ok it works

alrighty...well, it's been a long week already and i still got two shifts to go.  i've been kind of bumming this week, for reasons unknown.  tuesday i had a pretty bad day at work and i came home and rattled off a ton of shit i had on my mind and that's when the website crashed and my post was lost.  it's probably better that way.  it was a fairly depressing rant that turned into an ugly tirade.  i feel better now, i guess, for having written it, even though it didn't get posted.  kind of the old "write a letter mad letter to someone but never send it".  i dunno.  i think i saw it in a movie.  anyway.  whatever.  work is work.  it sucks sometimes but it also rules occasionally.  i can't complain.  i got it a hell of a lot better than a lot of folks.  i laugh a lot at work, and i get to smoke all the time, and i cuss and make dick jokes constantly, and sometimes i wear a fake moustache, and i'm always busting people's balls, and i'm comfortable shitting there.  it doesn't sound like much, but i know a lot of people who don't feel comfortable pooping at work.  actually, i don't, really...i barely know anybody, but i would imagine lots of people hate it.  whatever, we got hardcore strength poo spray, and i pick my times wisely.  i'm by myself in the afternoon a lot.  plus i got a blackberry so i can totally surf the web when i'm in there.  it's pretty awesome, actually.

wow.  ANYway...

once again it's friday, and i'm stoked cause we're running the gnar halibut and pub chips.  we've done it a few times this summer and it's always gone over well.  i'd just like to point out that i suggested it well over a year ago as a special, because the boss used to have the best fish n chips in town at the old restaurant.  our current fish and chips are mediocre at best.  at first when i suggested it he kind of balked cause we already have fish n chips and running a different fish n chips as a special would confuse our customers.  and i kind of agree...most of our customers and old and/or truckers.  anyway, it was when i suggested doing fresh pub chips with the fish to set it apart from our menu fish n chips that he decided to do it.  the pub chips are a huge hit (boss's mom loves them, so that helps considerably) and they're SUPER easy...i just slice russet potatoes on the slicer, not too thin...then i blanch them in water and a bit of lemon juice for a couple hours, and then just chuck them in the fryer and toss them with some seasoning mix (i tend to meddle a bit and make a different one every time i do the chips).  they come out somewhere between home fries and lay's chips, and everybody seems to like them.  and the halibut, with our kick ass beer batter, is awesome, and the girls usually bug bossman until he tells me to cook one for the crew.

anyway, so that's what's on tap for tonight.  i'm listening to ice cream man by van halen right now, and it's near the top of itunes when i sort by times played.  it's pretty much the best song ever. 

so, yeah...that's it.
