so i don't know what kind of drugs 'the owner' is on, but basically he gets off on coming into the cafe when he knows it's busy, just to bitch at people and to call his prostitute on saturday nights.

so tonight, he starts by telling everyone that they have to cut their hair (even though ryan and james both just had haircuts). that's normal.

but it escaltes; he doesn't want the kitchen staff to get two meals anymore, even though their shifts are twelve hours long and they aren't allowed to take breaks to go and buy food. you don't know how many people quit last year because of shift meal dilemmas. we have to sneak them out the backdoor now...anyway. he started fighting with james at around 7:30 and whenever james was occupied, he would go fight with tony.

then he came upstairs where i was working with mike and alain and he just stared off into space for about a half an hour. every so often, he would go to the phone so he could try to hook up with his prostitute and you could tell that she wasn't going to have him tonight. so then we all went back into the kitchen to talk about what a total freak he was and we could totally hear him behind the door listening to what we were saying.

after this, he goes back downstairs and i think he's gone, but a few minutes later, i walk by the window and he's just standing in the middle of the road outside - glaring at me! i had to ask ryan to look out and see if it was really him because a) i thought i was crazy and b) it was just the most terrifying face i have ever seen him make that i couldn't face to look out again.

anyway, now there's this big secret plan going down and i think the restaurant might really get split up because certain people are looking at certain property and might be leaving and taking certain people with them...shhh...but it's going to be really funny because all night, we were trying to figure out the funniest ways we could quit.
