just watched gordan ramsey's kitchen nightmares on BBC america. aside from treating people like shit, i really like watching what ramsey does. cleaning out the garbage and getting shit done right with plain talk and common sense. i envy people who get to work in a real restaurant. i guess thats why i plan to go back to school. learn me some of that shit. work in someplace real and successful. guess i'll have to learn to cook better...
i don't like my job. i like the line of work and i like my staff and i like the food (kinda), but i don't like the job. i dont' like the owner and i don't like this shitty little fast-food franchise life. i don't like alot of the customers, too, but i guess that's part of the game. if you're in a restaurant, stupid people are gonna come in and piss you off. whatever...but i want more! i want better. i'm gonna go out and learn how do to that shit and satisfy myself.
when the fuck did i decide i liked working in a restaurant so much? its hell when i'm there, but afterwards its perfect hanging out with these people--coworkers--and having a drink and relaxing. when its busy, its fucking chaos at its most controlled. when shit goes wrong, its almost FUN to fix it (almost) and when things are hectic there's no time to worry about whats gonna happen next. you just kinda take shit as it comes and try your best.
i've noticed things go better when its hectic and we're busy. like everyone's on their A game. but when shit slows down, people stop paying attention and shit goes wrong. weird...
right now my staff is perfect. its small, its manageable, and no one is stupid. we all do stupid shit, but everyone knows how to get it right. now i just wish i could get these fucking menu changes done and over with.
i hate doing homework. it didn't take long, but i hate doing it. guess i'm spoiled. man, school is gonna suck! maybe i shouldn't have waited 5 years to go back...of course, i'm still not back, so i'll quit talking until i actually get enrolled.
went to some Brazilian place with my friends the other night. fucking DROOL!!! the meat was so perfect...those poor animals did not die in vain! between that place, Chef Ramsey, and Anthony Bourdain, i can't think of anything else i wanna do for the rest of my llife but workin in restaurants or bars...except maybe porn star. that sounds cool.
i'm gonna go get high now and wait for my day off. cheers!

Where do you work, if you don't mind my asking? I'm at the St Julien in Boulder and I completely understand the crazy balance between busy/on it vs slow/fucking up... And menu changes suck! I'm not looking forward to revising our menu this winter.

just a little mexican place...fast food, not a real restaurant. still, it can be a hassle. i'd like to move up in the business and start working in more traditional dining places, but this is a good way to get my feet wet i think.
