ok, so we had another new person start work today, and expect 2-3 more to start tomorrow night.......change is tough, as the new chef's assistant (his wife....) was working in the kitchen today getting ready for the new dinner menu....and we had to juggle oven space, refrigerator space....counter space....the nice thing about having her there was the fact that a) she can both talk and hear b) she has interesting things to say....i have worked with a deaf assistant for so long that i almost forgot how pleasant a workday can be with someone to talk to....in the past, i could go all morning without speaking if the phone didn't ring......we start a new lunch menu tomorrow, with a few new items....like the availability of shrimp or grilled salmon on a salad, and a seared salmon filet on focaccia bread....ah well, i work the next 17 days without a day off...pray for me.......

pray for all of us.....by the way....cayle has just gotten over the flu and scw is now stricken....when scw asks to be taken to the doctor, he is unwell.......i cannot afford to be sick.......
