I'm not completely out of the water yet, but I'm no longer in as deep as I was. Alright, here's what happened yesterday and the current outcome.

Yesterday was going just fine. Like I said I hadn't gotten a very good night's sleep, but I was in a fairly good mood. Around 3ish, Gary takes a break cuz he was going to be there for the greater part of the night shift. While he's on break, I simply remind Jose that he still needs to do the Sicillians {one of the types of dough we make}. I don't tell him anything other than that. Now the way that his fucked up, issue filled mind works, he misinterprets what I said. To him it sounded like I was telling him to drop whatever it was that he was doing {which was nothing mind you}, to ignore the orders and the customers and that he wasn't moving fast enough for my liking. ~~> Mind you this is a guy who thinks you're mad at him or that he did something wrong if you just say 'hi' to him <~~ So anywho, that apparently triggers something in his head and he just started going downhill. When Gary got back from his break, Jose had a few orders that he somehow managed to fuck up. And he made like 3 mistakes in a row within like, a matter of mintues. When Gary confronts Jose {he doesn't yell at him, he just simply askes him why he messed up} it became to the point that he was now dangling off the cliff. He broke down into tears. And then he walked out of the shift. He didn't leave the restaurant, but he quit. Then he bought some alcohol and decided to get drunk.

This is the part where I come in and why I'm in the water in the first place. I'm the one who sold him the alcohol and it was a little more than the legal amount for one person to have. Now, I've never gone to an alcohol class so I wasn't completely aware of what the legal amount was. Thinking back, it did seem like a bit much for one person. But what's done is done. And just thinking of the consequences that I could be paying, is enough to make me never do that again. So back to Jose's downfall.

Jose now feels that its okay to start drinking there even after he had walked out of his shift. Gary was now pissed cuz he had to pick up the slack. Jose continued to get drunk and after a long talk with Joe, he just wouldn't leave. I left around 6 and he was still there. About an hour later, they called the cops on him. Gary called me and from the gist of what I was being told, Jose went to leave and ran his bike into the driver's car. According to the driver, the dent is pretty big. I had already left and I wasn't about to go back. I didn't want to get involved in any more of a way than I already was. So I'm not completely sure as to how the day ended, but I know that the mistake I made I'm definately not going to make again.

As of right now, Jose was in jail this morning. I'm not sure if he still is or not. All I know is that he kept calling all day wanting to talk to Joey and Erin. Joe, nor Joey, blame me for what happened because Jose is just really fucked up in the head. However, they and I admit that I sort of contributed to it since I'm the one who served him the alcohol. But they've both talked to me about it, and its been made extremely clear to me. But until the driver gets the dent in his car figured out with the cops, I'm not out of the water.

I'm trying not to freak out. I was so scared this morning as to what could happen today that I was shaking. I was really upset by it last night too. But today was actually not bad at all.. I was talked to again, but like I said, I'm not being blamed for what happened. Other than that it was an unusually slow day. We literally had barely any business. Oh well. Tomorrow is Friday and I have no clue what its going to bring. The only thing I can do is hope for the best.

Now that this entry is officaially the longest entry I've written in quite some time, I'm going to end it here.

Alcohol = bad. :/

The thing is, with a lip ring, I don't think you can take it out without the hole umm... sealing up. I don't know, I don't have any piercings, even ears... I was just considering it...

You're not liable for what happened because Jose decided to drink and to buy, not you. The only thing your guilty of is not taking the alcohol class, but that really wouldn't bar you from giving the man his booze. If anyone is to blame, its Jose's pill prescriber.
