So there has been some drama at work... making me crazy. Fortunately, M and I spoke to our boss today and everything has been smoothed down before it had a chance to get fired up.
On Thursday, G stopped by the restaurant and chatted with everyone while we were out on a smoke break (I don't smoke but I take breaks as often as I can!) and M tacked him down to coming back later for some pie. Since we were not going to be busy, M and I let the new girl, R, do all the public tables (we only did like 24 people all day) because she wasn't getting paid on Friday and could probably use the money, and we needed to set up for a wedding that happened last night. We worked our little butts off all morning and then decided to go see a new show that the entertainers were putting on at the theatre at 2:30 - conveniently, that is right about when G showed up so instead of pie, he came with us to the show. It was quite nice, actually. :)
So when we came back, almost exactly a half hour later, we were informed by the hostess that there were people in the kitchen that weren't happy, and the baker hostile-ly asked me "where the HELL were you fellers?" - even though we had cleared our leaving with R and the hostess and they were practically pushing us out the back door. There were even rumblings that our boss' boss would be informed of our activities...
The thing is - we signed out a half an hour early so as not to get paid for the time we were missing, and our boss let us do this last year several times. Overall, it became an enormous mess but was quickly calmed when M talked to our boss and our boss insisted that we were fine and it was no big deal.
