Valentine's Day, Blizzard of '06.....


Hope you all have recovered from Valentine's Day. HOB and I went out for dinner. The food was good, the service was not so good. For a full dining room they had 1 hostess, 2 waitresses and 1 busboy. The hostess was also the restaurant manager who ended up being our server. Towards the end of the evening I finally asked her where all the help was. One waitress was ill, another couldn't find a babysitter and the third, get this, called in and said she was going out to dinner with her husband instead of coming into work. The cheeser to this? She's having dinner with her husband (and family of 6) AT THE RESTAURANT SHE WORKS AT!!!!! If I were the manager I would have taken her order and then advised her that this would be the last time she could ask for an employee discount!! I couldn't imagine the balls it takes to do something like that!

Anyway....we had a lovely dinner, we were in no hurry so we didn't really care how long it took. When the food got to us it tasted good. We also had a bottle of wine and by the end didn't really care what time it was! I have the best time in the world when I am with my HOB.

We are in the middle of a rightous blizzard. We have over 8 inches and are expecting 10-15 more. We are closing up shop early today....not many people out in this anyway to be honest.

Keep safe....later gaters!

Peace out!
