Too loving soon, Samiz. Tomorrow I have to pick up the pieces of my least liked coworker's lack of work ethic due to the fact that we don't have a late night dishwasher and the casual quit because the douchebag of a coworker basically intimidated her and never made an effort to ease her into the job and gotten into many arguments over what are they supposed to do that I got fed up and took over for them to keep things running. Our twat of a boss' solution is just give the late shift an extra half to fill in the position but in reality the coworkers involved (except me) just leaves everything unwashed for me to handle as I do work on both the front and back since we work for a catering company.

I get stuff in the mail addressed to "Chef CdC." Does that mean I've finally made it? In other news, I think it's about time I start shopping around for an exec position.

Faulty sprayer head on our suppression system. Security footage shows that it blew around 11:15 last night. 1/2 inch of water on the entire upstairs dining area, all running into the basement. Insurance company is closed today, so we'll get a full assessment tomorrow. We're closed until further notice, owners are fleshing out the details of our financial situation right now. It's funny, the bank bought our building a little over a month ago, which put another layer of insurance on the whole thing. It sounds like the previous building owner knew the sprinkler heads needed to be replaced and never did it, so we'll see how that shakes out. Either way, it's a huge shitshow.

We always had the one joke rule in the kitchen -- if the Ansul system went off, you're loving fired. I guess water isn't AS bad, but, ugh. Also today marks the six year anniversary of when I pulled my spine out of my rear end and decided to get out of the industry. Six months later I was headin back to school.

We once had a guy who set the ansul off twice in the course of about 3 months. Both times were about, oh, 730 or so on a friday night. He did not get fired. I dont work there either anymore, which has, so far, been a wonderful life choice.

Double #5 today because the only other cook had a full keg fall on his toe 10 minutes into his Monday shift. I'm the only one who knows how to open, prep, run, and close my station... Not even the sous or exec or chef/owner can.

If it's enough to crush the toe of a steeltoe boot, your toe's traumatically amputated by the impact anyway. This is like "in an impact you're better off being thrown clear of the car so don't wear a seatbelt."
