I'm a true believer that if you talk things out with others, no matter what it is, you will always find a solution.
I know some people go with the...well, they just don't like putting their business out there. True, some things you want to keep to yourself. But I think that there isn't nothing on the earth that isn't too big of a problem to share with at least ONE person. Let me correct that, one breathing, alive person. You already, for some, give your worries to God. But a human being, I think, you may get the answers to your problems or questions.
Guy at work got got cheating on his girlfriend that he lives with. He had moved in with her. Another co worker female, took a liking to this guy, so they sarted going out. I always wondered why he was so quiet at work, played the strong...'Im crazy and I don't give a fuck atittude' type. It was only to impress her. Well his live in girlfriend got the mail one day and notice credit card statements for dinner, and a hotel room...on the day he says he was working late at the shop, the kitchen. Girlfriend had went all out for him too. Bought him clothes, leased a car for him. That day she showed up at the job, tow truck and all his clothes. Changed the locks and said its over. He quits the job right on the spot. Baffled the fuck out of me. He tells me afterwards, that he is like me, a Player.
Hold up. Dude, I'm no Player. There is a BIG difference in what you did and who I am. Now the female co worker is NOW aware of what was going on with him. So I guess he quit because of getting cauggt, oh well.
But what got me highly fucked up... he quit and The Chef says I take over his position. Means more hours and responsibility, right? Okay on the hours part. But what did was his duties in the kitchen. He assmebled the food trays and every Tuesday, clean and cook off 6 cases of chickken breast. It takes him 6 hours to do that. Wanna know what I do? In a zip lock baggy, 1 cup of Quacker Oats, and a quarter cup of Chocolate Protien Whey....I do this 600 times. Then Corn Flakes in a baggy, 600 MORE times. Then I have to label covers, chicken, turkey, steak and fish..750 labels EACH. Then any other prep that needs done AND wash the pans and pots and whatever we use. I don't mind the washing though. Its the easiest thing to do when you have SCALDING ASS WATER!! I'm not complaining. I love my field of work. It's...
...there is a speed, a rhythm to a kitchen. Its established within the first 20 minutes when you walk in one. Turn music on, change your clothes into your uniform and set up your area. It does not take HOURS to do this. I don't care you went out drinking last night and you're hungover. Each person has a job to do, and we all depend on you being here READY and FIT to work. Gotta go, was just called into work.
