wherein bob has had the money stolen from his desk drawer, and JC has generously offered to spot him $5 for breakfast.
JC: "I'll have grain toast with vegemite and a long black"
hambeast: ok
bob:"I'll have a ham and tomato with cracked pepper toasted
sandwich on grain bread, with no cheese a flat white"
hambeast: "ok.. flat white"
hambeast: "what were you having"
bob: "ham and tomato with cracked pepper on grain bread"
hambeast: "that will be $5"
JC: *proffers a $50*
hambeast: points to me and says no that will be $5
bob: "no, he's paying for me too"
hambeast: *confused look* so.. what were you having?
JC: "grain toast with vegemite and a long black"
hambeast: ok.. *asks co worker for help*
coworker looks exasperated and helps.
hambeast: tries to grasp money in her hefty paw, eventually manages to get the change over the counter
some time passes
".. if that's my sandwich, I asked for no cheese"
hambeast: *removes cheese, does not put pepper back on the area where the cheese used to be.*
THE PREVIOUS DAY (hambeasts first day)
coworker: now hambeast, you cut the sandwiches like this, *cuts sandwich into two triangles*.
hambeast manages to nod, though you can hardly tell.
END FLASHBACK
My sandwich is half cooked, having been through their toasty machine only once, not the required twice. It is also cut straight across into rectangles. RECTANGLES!
Some people seem destined to fail, perhaps her purpose in life is to serve only as a warning to others.
I am hopeful that hambeast will not last long, however OTOH she'll be great story fodder.
