Both of those can be summed up as "keep your professional relationships professional," because regardless of what you do the business is going to. You don't owe your employer anything outside of professional courtesy and whatever your employment agreement entails.

That said, if I had a good working relationship somewhere, and gave them notice, and they asked if they could pay me to train a replacement, or help out in my free time from new job, I would of course consider it. Being someone people can ask for help means they'll listen to you if you ever need help.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Update on my previous post.

I found out today that my parent company, in light of the recent pay scale restructuring I fought for, has hired a small firm to track pay rates for the region in order to stay competitive and avoid this happening again to other properties.

I may have caused a whole lot of people that I don't even work with to start seeing better pay.

2 new line cooks are plucking my every nerve. Both boast a ton of experience, more so than I have professionally. Now I'm not saying I'm all that and a bag of chips, but I have subscriptions to Cooks Illustrated that are literally older than most of my co-workers. So while I may not have boatloads of actual industry experience, but see poo poo like this...

Cook #1. Was supposedly head line cook at a resort once, yet did not know the difference between oysters and calamari. Asked me last night while we were in the walkin where the Romano was. "In those tubs up there, top shelf." "This?", he asks, holding a tub that says ROMANO right on it.

Cook #2. Guy who claims to have lived his whole life in restaurants. One of my competent coworkers asked for a sprig of parsley from his salad station. "YO WHAT THE gently caress IS A SPRIG, I DUNNO WHAT YOURE loving ASKING ME FOR", he yells, flying off on a meth-fueled rant. Hilariously also threw a toddler-like tantrum last night over being asked to break down some boxes and tidy the walk-in, mumbling "I came here to cook, not do this poo poo, the dishwasher should do this poo poo". Yeah, you came here to cook, but you don't know what a goddamn sprig of parsley is. No wonder chef put you on side work like that. You putz.

Thread, give me strength.

I'm not sure if y'all are being facetious or not, but hell yeah I love getting a 10 min break from standing next to two 600 degree ovens and hearing the ticket printer chittering away, when chef asks me to sweep and mop the walkin. Quiet, cool, and I get to mutter to myself about poo poo and decompress for a second.

But...

[Robert Stack VO] Tonight, on Unsolved Mysteries: Why is there always a stray lemon when JD sweeps the walk-in?
Sometimes, it's an errant chicken wing [zoom on wing on the floor]
Other times, there may be some onion skins. [shot of onions, string music intensifies]
But always... There's a lemon. Tucked far away under the racks, where no broom can whisk away its slippery, semi-spherical shape [negative b&w shot of lemon, orchestra hit, cut to credits]

Also: bare feet in a kitchen? The gently caress? Jesus, even the ghetto gas station I get beer from will boot you for that.

God drat it! Who poo poo in the demi again!?

Speaking of demi, I used to work at a hotel in Disney, and we had an overnight prep guy who worked alone. We came in one morning to him not there, and nothing done. Turns out, he had accidentally knocked over a 24qt of lamb demi and a 12qt of cherry reduction in the walk in, and just wrote "SORRY :(" in it with his finger, and walked out.

I mean... who the gently caress has broken rear end poo poo on their floors. And ours can be a mess in the middle of things but we try to sweep when we’re outta the action for a minute.

It would be a shame, but sometimes I secretly wish she’d step on something wet and squishy (our dish pit is right next to the door) so she’s think twice about it next time.

Our establishment isn’t what I’d call haute cuisine but it’s one of the nicer places in town. It just bothers my kitchen OCD so much but I could never say anything about it. She actually did it again today.

We’re closed Sundays so we got some Mother’s Day crowd tonight, as well as all the kids graduating. Fun times. I feel like a fire right now.



Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out there who fulfills the qualifications.

I'm completely serious, but then again I'm also the one that usually puts the truck orders away and nothing is more obnoxious than having to reorganize shelves with a giant pile of stuff in the middle of the floor because the driver insist on stacking everything six feet high.

On the other hand, doing the freezer kinda sucks because there's barely enough room for one person and it's a hell of a shock going from an 85 degree kitchen to a -9 degree freezer. Incidentally, this is why I end up bringing a jacket to work in the middle of July.

Today we ran brunch specials, like you would expect. Both specials came with eggs to order.

My kitchen has one burner total. And the flat grill isn’t big enough to do eggs when I’m doing French toast and my assorted other breads on it.

Poor Mithross, thought of eggs and died.

The hospital has calmed down over the weekend. Patients are being cooperative and going home. Our count for the day was around 160 beds filled. 180 is what I consider normal. 200+ is high, and anything below 175 or so is low. So it went ok.

I'm just not looking forward to my clopen on Tue/Wed. Especially because Wed morning, I'm on the grill up front. And it's french toast day on the self serve. BUT it's also apparently hospitals week. And there will be free waffles. (Specifically the frozen pre-cooked Krusteaz squares. They're not bad, just bland.)

I would like my eggs over easy, but they have to be cooked all the way through.
