so i work at this restaurant in town- a nice place, and one of the few i will actually eat at since we have good food!! but, like all restaurants with good food, our chef is a top-class dick.
so last sunday morning, i drive through the coffee place for a vanilla latte and gigantic peanut butter cookie. i love the giant cookie. it is my breakfast and, let’s be honest, my reason for getting out of bed on early sunday mornings. so i leave part of it on the counter (no matter how hard i try, i still can’t eat the whole thing in one attempt!!), and return to find it MISSING!!!! MISSING COOKIE!!!!!
so i ask the chef about my cookie! he walks away mid-conversation, so i yell “HAPPY EASTER!!!!” (oh yeah, it was easter) anyway, after i found it in the trash (which i’d been spitting my sicky-cold-won’t-go-away mucus in all morning), he offered (though i suspect half-heartedly and dripping with cocky sarcasm) to brush it off. EW.
i leave the cookie in the trash. i’m crushed.
then he digs the cookie out and eats it!!!!! seriously!!! from industrial trash!! (okay, maybe ‘industrial’ is an overstatement, but SICK!!!) this isn’t your trash can at home (also sick) or even the floor in your kitchen (5 second rule does generally apply to cookies, unless soft-baked, depending on your personal level of kitchen-floor cleanliness).
i was in shock. i had been filling iced tea pitchers, and just let it run out, i didn’t even remember to turn it off.
so when my co-worker came around the corner, she found a river of iced tea, me staring at the wall, and the chef eating the spit-cookie.
don’t mess with my cookie!!!!!
and the best part: he didn’t even throw it away. my boss owned up to it. i’d been under the impression he was trying to make a point, but since he wasn’t even the cookie thief… what the hell!??!?!?!!?!??
p.s. anchorage in the springtime smells like dog shit. literally. everywhere. the remaining snow smells like poo, the mud (if it is mud..), the leaves and trees and of course my dog… everything is bathed in the stench of poopie!!!!
and yeah, i’ve been sick since sometime in february. it’s cold and dry… i can’t get enough lotion! ugh!!! i can’t get rid of my cold and have been forced into being like that kid in school with all the allergies: i sleep with a humidifier and space heater running and constantly need cold pills and cough syrup. there are soppy kleenex everywhere. and i’m pale. oi!
