Arrive. Reset. Fuck Up Everything. Leave. Repeat.

MY TIME IS NOW!

Josue has finally left the building. After realizing that his hours had been cut, he decided to walk out, leaving Leonel by himself in the kitchen. It's not like he doesn't deserve it either. Showing up late countless times and at one point showing up drunk didn't help his case.

For any of you asking why I started the entry with 'MY TIME IS NOW,' it's because I must confess my deep love to John Cena. Well not really, but since Josue left, I will now take over the spot he left and I'll become a permanent cook, so my cashier days are finally coming to an end. And it's serious this time, unlike the other time where Erick hoed me out of nowhere and hired somebody else, although he no longer has power to do that.

I don't want go on another rant about the 'Mexican flash' Erick, however I do want to remember a story about Josue, as a tribute to his departure.

For those who don't remember, we had a driver named Olivia and she would find herself being hit on by Josue a lot. One day Josue would buy her flowers, or on another day he would sing her a romantic song in Spanish. Either way, there wasn't a day that Josue didn't hit on Olivia, even though she told him various times she already had a boyfriend.

But one of the most awkward moments for Josue was when we all worked together on a Sunday morning. Like always, he was hitting on Olivia, when all of sudden, his entire family, including his wife and baby girl, walk through the front door!

I went to the back, and starting laughing my ass off after I saw Josue's reaction to Olivia taking his wife's order. After that he had no other choice but to come to the front, and carry his baby girl, and kiss his wife. All of this was happening as I kept laughing my ass off and Olivia looked on, pretty much not giving one absolute fuck.

Pretty sure he learned his lesson after that morning, and let it be a lesson to all you gentlemen out there. You gotta keep your side interests far, far away from your main chick.

Since in a couple of days I will be stepping permanently into the kitchen, I think it's time for y'all to meet the rest of the back-of-the-house staff. While mostly Hispanic, these guys all come from different backgrounds and will probably inspire a couple of stories along the way:

· Ruben: I have mentioned this guy before, probably in my first journal. Despite being only 29, the guy is already balding. He's short and often then no, has a temper that doesn't make any sense. Did I mention how he barks like a dog when he needs to use the restroom?

· Marcos: The new cook from Guatemala. At first he seemed like a decent cook, but ever since he befriended Ruben, he has gone down hill. And he brags about his social life like nobody's business, even though I'm pretty sure he goes to strip clubs frequently.

· Leonel: The cook that was hired by Erick. Out of all three cooks, he seems the sanest, although the way he jokes around might prove differently.

· Maria: The only female cook. She's often quiet but you just have to get her talking at first. She's Erick's favorite, which must be a torture for her.

· Angelo: Another guy who I know I have mentioned before; this guy is probably a pedophile. Although this guy can't hear for shit. You literary have to scream in his face for him to hear you.

· Roscelia: She does prep in the morning and is Erick's sister. Literary that's all you need to know about her. And to this day, the fact that she is Erick's sister is the only reason why she has a job with us.
