Forgot to mention that Katie called Saturday evening to tell me that she had injured herself while playing soccer Saturday afternoon so she won't be able to work.
So much for the two week notice Katie gave me Friday night. I was lost for a minute after that phone call but then I came to my senses. I have been dodging employee problems for the last five months. Just when I think that I'll be short staffed a solution shows itself.
After Angie called in sick Saturday morning I figured it might be a good idea to hire another waitress so I called Jennifer to see if she was still looking for work. Jennifer had applied for a waitress job two weeks ago the day after I hired Angie.
I didn't get an answer at Jennifer's so I left a message for her to call me back if she was still looking for work.
About two hours later Jennifer called me back saying she is available to work.
I told Jen to come in Wednesday morning at 11 am, she said she would be there.
I'm going to find out right away if she's ready for prime time or not. I have to put her on Friday to replace Katie. Friday is the busiest day of the week so we'll have a trial by fire.
Actually I hope she's up to challenge, we need a steady Friday night waitress..
Time will tell.
