Another day of work at Shenanigans tonight. It was busy for a Friday night, but we had way too many people working. Each server only had 3 tables, and that doesn't allow for a very large cash flow of tips for each person. But that's Shenanigans for you. However, if they had sent Calvin home, I would've been all too happy. He is a freaking Dee Dee Dee, if you know what I mean. He is one of the newest additions, but likes to act like he has the most seniority. He is a server, but he walked by the dishwasher today, grabbed one of the big empty blue crates that usually holds dishes, and instead of heading towards the spot where it is usually kept, he walked the opposite direction with me behind him, and then suddenly as he is walking he THROWS the crate down right in front of me without stopping. This is the kind of thing I am talking about whenever I complain about Calvin. He's a freaking butthead. (Obviously I am cleaning up my language, as I am not sure what exactly is allowed on this site) I already have a small back injury that I got when I was 16 working at Mcdonald's. It's finally at the point where I don't have a problem unless I've been doing strenuous work or in a weird position for prolonged periods of time. I almost tripped over the crate because of how suddenly he threw the thing down. Naturally I yelled at him and tried to tell him where it was supposed to go, but as per usual he did not listen. In fact he completely ignored me as if he didn't hear me and walked away. When I passed by again, I all but told him that if it happened again, I would hit him. I am not going to have my back screwed up again or worse because of some idiot. Especially since worker's comp would try to screw me due to the fact that it is an existing condition... *sigh* Moving on...

Bills are due soon, and only a couple of roommates have paid, so I had to post the amounts on the fridge today. We've only got a few days left so I hope everyone can get it to me. Some of them are acting like I didn't give them enough notice, but I always let them know when the bills come in and how much they owe. It isn't my responsibility to keep up on them everyday. I reminded them today. Other roommates have come to me and checked the dates and made sure that they were prepared. After all, we are all adults here. If they want someone to hold their hands, then they should go back to mommy and daddy.

Dean got passed over for a bartending job today. He's really upset. They told him when he got hired at Shenanigans that they had plans for him to become a bartender, and now his best friend got it instead. Now don't get me wrong, he's happy for Wayne because he is his BFF, but he feels let down for obvious reasons. Dean has busted his butt trying to please our managers and then he gets passed over like that! I talked to one of the managers today without his knowledge to find out what is going on. They said that because he had some problems with another co-worker that he is going to have prove himself again. The co-worker in question was an awful girl. She caused problems with all of the staff, always starting arguments about stupid things, even called dean a "honkey" one night trying to get him to call her the "n" word. Of course, he never gave in that far, but he never let any of her crap slide, and blew his temper a few times while we were working. Apparantly, even though she started it every time and not just with Dean, (in fact, she started stuff with me, Allison, and another girl that we aren't even friends with) because he was involved, he has to prove himself all over again. I swear, sometimes we are forced to remember that life just isn't fair. Not even for the best of us.
