this screws up plans to visit friends in anchorage, and makes going to any bluegrass festivals before i quit a remote possibility. however, since i'll have a little extra cash in pocket, i might quit earlier and go climbing on turnagain arm, where there is supposedly good bouldering and such.
my spanish is getting all crisscrossed, i speak all day with my mexican coworker andres, but then hang out with my basque friend joxe, so i'm saying weird conglomerations of slang words, an example of which ican't remember right now.
thanks goodness for npr, it's the only thing that makes closing bearable.
ok, keep in touch, and best wishes to the scot who's heading off for southeast asia, don't be worried, you'll do fine.
