I mean to be fair in your early 20s you probably wouldn't be the Renaissance Man they're asking for either. And nobody who answers the ad will be. Like the PA ad they'll get a bunch of wannabe douchebags who fancy themselves ultracompetent hardasses, which as it turns out is probably a perfect fit for the actual job rather than the airbrushed van fantasy version described in the ad. When I see poo poo like that I assume it's because the owners have this vague notion that startups often involve a lot more work than the pay should involve, and think that startups are cool and dynamic, think they're cool and dynamic, and so figure they can get away with the same thing. Failing to realise, of course, that startups throw mad equity at workers, so if you're young and risk tolerant (like what you're remembering yourself in your 20s as) you can roll the dice. But it ain't like you're going to wake up to discover you're suddenly a faux indy beer or webcomic billionaire or some poo poo.

Or you wanna work somewhere where you can drink a beer at your desk and bone the hell out of your coworkers and not have anyone fuss much about it. Not that I really believe that that specific job would entail such awesome things, but that sort of thing is out there. Money is awesome but working at a place that is truly an extension of your social life can be pretty damm amazing for a while.

So assuming I have largish second degree burns on my inner arm from 400 degree + chicken grease, is the general consensus to give them a few hours of air a day and keep changing the bandages? Or is air bad? The chefs I work with are telling me to pop the blisters, but I think they're small enough that it would only invite infection. I'm keeping up on the neosporin and bandage changing, any other burn times you guys have to share? Ideally I'd like this not to scar as I'm a very fancy princess.

Only pop the blisters if they're in a location where they're going to pop themselves inconveniently. Until they're popped air doesn't matter either way, once they're popped air is best. Retain as much of the skin for as long as possible, I've had huge blisters weld themselves back down and save me from several days of new skin that's thin as poo poo and heat sensitive as all hell. If it's really a 2nd degree burn you're gonna want analgesic stuff to rub on to numb it when the nerves start to grow back.  This is one of my grossest burns, was searing too many filets at once and compensating by over filing the cast iron skillets with oil (basically shallow frying them before roasting in oven), turning one and it slipped from the tongs and splashed boiling oil across my hand. I knew it was gonna be bad right away and filled a glove with burn gel and rubber banded it on my wrist, then put another glove over it. I was managing but spent the next 3 hours bailing out the hot line with one hand in a deep 6 of ice water. Edit:my pic is a link to me but I've never used imgur.com mobile before. I just used regular img tags. pile of brown fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Jun 5, 2015 |

Just let the blisters be, they will break all by themselves and they are your bodies way of protecting you from infections. Just be glad the burn isn't all across your knuckles and fingers, that one was fun for me, ugh.

When I worked at an extremely small (4 person) company, the owner was cool with drinking but only if it was with a client - so I would actively encourage clients to bring a six-pack to their engagement. I suppose that was a pretty good example of extremely boring work made fun by way of environment (and steady mild intoxication).

The owner of the isp I worked at 15 years ago once wheeled a keg into the office at noon. He told everyone to log out of the phones and said we were closed. I once found him in his office naked and passed out on the floor at 7am. He used to roll a bottle of vodka between his office and the office managers office. Danes can drink.

Yeah, any place where the skin needs to do lots of stretching regularly or that has a ton of nerves or both(like fingers  ) is super awful.One time I was removing pans from one of those huge layered ovens when I somehow had one at head level slide right into my lower lip, I got it off super fast and ran to one of the big sinks to stick my face under the faucet but it still hurt like a motherfucker until it healed like a week or so later. BTW, while I have never actually worked in the industry I did take the food service elective for four years in high school which included an unpaid two week internship at a small local restaurant, this warded me off from ever going into the industry. The teacher was this craggy old lady who had worked in the industry for decades and told us to stay the hell away from the industry unless we were insane, desperate or could land a cushy job like teaching at a culinary school or a high school like her.

Yeah, I'm super glad I got it where I did, and its healing really well. I'm sad to hear the ointment didn't prevent scarring, but I think with as deep as this is there's not much that would. On the bonus side, it looks like a kickass fireball.

I spent this weekend at a cabin in the mountains near Asheville, NC with my woman to celebrate our anniversary. The proprietors of our particular cabin left us a nice little welcoming basket with a loaf of fresh baked bread, four farm-fresh eggs (they have a chicken coop), and some homemade jam and granola. We had it for breakfast on Saturday and it was delicious. After an awesome day of hiking at Max Patch Bald, we went into town for dinner and a drink. We were feeling tapas-y but she didn't feel like Spanish food, so we ended up at a place called Table. They seemed pretty booked but the hostess said that without a reservation she could sneak us in in about a half hour, so we went upstairs to their attached cocktail/charcuterie place called The Imperial Life. While we waited we had a drink and a charcuterie board, with some excellent coppa and a young swiss that was less mild than I expected, and completely delicious. For our dinner we had four app plates in the spirit of tapas, and everything was wonder. We got the best beet salad I've ever had, that came with frisee. Grilled octopus was off the chain. It was sliced lengthwise and was all delicous, especially the charred part on the outside piece. It was served on farro and some crunchy bits with brown sugar - different, but excellent. Next came our scallop crudo, with pickled strawberries, creme fraiche, and a citrus-coconut sauce. Very good but a bit messy to eat. Last was braised beef cheek with some sort of grain, maybe quinoa. It came in two big ol' hunks and was incredibly rich and delicious. Afterwards we went out for a drink at a place I can't even remember the name of but I got some fresh snickerdoodle cookies, nice and warm and cinnamon-y. The following day we had brunch at Laughing Seed Cafe, a vegetarian restaurant. Their tempeh "bacon" was terrible (it tasted like a maple-flavored rice cake) but their seitan "sausage" was the best fake meat sausage I've ever had. VERY heavy on the black pepper, it was so good and I was so sad I only got a piece of it. Competently cooked scrambled eggs and a too-tough biscuit with mushroom gravy (the gravy was decent), led to our only food miss of the weekend. It wasn't BAD, but nothing like our dinner the night before. Then last night I had a stromboli. I probably gained five pounds this weekend but it was totally worth it.

We stayed in the Mamma Bear cabin. It was absolutely wonderful. We checked in before the couples who stayed in the other cabins, so we checked them out as well and you really can't go wrong with any of them. The only downside to the entire weekend was that the people staying in the Baby Bear cabin, directly in front of us, never turned off their back porch light despite never being out there, so it negatively impacted our stargazing a little bit. A very, very little bit - it's so clear and dark out there otherwise that you can see sooooooooo many stars. EDIT: Also, check LivingSocial. I got a deal on there for $202 for a Friday night through Sunday morning stay...well worth it. Your choice of cabin, too (assuming they're not already booked for your target weekend)!

if you're eating in Asheville, I loving love Curate. run by some proteges of jose andreas iirc. very well executed tapas, which you wouldn't expect in the area. Better than anything in Atlanta, anyways. also some great B&B type places, and have had good luck with Airbnb. don't miss the belgian beer place, thirsty monk I think it was called? we've drank a ton of other places while up there, but that place holds its own.
