So we opened this new restaurant 4 months ago. We're doing pretty well, especially for a brand-new place in a crap economy. But the owner has decided that the food and concept is more than he wanted, and that he'd rather have a pizza & burger joint and not pay a chef to run the place. He wants a place that will just run itself with a bunch of cheap labor and not try to do anything special. So basically he let me know that within 4 months I'll probably no longer have a job there.

I'm meeting with a recruiter this afternoon. There's not a whole lot out there right now, and what is out there is very hotly contested -- too many people looking for jobs. At least I don't have to find something immediately.

I'm SO FUCKING TIRED of changing jobs. Seriously. In the last 15 months I've worked at 5 different places, and now I'm looking for #6. I need to find a place that is going to last for at least a couple years. Plus that, I need to find a place where I'm in charge of the menu completely and don't have to bust my ass to make other peoples' ideas come off so they can get the credit.
