Frankenberry

so, in the restaurant business changes in the staff are pretty common.  busboys and dishwashers seem to have a pretty short shelf life for the most part.  it seems to be an ever changing cast of characters at times.  i'm not very good with names - but faces i will remember till the day i die.  and this one face i can't forget no matter how many Makers Marks i throw back!!  it was introduced to us as "Fernando"  but immediately became known as Frankenberry!  he was like a patchwork man - put together with discarded pieces of flesh.  he looked like a spry 89 year old.  every step looked as if it would be his last.  at first we all took it easy on the poor ancient creature - even as we all questioned the sense of hiring such a rickety fossil.  that compassion didn't last too long once we got to know him.  he was a nasty, temperamental, dishonest, judgemental, old bastard!  he became the bane of my existence after i had a couple big blow outs with him.  when i couldn't take his evil Nosferatu stare anymore i got him fired. that's right! don't cross me!!
