Just dumped my boyfriend sad but glad I finally made the step. Hope everyone is having a better day than I am.

Had a rough couple weeks! Power went out in our building shuffling the walk ins to a refrigerator truck was a bit of a nightmare. Then the fridge truck went out! Super fun! But I’m doing okay! Thanks for asking chef how are you holding up?

I have 6 sous chefs. I love them all except for one who happens to be the Sous 1 (head dick in charge). Today he pulled me to the side and blindsided me by saying I suck at my job in so many words and he would be replacing me because I am not up to his standards as a sauté cook.
Contrast this with my other 5 sous chefs complimenting me growth and going to bat for me constantly, encouraging me. Service today was rough, we beat our sales forecast by several thousand dollars. My team was all hugs and smiles with me at the end of service but this one sous just had to demoralize me. Sucks but I don’t place much stock in what this jerk thinks because I’ve seen he’s not much of a leader. He’s just a great chef and know it all lol

I get to watch all the servers and less senior staff get their requests filled to go to festivals and beach trips and I’m stuck here in a hot ass kitchen doing deep cleaning. Luckily the bartender is chill and keeps me refreshed.

The world is dying, fascism is rising, I’m always tired, I range from tolerating to disliking my job, and money isn’t going as far as it used to.
But the new weed I got is pretty good, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a banger, and my 10 year wedding anniversary is a couple weeks away and I still love my husband.
So, could be worse

The Oz man has been part of a soundtrack to my life in the kitchens.

Not ideal, not gonna lie. I’m in a physical health flare up so I’m trying to take rest time, which is good for the body but hard on the brain. I’m mentally built like a husky with the body of a 97′ dodge neon you got off of Craigslist for $450. But I have some cute dogs and a new video game to look forward to, so I’m hanging in there.

Still breathing, chef. Rubber side down.

Not great chef, feeling a little stuck and underemployed but I’ve got good people on my side.
Side of fries needs a ticket too btw

Not great!
But hey, the physical issues I have that basically took me out of the kitchen, are improving a bit. I’m able to stand 10 minutes at a time now thanks to all the work I’ve put into physical therapy (and thanks to my awesome PT people, too.)
For probably the first time in 3 years I was able to stand long enough to get a shower, and then managed to stand long enough to make myself breakfast. Poached eggs on homemade sourdough toast with avocado butter, a couple slices of bacon. I cried. It was good.
Things are getting better.

A little complicated- typically am. I locked in and I don’t know how to get out of this career. I had an employee ask me “when’s the last time you went on vacay/road trip” and the answer was never. Life hit the fan as a teen worked into adulthood have zero to show for it. Someone was talking about going to Turks n Caicos (whatever) just like cool……I should get a gun- I have nothing…..for a decade of work roughly. 🙂 I have failed- i need to go to therapy, I need to be able to breathe, I need someone to pretend to care or ask unprovoked “how are you” just once…..a hug any general compassion. Nope we go go go go move move move rinse repeat. It just hitting a point that I don’t want anything anymore. That’s bad. I used to be a drunk, crashed out my life got sober got in shape. Fucking hate it all as a kitchen manager. It’s fucking stupid that I thought this would make me happy or at this point money or any sort of respect.

Been a rough couple months to be honest, got a funeral to go to next week. I started a new job though, making good money and doing something new, and the fiance and I are planning the wedding. We just finished setting up our storage room properly, all shelved and organized, been meaning to do that since we got the place last year.
Been better, been worse. Thanks for asking, and I hope you’re doing alright too homeskillet!
