  As usual, work was "fun" tonight. We started off slow, so we had all of the panning (dough) done. Then, after they had sent almost everyone home, we got hit. We had a lot of deliveries, as well as a full dining room. I was helping in the kitchen, and my trainee was helping in the dining room. I felt sorry for some of our customers, as they had to wait a while to be seated.
But, that happens when we only have two waits (who are trying to take care of more than a dozen tables who got there rather recently). My trainee was okay, she really only needs to work on her speed (and that will improve in time). She is an ex-housewife who is currently getting divorced. (I think she is now working at two jobs, and has two kids to take care of.
Not to mention a dead-beat dad). The only problem I can see is that she is a conservative Christian. I discovered that when I mentioned I was a member of a couple of interfaith yahoo groups. She said (in a tone most people use to talk about alcohol or drug abuse, or something really REALLY bad), "Oh, I don't mess with that. " So, I asked her what she believes, and she gave me the classic the bible is the literal word and all that.
She didn't ask what I believe, and I didn't tell her. I doubt she wants to know, and there shouldn't be a problem unless she does ask. I am wondering what her reaction will be when she discovers I'm gay. (Which is something most people at work know about. It can't be hidden as I do play flirt with a couple of people there. Besides, I won't hide what I am.
