stop right there

Is Mercury in retrograde?

I swear, things like this only happen while my boss is away. On the first two days of this week, my co-assistant was out with a stomach bug, and then today, German #2 sliced her hand open and had to get four stitches. Thankfully, Starpilgrim and later, Mark, lent some hands to make up for the missing one. Otherwise, I don’t think the three-person Tuesday crew would’ve been able to make grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, or dessert for tonight’s dinner.

It must have something to do with the boss’s vacation. The last time he went on a two week break, Tizzy broke her fingers and our senior BVSer twisted her ankle. I’m glad he doesn’t go away that often; we’d have some pretty crippled folk at the Farm.

I'm not wishing anything on anybody, but how do you manage out of this scott free... Coincidence? Hmm.... I think not. JK! O:-)
N, you're the best thing going for that kitchen, I honestly believe if you weren't there, there would be days without a meal served. GO you for being steady!

Yeeks.

Agreed. You have the Sword of Damacwhateverhisameis dangling over your head.

Get out while you can!

Alright Debbie Downer! Glad that you haven't had that huge bin of TVP fall on your head while Flav Flav is away, or else who would get everything done...feeding and poisoning by coffee, the entire community? WINK!
