So, work was interesting this week. I was closing up, still had all the doors and windows open because it was hot as poo poo this week. Meanwhile, down the street an armed robbery is happening. Police arrive and chase the guy on foot. He runs up the alley like ten feet from where I'm standing, takes a shot at the cops, and somehow escapes. They still haven't found the guy.

Nope, just a (usually) boring small town. On the plus side, it did make me less stressed about my job performance the rest of the week.

Jaded industry goons, there are good restaurants out there. I am a lowly dishwasher at age 31. It is my first restaurant job. I clearly have not made the best decisions in my life, but now I work my rear end off and can handle my station. When I voiced my frustration about constantly having an unreasonable workload left by another dishwasher, they fixed the problem and gave me a 10% raise, because they know how much I bust my rear end. They close for two days a week so I get an actual weekend, and I get 3 paid days off this week for the holiday.

Skwirl posted:You live in Cali? Pennsylvania (the bad part). Honestly I love where I work but because of that (low BOH turnover rate) it has been such a struggle to work my way up the ladder. I'm getting some prep work but that's about it. Probably doesn't help that my social skills are poo poo, though.

Please do not expect gluten free fare from our restaurant. We literally bake bread from scratch here every day. Flour is everywhere and your gluten intolerance is most likely bullshit. In short, gently caress you.

I moved up to line cook after washing dishes for a year and a half. It's been awesome and terrifying, but I think I'm through the worst of the transitional nightmare.

Whoops, didn't realize I was posting in the middle whatever the gently caress this is. Good rule of thumb is that the owner is always at fault, though.

Holy poo poo I am bad at editing. Anyway I've been a line cook for about a month after working my way up from dishwasher. By all accounts I'm doing well, but I wish I sucked less at communicating with other human beings.

Science WHORE posted:We catered a wedding last night at a fancy craft brewery and holy gently caress I wish I could get a toe in the door in brewery science (I have a micro and chemistry degree, so I’ve been trying like hell). I only had a quick second to chat with one of the brewing folks but he loves his job and gets to do all sorts of traveling, conferences and education. Unfortunately, that was cut short by hundreds of drunken wedding guests. Our brewer works by himself in his own space and isn't subject to the whims of customers. Lucky bastard.

Science whore, come to my podunk town. We have at least 4 craft breweries within a half mile of downtown, and we're all dumb as poo poo. Also cost of living is cheap.

I guess young people ain't no picnic either to be fair. Motherfucker, if you're good with the French onion soup, you don't need the gluten free bread for your sandwich. "Cutting back" isn't a thing. Please die in a fire.

And while typing this from my corner hiding spot 9just heard the word "zoophilia." You did nothing wrong.
