and one funny aside

the last time i worked it was pretty slow at lunch. it was just lou, james and i with a lot of time to hash out the latest dirt, so to speak. well, no...really, it was james and i talking at the bar and lou was running back and forth from the kitchen saying 'i can't talk about this anymore. i can't do this anymore', so i knew it was going to be about sam and i knew that he had been in every night that entire week, driving lou insane.

so that turned out to be the case; for some reason, sam has been coming in every night just to bark at people and now he wants his own key to the front door (i just find it funny that he's the owner and they won't let him have a key). james told me that the last time he had a key, he would come in at 7am and sprinkle bread flour all over the floor just to complain that the floor wasn't cleaned the night before. apparently one time, james said he measured a full cup of flour in the morning, even though he personally cleaned the night earlier.

so james said: fine, we'll give him a key, but we are changing the alarm code so that when he comes in at 7am he will wake up the entire neighbourhood. so we are going to set up a little camera and record the whole thing and james said whenever the staff morale get's low, we can play it in the kitchen for everyone to watch. if only we would (i really think he should - alarms are supposed to keep people out of places when they aren't supposed to be there. but, i can see how the camera thing and the laughing thing and the 'maybe it'll give him a heart attack' thing might take a toll on our karma).
