So, I went in early to work today to get the egg rolls made for tonight's special. Do to a mis-communication regarding scheduling, Andrew was working tonight.  Lynsey wanted to make sure I got the egg rolls done, and showed Andrew how to make them.  Well, I've got plenty of filling left, but only had enough wrappers to make 30 rolls (10 orders).  So I made them, made the dipping sauce, then showed Andrew how to cook them and plate them.

Actually, what I said was... let's figure out the plating.  Now, I already knew how I wanted them plated, but I wanted him to feel he had SOME involvement in their development.  My plating won (which he preferred).

The first order for the 'special' went out.  In less than 5 minutes, the empty plate came back.  I asked Logan (the bartender)... did they like them? not like them? Any comments at all?

He said that they LOVED them and wanted another order, but the wife said they were going to be there a while... so let's space it out...

I shot a look over at Andrew, who the whole time I was making them was complaining that people don't really like egg rolls, let's hope someone buys them, we'll probably have a ton left over, it's just a waste of money... 

Ha-Ha Andrew!! Take That!!!!

Look, Andrew is a nice guy.  I like him, I really do.  Unfortunately, he just does the minimum, and when someone like me comes in and screws up the status-quo... well, he's got to take shots where he can.  I get that.  So, since there was a foul up on the schedule... I told Andrew I was leaving.  My work was done, I got the feedback I needed, and I'm working tomorrow (gotta buy more wrappers first!)

It's been a stressful few weeks, with tastings, selling the inventory, kids being extra 'autisticy'... and a few other things... but tonight, I plan to sleep.  Tomorrow? Well, that's another day!
