may your seasonal affective disorder take you lightly

with thanks to Colson Whitehead, who i may get to see later this month. maybe the lack of my corporate chef and the chef i'm training now will have a say in how i'm asking for an early out on a saturday, but so what. i'll schedule heavy.

V, the corporate chef, is going to be on the road that week. new chef, D, is off that weekend because it's the one year anniversary of his wife's death. so i'm left in control again, with too many idiocies.

always a groomsman, never the groom? i guess that's how i feel in these situations. i do it all the time, yet no one will give me the singular title.

and yes, that weekend's gonna be a bitch.
