work work work

this weekend was hell on earth for me at work.
Its busy at a resteraunt on weekends, so we had alot of cooks working. i'm a cook too. I got stuck on salad, which is on the pizza end, meaning i do the salads and desserts for the pizza cook during the night when they are too busy doing pizzas.
I usually work with the same person, so thats means im in at 4, they're at 5. I restock and do the pan change, and cut the pizza for them, turn it in the oven, and refill their toppings during the night, plus do the salads and keep myself stocked. Then at 830 when we die down, they get their way and leave early, while im stuck there as the last person before the closer. Its the same on friday and saturday.
There is no dignity in that. The only thing i like is that im not actually as busy as the other sections like broil, who does all the food thats not pizza, pasta or speciallty. then on sunday i was by myself on pizza. I got my ass kicked. It was non stop 16 inch pizzas to go and for the people eating there. i didnt get top restock until after 7pm.
Then around 830 the drain started to bubble up water all over the floor up on the cook line. It went all under my ends coolers, and the ovens in the niddle. I helped ryan mop it up, and before we were done we had to empty the mop bucket because we had so much water on the floor. Shortly after we dumped the water and almost had it all clean, it did it again, only worse. By this time our maintance guy came in to wet/dry vaccum the floor and check out the drain. we realized it might be connected to the mop sink and when the first bucket was dumped it pushed the water back up, and if the bar area was mopped up and the water was dumped earlier, then that caused the initial bubbling.
so the maintance guy should have came in this morning to fix it. I hope its fixed by the time i go back to work tomorrow, that was the worst smelling mess i have ever delt with at work.
