eh. i'm real frustrated that they didn't call today. i'm not taking it as a sign i won't be hired, but banking on them just being busy and forgetting. i was reaaaaaaally looking forward to putting in my notice tomorrow.

big day! lets hope i get some good news today.

short story shorter, it went great.


the executive chef i work for now even came in for dinner with his wife to personally give an endorsement for me. it was a really overwhelming gesture for him to do that for me.

i'll know on tuesday but its looking good!

i have a stage (that's staaaaaage, think french) tomorrow night at my 1st choice for a new job. the place changes their menu about every 2 weeks so i'll get to play with lots of fun things. i hope everything goes well

was really happy with my cooking this evening.


i think the girl that my buddy has had a...

got home and applied for...

anyways, the exec...
