Thank God for liberal California healthcare regulations. A friend of mine has some crazy swelling in the left front lobe of his brain. He has no health insurance of his own, being a career chef who has always worked in independent restaurants, but he has lived with his girlfriend for a while, and her health insurance carrier lets her claim him as a domestic partner,...

So I'm getting laid off as of the end of the year. Dec. 31 is my last day. At least they gave me warning, but it's not like any place around is going to hire anyone over the course of the holidays. So I'm quite possibly completely fucked.

Well, I keep thinking things are all coming together for me, and they keep crumbling away bit by bit. I have a long history of things working out for me when circumstances go bad, but I'm starting to wonder how far I can stretch it.
I keep thinking, if I can just get through the next month, I'll be able to get it together ......

I blame it on LA. That place really baffled me and I've lived and traveled all over the place and I really didn't like LA. I don't think I would even go there for work again if I can help it.

working the day shift on thursday until 3pm. stop by at 2 and it will be mellow enough to chat. my schedule is a little different this week....going to big bear over the weekend to learn how to snowboard!
Just finished unloading the moving van into my new apartment. Still waiting on the electricity to be turned on (supposed to be today some time), and still waiting for my bed to be delivered, which should be any minute now.
My phone battery is about to die, as is my laptop battery.
But someone in my building has an open wireless network

So things have been topsy-turvy for a while.
I was living the happy life, and it's all sort of falling to pieces all around me. I think in the end it will be for the best, but it's pretty gnarly right now.
I left a pretty well-paying job to go work for and learn from some chefs who I truly admire. Unfortunately, after a few...

Got a job offer from a place I worked in 3 years ago when I first moved to LA. Left the joint in February of last year. They're in the shit, and they offered me a lot of money.
About 3 weeks from now, I'll make the switch.

Well, after a 100-hour work week, I have tomorrow off. Got home around 430am, and the Singapore Grand Prix is about to start, so I'm gonna stay up and watch if I can, then crash for a bit before crashing someone's hot tub tomorrow afternoon and drinking all his beer.
kinto:
Still, you have stamina, my friend. Frankly, I'd be long-time dead if I was pushing myself the way you do 
Well, we opened tonight, and it went really well. Quite frankly, I was nervous as Hell all day long until we actually started service, and then I just started having a lot of fun. It was way rad.
Supposedly there's an article in the LA Times about us tomorrow, which probably means we'll get crushed the next few days. Not sure how I feel about...
