I've lost a good portion of my material for this blog due to ReeRee's absence... but not all of it. Remember, I still work with at least 2 geriatrics who should have retired 20 years ago that believe that they can still do things that a 30 year old can do.
Case in point: tonight we're working a party that involves a lot of walking with a lot of stairs. Quite a few years ago LaLa injured her foot at a party that she was working. She even required surgery on it afterwards. It's never healed correctly and most days, she can barely walk during a normal shift at The Club. CeeCee, on the other hand, is a walking nightmare. For one thing, I've never known anyone to sweat as much as this woman does. I'm not exaggerating in the least, the woman sweats like 4 400lb men in a sauna. And that's on a relatively nice day (i.e. 75*). For another thing, CeeCee has smoked off and on for atleast 30 years. Because of this, she has chronic bronchitis. This chronic bronchitis causes her to hack up half of a lung in a 2 hour period. It's really appetizing to be served food by someone that could have left some lung butter on your plate...
B Man has been trying to weed these two out of working parties outside of the normal shift and has gotten an earful from both of them for it. Just yesterday B Man told LaLa that she would not be working the party tonight. Oh the daggers that were being thrown from LaLa's corneas. LaLa's first reaction, of course, is to challenge the B Man's decision and vehemently deny that she is unable to work such a party. A 10 minute argument takes place which ends in LaLa fuming. B Man has gotten his point across and LaLa still does not see it or understand it. Next she moves on to berrating the staff. -Well, if she's not working and CeeCee's not working than surely the New Girl who took ReeRee's place (who, mind you, is a timid 22 year old. She's a sweet girl and doesn't understand to the full extent how catty these two women can be yet.) is working and how could the B Man possibly put her on to work over them and it's an outrage and oh, of course the B Man is screwing them out of a paycheck again!- What LaLa and CeeCee don't realize is this: neither one can hear very well any longer, therefore they think that no one else can hear when they're "whispering" about someone else who is standing in the room with them. Whether New Girl overheard them I can't say for sure but I definitely heard them and, quite frankly, I'm sick of them shitting on people because they can't see their own incapabilities right in front of their eyes. I mentioned to the B Man what was being said and LaLa was taken aside to be told (again) exactly why she wasn't working tonight. She was also told that New Girl wasn't working in her place and to calm down.
What the B Man didn't tell her is that the only reason New Girl isn't working is because she doesn't have a babysitter for her son and that a part timer most definitely is working in her place. I really am kinda hoping that somehow she finds out...
