A day at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, in early fall…

…when a trip that I was taking to a conference was already in sight, including a bunch of days that I was set to take off:

1) When my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker is super busy and is abruptly handing me bundles of take-out packages to take out from the kitchen and set in the areas where they’re staged for delivery drivers or for distribution to people walking in to pick up their take-out orders, she was always like, “Here, take this,” and “Take this,” over the course of multiple interactions.

“Who will [her first name] command when I’m gone?”, I then ask aloud in front of her and several other people, when she comes up to me and does that again.

2) When towards the end of shift we reflect that there weren’t very many dine-in tables but we had a lot of calls for take-out from like the minute we opened at 5pm onwards, I’m like, “That’s because [the first name of our one (older) (Thai) coworker who’s a whiz at the phones] has a sexy voice, and everyone wanted to talk to her today.”

“Sure,” she was like.
