Woes

Kind of disappointing weekend. First, the Euro 2008 soccer

tourney is not going as we had hoped. Greece got knocked 

out first, and then Italy; the Italians lost a real heartbreaker

in the quarterfinals to Spain, on penalty kicks after a score-

less regular time and overtime. UGH.  Of course, being fans,

hubby and I will watch the semis and the final; the first semi

pits Germany against Turkey, the second has Russia against

Spain. Personally I hope Germany comes out the winner,

although the Russians have looked rather impressive. We 

shall see. At the restaurant, I had one waitress pull a no

call, no show for the second time, so she is out for good this

time; we had taken her back after she pulled this the first

time after hearing and believing her sob story. Then another

waitress gave her 2 weeks notice as she has some health 

issues and, unfortunately, a difficult family situation. So it

looks like we are about to enter another shorthanded

phase at the restaurant after going several months without

any employee issues. Not too surprising I guess, nature of

the beast so to speak!
