working interview/new job

[spinncognito]

Congrats on the job and wise choice too. I did the crazy restaurant cooking thing years ago. Getting the waitress to cry was a symbol of strength and earned me great respect from my peers and lotsa after-work "fun" with the crying waitresses.

If you ever want to put the hectic "Anthony Bourdain" lifestyle behind you, consider healthcare cooking. Great beniifits, predictable and fishing-friendly schedule (no late nights) and way less stress. Perhaps a bit less challenging cooking-wise but you do need skilz. I did it for 8 years after 10 in the chaotic restaurant scene and now have been managing the place for more than 10 years. No regrets.

making waitresses cry was always a good time at the irish pub i worked at.

sending the girls to the office for the things like:

the bacon stretcher
the rice peeler
the box of steam
the eagle knife
the fish stretcher
chicken underbelly

watching the look on the managers face was always priceless.

my favorite thing to do was to 86 medium hamburgers in the middle of dinner, the poor waitress or hostess would go out and tell all the other staff that we were out of medium hamburgers, the waitresses that knew better would just shake there heads.

or making a waitress go to the table to get a temp on a veggieburger.

good times.

Ive been trying to get into the assisted living or retirement or school programs for a while, seems tough to get into.
