So I made another dumb mistake today. I was supposed to be brewing tomorrow. I thought I had all my ingredients on hand and then I realized only today that I didn't have enough lactose! I think I forget it because it's not a fermentable, but I have to add it in the boil! The boss was hoping to have it done in less than a month but when I told him he was like "That's okay. poo poo happens!" basically. So, once again I think I'm in for some poo poo but things are fine because my current bosses aren't malignant narcissists for once.
Still a dumb mistake on my part.

So this job is fine. It's nice to finally have bosses who don't yell at me and poo poo. Nice not working for narcissists. Pay is fine but I'm not going anywhere with this job.
So recently my boss came up to me and told me that they'd sold out of the...I guess you'd call it a session sour smoothie IPA? I dunno. It kind of sucks but whatever. It's what they wanted. Well it sold out really quick and they want me to bottle the entire next batch, which will only be like maybe 140 more bottles than last run at most. That beer is kind of a pain in the rear end to make, but we have six tanks so it would be doable to keep in rotation if we had enough cold room space but we don't. I use the same small walk in as the taps and the kitchen. I can fit, at most, two complete batches of beer at a time. I told them this would be an issue when I started here two and a half years ago. They told me that they'd figure something out like maybe off site storage. That hasn't happened. As soon as I noticed we had a mouse issue I said something. Still no real solutions but they're ordering shelves soon maybe. It's up to corporate.
The thing is that the parent company owns a lot of restaurants and they're basically just selling my beer to these places. That's fine, but I don't have the volume or capacity to keep up with that so I don't really know what the end game is here? I know I heard that the idea was to start small and if it's successful build a larger facility. That'll probably take years before they decide to do that. In the meantime I'm just doing a whole lot of nothing. Recently a assistant manager and the head chef told me I should start my own place. I mean I want to. I really need to get on that. This place is going nowhere.

Co-worker's house is getting sprayed for bugs so there are dogs in the office!
These are two very good boys. Not my dogs, so I don't feel comfortable sharing a picture. Jake is big and tan and excited and shedding. Sammy is small and white with brown spots and shy and just wants to sit on his human's lap.

Sometimes I really hate having to look up ICD-10 definitions.
Everywhere, everyone is red and green
I gotta lust for glory and a tape machine
I'm living out Frank Coppola's dreams
Outta my mind, I'm feelin' mean

From what I heard the biere de Mars I kegged last week and they put on tap earlier this week is a big hit with the higher-ups in the company and is pretty popular with older customers so that's neat. I'm really proud of that one.

Sammy the dog is back in the office! Such a sweet little dude. If he weren't so timid I'd try to steal him to be my lap buddy, but he clearly just wants to wag his tail at people from the safety of his human's lap and you gotta respect that.

My boss's boss quit or got fired yesterday. I didn't interact with her much (she was the one who interviewed me but she worked in a different building) but apparently she was pretty toxic to everyone else in our department.
Also my co-worker is moving into a different position on Monday, leaving me the only one currently in my role. They hired two more people to start training a couple weeks ago but they've both ghosted since then probably because the pay isn't very good

Mostly. I'm going to stick around for a while longer, though. I'm going back to school part-time soon, and they're okay with me switching to a part-time schedule to match it. Also my immediate boss is pretty good

Sounds like I'm going to get to make my kuromitsu Belgian dark strong at the end of the summer, which I'm pretty excited about. That was the beer I was probably most proud of at my older job. Too bad it's a hard sell.

Guess it's time once again for the chef to get pissy with me because he didn't hear my morning greeting and then get pissy at me because I said maybe he didn't hear me because I didn't say it loud enough so he could hear me over the sound of the equipment (also he wears headphones a lot before work starts) and say "so I'm the bad guy here?", only to get pissy when I apologized for not saying it loud enough because that's always what I do. What are you? A cranky old elementary teacher? We don't even work in the kitchen together FFS! It's a loving restaurant. People are coming and going all the time! poo poo! Maybe I forgot because you were in the back as I was heading to the storage area to put my backpack up.

He's literally the only person I work with who gets all up in arms about this poo poo. I guess you could say "Well, it's Japan." but he's from Italy!

Today's fun activity is explaining to my bosses that I am the one person in the office who needs to use this online database practically every day, usually multiple times a day, and that consolidating down to one login on a shared computer will negatively affect my ability to do my job in a significant way.
No, I can't delegate the research to the coworker in charge of most database research to "free up time". She doesn't know what to look for, and she wouldn't be able to learn all of the different red flags I would need to know about without months (if not years) of dedicated training in my specific area of expertise. Even before the layoffs when I had actual underlings who worked in my department and knew what they were doing enough to pull all the documents I needed for new files and recognize problems, I still used the database on a daily basis to double check information while drafting documents.
Like, yeah it's nice to have job security because I'm the only person left who can do what I do, but Jesus did it really not occur to you that this may be an integral part of my job and you should at least check in with me before making a sweeping change and disabling my login just to save on subscription costs?
And now I'm stuck trying to explain the problem over email because the bosses all went home early today and it just so dang frustrating and I almost never have these problems because my office is small enough that I actually have a good line of communication with my bosses so why did no one ask me about this?

Also gently caress hierarchy.
But also, gently caress a job.

But workers are just one size fits all cogs you place into the business machine! Beep boop! So simple! Hold on. Giving myself a raise for streamlining the hiring process.

So I think Cardi BYOB and possibly others in the thread who were here for my Very Bad Job in Wakayama last year will appreciate this story. I'm not sure how much I talked about it, but I had three other coworkers: one was a middle manager/owner's lacky, and then another brewer and a younger woman who they were "training" to run the kitchen (i.e. they gave her poo poo pay to run the kitchen).
Well, long story short, I was talking to the other brewer there who quit a while after me and he told me that he and the woman in the kitchen orchestrated putting in their notices at the same time. According to my former coworker the owner was extremely upset and asked "How could you do this to me?" which is some extremely delicious schadenfreude. Lol. Good luck with your new 2k liter facility using a 2 head filler with single capper. Unless you go with a Wild Goose loving Gosling canner or their single head canner you loving moron. God. He's probably going to still use hand washed Cornelius kegs!
Apparently he has an agreement with the technical high school in Wakayama City to hire/train their students part time. I feel extremely bad for them, but at least I'm sure their hours will be limited. Good luck with training up and retaining experienced staff, rear end in a top hat! Looooool!
