well high school seemed like such a drag, i didn't have much interest in sports or school elections

ok so nobody is guessing my songs.  the dude from blacklungcrayola finally got the clutch song (electric worry, btw) and one of the cooks i work with has guessed all of them but gets no bonus awesome points cause she told me and didn't leave a comment.  should i keep doing this?  it's up to you.  i could care less.  it seems a bit tiresome after ten posts, actually.

anyway, WHOOOO!  busiest night we've had in weeks.  we ran the always fantastic beer battered halibut (bayern amber) and a great coleslaw (i made fresh dressing) but we had friggin jo-jos, which my boss insisted upon because he loves big chunks of floury potato.  he likes his french fries the exact opposite way i like mine.  i hate jo-jos.  but hey, i didn't have to eat any, just cook a bunch.  we had 18 orders of the halibut, which was stepping out on a limb considering how slow we've been lately, and we sold 13 of them when i left (still open for an hour). it was just nice having a normal friday diner rush for a change.  we all know the xmas to valentines day lull (well, those of you that don't work in restaurants probably don't---slowest time of year is between xmas and v-day), but it's been especially bad this year for my place, and it started around thanksgiving.  i've been bored as shit a LOT at work the last few weeks, and my god, it was a fucking relief to be busy and sell specials, and everybody was in a good mood, and we all got to nosh on some wicked fish.

in other news tomorrow is my friday and i hope we're busy again cause that would make three days in a row and i wanna end the week on a good note.  i like not being bored.  i like being busy.  i like cooking food for people.  i always enjoy my weekends more when i've kicked ass and knocked out a ton of plates on saturday night.
