Since today was slow and since we didn't have to do like hardly any prep, I ended up cleaning most of the day. I actually only focused on one thing that took up the greater part of the shift. I did have some prep {I had to make a batch of dough and grate some garlic} and I had some orders throughout the day. Other than that I spend most of the day scrubbing the shit out of a couple parts on the fryer.

Now I know that whenever you go to McDonald's, Burger King, or some other fast food restaurant, you've seen the fryers. And the pieces that hold up the baskets when they're not being used usually {or are at least supposed to} come off so as to be cleaned. Well, on our fryers those particular pieces {we have 2} are supposed to be taken off and cleaned every couple weeks. Since we work in a store full of procrastinators {I being one of the biggest ones} it kept getting put off and put off, until it got to the point were no one really thought about it. Until today.

Due to the fact that it was so slow, we agreed that since we didn't know how long its been since the last time it was done, I had to clean it. I scrubbed and I scrubbed. I used a lot of oven and grill cleaner. I had to keep taking breaks so that I could do orders and let my hands rest. It was really gross. But it looks much better now that its clean. I wonder how long its going to stay that way. I might go in to work earlier the next time I have to change out the oil so that I can take them off and clean them before they get too bad again.

Anywho, nothing exciting happened today. Lance said he'd come over tomorrow. Who knows if he'll show. He was supposed to come over Sunday night too, but never did. One can only hope right?

Oh, I downloaded this game called DX-Ball. Its an awesome game. A good few years ago {like back in the late 90s} my uncle gave us a disc so that we could upload this game to the computer. I became addicted to it. And I got really really good at it too. Its very similar to the games where you have bricks set up a certain way and you have a ball that you aim at the bricks. Its where you have to knock the bricks and sometimes stuff falls from them to either help you or hurt you. I love it cuz its a challenge. And its been forever since I played it.

Alrighty, I don't know what else to say. Nothing else happened that's worth writing about. I'll write again tomorrow.

Wait... deep fryer? Where exactly do you work?
