Well shit...
Last tuesday I got a long awaited and much hoped for promotion. I'm now the newest cook at Caffeine Cafe. I was to take over the shifts that my manager had been working untill we found another chef.
I want to make a carreer in food and was exited about learning the ropes in a low key enviornment under a highly experianced and knowlegeble chef. It was the perfict situation.
Today that chef quit without notice.
Now I'm going to get thrown into the fire. My manager and I will be splitting his shifts. It's good for me in the short term as I won't be needing another job to get by, but this has very quickly turned from a learning experiance that could jump start my career to a slogging, dead end situation.
