Breakdown!

The pizza oven broke down at work yesterday...It happened after I left...so I'm not taking the blame! Seriously, it was nobody's fault. We all smelled a strange odor coming from it yesterday..almost like charcoal starter. Who would have thought that it was a sign that it was about to give out? MSI was called, a part was ordered and supposed to have been in this morning. I got there at noon..no MSI ,and the oven was still down! Well, after all the cold pizza is made and put out, there is not a whole lot to do besides make hot pizza for customers. The boss left and I punched in with thoughts of what I'm supposed to do to keep busy for eight hours with no oven! I helped the gal in Chinese make some crabragoons, waited on some of their customers, make a couple pans of pasta for tomorrow.. then went to lunch. After that, I was challenged as to what came next..so I winged it for a while.I cleaned the area up..found a place to put a big box of lids that had been bugging me for a while, I replaced some of the pizzas that had sold out in our coldcase...To make a longer story short..I gave up about five, decided I had done all I could do and punched out and went home!
Of course, everyone was envious of me that I got to leave early...I'm sure no-one wanted me to stay and do nothing , so I didn't feel too bad about leaving!
I deChristmatized my living room this morning and now the house is back to a holiday-free decor. I really liked my Christmas decorations this year so I was a bit sad to take them all down...I guess I didn't want to let go of Christmas yet...my brother and his wife came to visit over the New Year weekend..we had a great visit..they are very special to me...I hadn't seen my sister-in-law in about two years..they went to church with us Sunday morning...I even got to bring my friend Carolyn with me! My son and his girlfriend and her two daughters came to the potluck after church..so, that was a really special day for me!
Tonight I'm just chillin' here on my couch with Jose and my dog buddies..Jose's watching some ancient Egyptian mummy show on tv...It's kinda gross, so I'm trying not to view it at all, but sneak a glance ever so often..just not my thing.....no mummies for me!
I have one chubby little weiner girl on one side of me and Kramer is down at the other end of the couch all nice and cozy..like I have said before...these hounds got it made!! Hope everyone is getting a great start on the new year...mine wasn't all that bad...I'm enjoying my little break from the job...have a good evening!
