Robo Hobo Homo #049, The 'Stache Saga, Part I

So I might have mentioned that I do dishes after dinner. It usually takes me about two hours. I need to cut it down to something reasonable like an hour and a half, but it’s a work in progress.

There are a lot of guys in the kitchen at night. Sometimes the breakfast cook comes in to make something. Sometimes cleanup crews come in. Sometimes the guy that runs the kitchen comes in and…I think I’ve griped about this before now that I come to think of it.

One of the things the night cook does is check the sign-up sheet on the door to see who needs a late dinner. The goal is that everyone gets a job so they can move out, right? Well, the shelter still provides dinner even if you’re working during dinner. It’s pretty sweet.

Well at night I’m sometimes the only person in the kitchen with the evening meals. Now, I don’t have any specific authority over it, but I’m the only person ‘on the clock’ while folks are getting their meals. I’ll usually notice when someone saunters in to get a meal, but I generally do my job and assume everything goes to plan.

Until Tuesday night, whenever a guy, ‘Stache, didn’t get his meal. He came in an asked about it, but I didn't see it on the table for late dinners. I felt pretty bad and checked around the kitchen for it, but if it wasn’t on the table, then someone ate it.
