sauce the cat returns

For the folks who are just tuning in please refer to "sauce the cat" posted on August 4th for a full explanation of the events preceding this blog.
Sauce the cat has returned!! Yes that prodigal cat of Buca di Beppo has now been placed back at her rightful place, but not after quite a fight. Apparently some of Sauce's captors decided to write a ransom note to the managers of the restaurant that was not recieved well. The general manager, or "paisano" as they are called in Buca language, said that the note was in bad taste and "nearly criminal" in intent. The note included the ransom conditions that in order to get the cat back they must "whack" a member of the management team. Rumor has it that one of the managers took the note to be so threatening as to cry himself to sleep that night. This rumor is unconfirmed officially, but is definately funny enough to be posted on this blog! Imagine crying yourself to sleep over a ransom note for a 2' porcelain cat!! I mean seriously, that's just stupid.

Well, whether or not he cried himself to sleep or not this same rumored manager is said to be writing a letter to the corporate office claiming harrassment. Now mind you none of the employees at Buca enjoy this particular individual, and we do pick on him quite frequently, but harassment is definately over the top! Why doesn't he just write a note to corporate stating the fact that he is fair to poor in his job performance and is socially incompetent...that would be true!

So bottom line is that our "paisano" manager is looking for the culprits of the note. The writer of this blog was not involved in the writing of the note (even though I think it's funny), but does know who did write the note. So on behalf of those who may lose their jobs I returned Sauce and talked with the manager knowing three important peices of information that helped reassure me: 1. I did not write the incriminating letter. 2. The paisano likes me. 3. If I did get fired I am only at Buca for another week. I did not get fired, but am now being hassled to tell who wrote the letter. I say it's up to the writers to turn themselves in. What do you think?

I say that the whole incident is funny. Aside from the inappropriate note and the pending harrassment suit it was a good prank. And I'm sure that Sauce enjoyed it.

    Seriously though, that's some serious over reacting.

    See you in court!
