Satisfied Mind

Jul 13, 2009 00:42

Today was a bad day, no way to avoid it. It sucked. I woke up early, went in to work for almost two hours, then was told to go home for a while, then come back in the afternoon. So that's what I did, and it sucked.

It rained when I went home for the middle of the day.

We got slammed for the entire evening as soon as I got back for the dinner shift.

But we weathered it--to speak of the blue collar meddle of a chef.

Except our boss was a dick at the end of the night because we didn't have a specific ingredient included in the sandwich-that-he-ordered-an-hour-after-we-stopped-taking-orders-for-employee-meals.

So this was what we did:

Terrance, the executive chef, bought me a beer.

I sent him home early and closed our side of the kitchen myself. Then I mopped the side of the kitchen that the girls usually do.

Then I hung out late and shared some jokes with the Moldovans.

Then the bosses' son and I drove out to the foot of Shadow Mountain and got high.

And that's how we made a bad day into a good day.

kitchen experience, best day ever, god bless the working stiff!
