I forgot to tell you ladies that on Friday night, one of the other hostesses
was almost hit by a customer or two. Because she wasn't seating
the customers as fast as they wanted. I guess when Derrick was doing some
checking around on her and some other things, he is doing some training
to be a trainer in the host and a couple other area's and was doing some
at the time. He noticed she was overly upset. And asked her what was wrong,
and at first she didn't wanted to tell him. He finally got her to tell him. And
he told her she needed to tell the main manager. So she did, I believe since
they had only one hostess at the time. He filled in for her.

But he said, all the sudden, the Main manager was looking for the front of the house manager, wanting to know if she knew anything about it. And was looking for the customers, that had been seated, and they had the cops there
too. But she went to the table they had been seated at. And told them they
were to leave right then. One of the guys told them they had just gotten
their drinks, and she said, this once I"m allowing you to take your drinks with
you. One said, I have a alcoholic drink and don't want to leave it. She told him,
YOu are allowed just this once to take it. And they left, the cops were outside
to take over with them. I guess one of the other guest wanted to know
why they couldnt take their drinks (alcoholic) too. She told them usually
it wasn't allowed, but they had done something to a employee and had
to leave. And the customer told her that they didn;t want a drink to go
that bad. And they would even tip the waitress assigned that table.

But anyway the next night, they had not only camera's, in the front, but
they had to be fingerprinted, and a few other things. To show they were
employees. I'm not sure what all happened with the customers. But
I'm sure it was more than Derrick was told, because originally it was
just to be camera's so the management could see if it happened anywhere
in the store.

that sounds so awful.

Yes, I think it was for the girl it happened to. But it wasn't all that happened
that night. There was a fight with one of the girls, deciding she is entitled
to tell another girl when she can ask for time off. And she then walked
out on the job and left for the night. At this point no one is sure if she
is off completely or if she is just on vacation for a couple weeks to decide
what she really wants to do.

Derrick is one of the few that can do the to go position, so he is stepping
up to do the position.

What a nightmare !
Good for derrick to get the gal to talk.
and that he is taking up on more responsibility, and getting good experience.
You have trained him well.

Yes, he is a good worker and does a great job. He really notices when
someone is off which makes a lot of difference too.

Just got home on sunday at 10;45 pm Jeff picked me up.
my Indy to dallas got diverted to oklahoma because of
a storm that popped up with hail and lightening.
So they stopped in OK to refuel. the storm passed
and we flew back to dallas. my2 hour layover was

down to half an hour.
So I dragged my carry ons and walked very quickly

thru the airport for my next flight home, made the gate

with 5 minutes until boarding.whew!
The reunion was nice 60 grads arrived with spouses

and some single people.
120 turned out.The silent auction was great.
we raised almost $2,000 to be split between
ronald mcdonald house and another cancer site,
can't remember what that one was.
Monday I woke up with a scratchy throat and by
the end of the day it was sore. So I thought covid
or strep. So I went into a med check place and got
tested for both. negative good. He did diagnose

pharengitis.
he gave me prednisone 20mg x 4 days just picked

it up today hoping that I can sleep tonight!
The steroids helped my knee and my back as well.
@*Beth* my brown shoe boots fell apart at the
reunion. So a friend leanna
had a pair of sandals that she let me borrow for
the evening.
The 3 inch heel(shoe boot) was like disintegrated

it was the oddest dress catastrophe, I have some
black boots that I will wear for jeffs birthday dinner
.We are going to our favorite restaurant : Marcellos.
He turned 60 today. he is at a rehearsal for the latin
band for the latin fest october 1st. After a quick
dinner at pizza artista where your pizza is ready in

5 minutes.after placing an order kind like a subway.
you walk thru the line and pick out the items you want.
very good pizza usually.
WE split a small one with the traditional toppings.
After diner we came home and jeff asked if I wanted
a truffle , then he said, did you get me a cake? hangs her head,
no I did not. I never even thought of that.

you don't turn 60 every day. he is buying himself a
new gig guitar.My twin and I turn 60 on january 1st.

We have been talking about taking a river cruise by viking.
They are pricey but should be a lot of fun.

When we turned 50 the 3 girls(older sister) went on

a carnival cruise for 4 nights out of new orleans.

All 3 of us in one room it was quite crowded.

But we had a good time.
any ways, I will quit,
thanks for reading along!

I'm glad you had a good time.

I forgot to tell you ladies that Derrick's 1 year anniversary was on Wednesday.

On Tuesday when he worked he received from one of the Managers, the
kitchen manager a nice O'Charleys jacket. He really is loving it. And I guess
some of the other employees are jealous he got one and they didn't the
manager told him, then them that its given to employess that work hard.
And do more than asked, and show they put out extra.

Then he and his behavior therapist, who he sees more as a good friend
went to o"charleys on Wednesday for lunch it was their usual day to eat
out. And they got their usual 1/2 off meals. Then he got me a nice meal
free as his meal for his anniversary to bring home to me. And she got
a meal to go for $2.00. It was a nice surprise. I don't honestly know any
other place that treats employees so well.

He has a new job coach starting in a week or so. As soon as we can get her
in to meet the staff and get things started. But he is off most of this next
week anyway. He is also learning a new position this next Monday, the
start to his most wanted Prep Cook.

You have to be so proud.
love,
