My working class life.
I arrived at work only half an hour late instead of the full hour I'd expected. My ex had been having a scattered day and I had to help him get everything together when I'd returned from my new job. I was still a little rattled from trying to help manage the chaos that sometimes erupts from his ADD.
My two favorite coworkers were there as was the district manager and interim team leader.(our team leader had quit last week, unwilling to deal with the insanity any longer. Fourth manager this team had lost in one year.) I set about cleaning and making product for the case. The floor was littered with seafood cases as usual. I piled them on a cart and headed to the dumpster via the kitchen. "Pardon my fishbox!" I called out as I walked behind one of the cooks. He grinned "I smelled that from waaaay over here". Idk what it is about kitchens that attract hilarious people but it seems to be universal.
My coworkers were discussing next weeks schedule and staffing when I returned. "I'm not scheduled for next week, right?" I asked Nick the DM. He frowned and looked flustered. "You've got to be kidding. I've put in my notice twice now! What's Dave doing, throwing my notices in the trash while hollering "FAKE NEWS"?" I asked doing my best Dave voice. Sure enough I'd been scheduled through the 9th despite having put my original notice in for the 29th of the previous month and again for the fourth of this month. "You can check out any time you like,but you can never leave" Falco sang to me.
I went into the back to get some chicken breast. I was hit full face with a stink like the fifth day of a magic gathering tournament. I'd never realized that geek reek was the smell of rotten meat and uncleaned coolers.ya learn something new every day. I grabbed a bag of breast and noped the fuck out of there. I made a mental note not to buy meat from here anymore. With AJ and I gone all attempts at cleanliness and sanitation would be abandoned.
I set about making stuffed chicken breasts and finished them quickly. Falco walked up and smiled "Thanks Dude!" "Family ties? You're scraping the bottom of the barrel today" I laughed. "Ever since you pointed out that every thing I say is from tv or memes I catch myself doing it all day" she said frowning. "You're what happens when YouTube inhabits a human body and gains sentience" I told her. "Fuck you" she said good naturedly and walked into the back room, only to immediately walk back out again gagging. "What in the fucking hell?!"she asked turning three shades of green. "You, I and AJ haven't been here for the last three days. No ones cleaning the cooler or clearing out the spoilage." I told her. "Too bad halloweens over. Otherwise we could dress as darth vader or astronauts so we could have gas masks. Shame" she stared at me. "Gawddamnit why didn't you suggest that BEFORE halloween?" She asked in mock outrage.
