so i think it's my schedule that is making it difficult for me to blog as much as i should, or as much as i used to. i'm back on nights (power cooks for power shifts, i'm told) and nine times out of ten i don't get home till around midnight. a shower and some food and a tall boy later it's one am and i just don't feel like typing.
anyway, things are going pretty well. believe it or not, i've been at the new new place just as long as i was at new place. took me a while to really get going, to figure out the groove of the kitchen and establish myself as one of the hardcores. but i'm there. i can fully say that i kick ass at work now. plus we have a good goddamn time while we're kicking ass. on friday, the daytime kitchen manager was still milling around and drinking and kinda stood there and watched the first hour or so of dinner service, and man, he just looked forlorn. he left for a bit and i asked the nighttime kitchen manager "dude, who shit in miyagi's cereal? he looks bummed" and i was told "he's just jealous of how much fun we can have and kick ass at the same time". we were all dancing around to lady gaga or the scissor sisters and jacking our jaws and laughing and all that, but we were still absolutely cranking food out...six minute ticket times. i guess there's power struggles and pissy attitudes during the day, but we don't see that at night. we got a kickass crew, we all know our jobs, and we're a fucking team. i guess not so much during the day.
so, yeah, things are good. my schedule and paychecks so far leave something to be desired, but whatever...it is what it is. the good outweighs the bad. plus the mets are playing hot and the US drew with england yesterday. so, yeah...things are good.

Oh, glad work is going great. I just finished my 3 months of day shift man am I happy to be on nights again. Day shift sucks ass. Prep, coffee, prep coffee, prep, one hour hit, prep, prep, beer. Plus all the hot waitress work at night. I hated going to sleep at 10pm, I felt old.
hey mikey. good to hear you're still holding down the line somewhere. you may not remember me but we used to work together at the place where your ear exploded. it's cool knowing not many people can do what we do, and even less can do it well.
