How sad is it that the kitchen manager from our sister restaurant that I've seen 4 times a week (at least) for the last 2 years didn't recognize me when I was standing in front of him
( Read more... )
One of the kids at work today was surprised that I remembered her name. I said, I try. Just don't change your hair. Seriously, it happens all the time. A kid takes a haircut or changes something and I can't remember who they are. So it's not unthinkable that a co-worker might not recognize you when you're dressed! (You know what I mean!)
You don't work at the college anymore? Or do you have 5 jobs at the college. Sounds very busy. Sounds like a profession I should not choose if teaching/librarian doesn't work out.
I'm still at the college. It's grad/end of class season. The different programs will have exhibitions and showcases so they want food for anywhere from 100-350 people. The college no longer uses anyone but us (which is a compliment I suppose) so our catering has increased exponentially. Unfortunately, my wage hasn't. I'll be happy if they pay for parking next year.
Right now my hours are through the roof so the business manager has been hounding the executive chef to be careful with labour costs.
It's not my fault Mr. Money Man won't put me on salary. Even with a hefty raise it would still be cheaper than keeping me on an hourly rate, especially this time of the year.
It's odd sometimes how management doesn't consider the practical side when it comes to salary!
And no, I really couldn't do your job at all... though working with kids, especially at the middle school level is no picnic. You love them one minute and want to strangle them the next!
But cutting, slicing, cooking for lots and lots of people... make it taste good and look nice. Nope. Not for me. I have no patience in the kitchen.

Dear Lord, I do so love when you resurface, romie! I bet you could kick ass on Hell's Kitchen.
MILF????? *more hysterical laughing*... not at you, but more in a "You GO, girl" way.
Hey, ROMIE! Nice to see you around these parts. I'm working my way up to MILF. Need to get back to the gym...someday? Srsly, I think this is the longest I've been without.
And...this is the first season we haven't known someone on Hells Kitchen, i.e., someone from the husband's workplace (hey, we even had Jeff from Top Chef this season), so I think you should totally rock their world, you know? So I'd have someone to root for.
Aw but, babes...I'd never tell ya that to your face! Beside, I'd be guessing your lil' darlins are the kind that make me crazy...but there's sumpin about them that I love---I do have a few of those, too.

I've always had straight hair. I mean really, really straight. It only took 48 years before I had good hair days
( ... )
Nope, nuh-uh, *runs for the hills 'til I drop dead from exhaustion*
And I'd never want to prep/cook/serve for a living so I guess we're both exactly where we belong ! ;)
I've always had the curly-as-hell hair, now auburn over all that grey. I'd die of shock if it turned straight (would have been so pleased in the late 60's early 70's though)

Teaching/Librarian?
Working with kids?
Um, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You're my hero.
A semi trained monkey can do my job.
