I know I said I wasn't going to talk about work anymore, but I just had to get this out:
I slept a good portion of yesterday afternoon in preparation of pulling an all-nighter at work so I could have the rest of Tuesday and all day Wednesday off. I had plans to get there just after the closing staff left and, even though I'd have to put away the food orders when they got there, I was going to do two days' worth of dough.
Marcus bought a new vehicle yesterday because his poor truck is ready to throw a rod and the transmission loses 2nd and 3rd gears when it gets warm. He got home about 10:30 pm. He needed a ride back to the car dealer to pick his truck up so it wouldn't sit there all night. The dealer is pretty close to the places where we work. Timing was almost perfect. By the time he showed me the new vehicle and we drove over there, it would be just a little later than I had planned on being at work.
After I left Marcus and drove to work, I pull up in front of the building and nobody is left. SCORE! This is going to work. I should've suspected something was going to go wrong at that very moment. I went inside, got my supplies ready, turned on the tap to fill the water bucket and . . . nothing. No water. Nada. Not even a dribble. Maybe the faucet is bad again and they turned the water off. I tried every faucet in the store. No water at all. Damn it! I went ahead and prepped onions and peppers. Still no water. I gathered all the half-full water bottles that staff had left everywhere to rinse the peppers. I rearranged the walk-in to make room for dough and the food orders. Still no water. I figured out how much dough I'd have to make for the next three days. I weighed out sugar/salt cups for the next three days. Still no water. I sat for 15 minutes brainstorming web design business names and making today's to-do list. Still no water.
By now, it's 1:30 am. I'm pissed and frustrated beyond belief. The first food delivery hasn't even shown up yet so that I could put that away to kill some time. I gave up and went home.
So much for the best-laid plans, eh? Now I'm torn as to what to do. I don't want to waste the gas to drive back over there again today. There won't be time to get two days' worth done before rush, either, since I can't show up until after noon. This totally sucks. I'm going back to bed. Maybe I'll have better clarity about the situation later. Yeah, right.
