Confessions of a Line Cook: well that sucked

well that sucked

so we had a couple of decent early dinner rushes on fri and sat, but both days our last table was at 8:30 and we close at ten.  an hour and a half without an order on a wed afternoon is rare, and for it to happen on friday night is fucking incredible, and then for it to happen again on saturday, well, that's just fucked up.  i would bet we start closing earlier next week.  there's just no point being open if nobody's coming in.  so that sucked.  it was homecoming weekend and we were hoping to be crazy busy and i was hoping to make shitloads in tips but neither happened.  lame.

also, the hoods seemed to stop working halfway through last night, and i had a couple ribeyes on that just fucking smoked up the whole restaurant.  and the boss wasn't sure the hoods weren't working, but when i cleaned the grill after we closed, the entire kitchen and back room were full of smoke/steam and i could barely see what i was doing.  it sucked.  i guess the hood guys are coming to clean tonight so hopefully when i go back to work on tuesday everything will be fine.  i doubt it, but i hope.

anyway, it's my weekend and i really don't wanna sit here and talk about work.  i wanna watch playoff baseball.  peace.
