A recent day at work...

...at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now:

1) After this incident where some of us run into each other at the local farmer's market -- my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker is there with the (newer) (younger) (mustachioed) (Thai) cook, and we're by the farmstand of the one (Lao) lady, to whom my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker says, "He's my friend," to which I say, "And she's my best friend," and while we're doing all of that, who walks up but the oldest daughter of the (Thai) restaurant owners, in sunglasses -- and, anyhow, I mention again at work how funny that all was, and suddenly my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker is like, "Shhhh, be careful, don't talk about that at work!", and then she says that the owners' daughter was actually there with some guy, and it seems like a situation where she doesn't want her parents to know.

2) When I try some flower-shaped shortbread cookies that the (Thai) restaurant owners brought back from (Thailand) for everyone, I tell my one (older) (Thai) coworker who's a whiz at the phones that they're good, but hers that she makes are better.

"I know," she's like.

3) Because of the heatwave, the metal door lintel swells up, and for a while the front door won't close entirely, until the (husband) (Thai) restaurant owner comes out from the back office and fixes it, I think by screwing down the door lintel severely with the help of some power-tools.
