so I had casually written "Nicole oncall" for the dinner shift tonight knowing that a saturday evening w/out a dishwasher is usually overwhelming enough to cry. So i got a text from Heidi at 4:57 pm... three minutes before the start of the dinner shift. i read said text at 5:10. it said "hey nicole. lunch was super busy and i'm not feeling well at all, so if you're willing to come in and help i might take you up on that if it's busy". I left the bike shop and walked over saw about an hours worth of dishes (clean and dirty). un-prepped tables for dinner, and about five tables' worth of people. we only have eith tables, two windows (four people) and a full bar. it was packed to begin! hence a mad scramble to wipe and prep tables, put clean dishes away, and run around like crazy getting dirty dishes cleaned, food out, and other fun things done.
woooie.
i love working.
