I wake up extremely early, drive for half an hour, and build a minuscule cafe out of my van. I serve coffee, of either the 'cup of joe' or the 'hipster $160 a kilo microlot' varieties to an appreciative clientele for about 4 hours. I'm usually back home by midday. Saturday I drive less far, but work a longer day. It's great.

Smugworth posted:What's the weirdest system you ever killed not my question but I'll chime in (although this is maybe too much SH/SC) I got a job deploying desktop computers in an Eskimo village (Dillingham, AK to be precise) for the local hospital circa 2006. I had to deploy 12 or so desktops to this annex, and instead of imaging them all manually with a CD, I decided to multicast the image from one good PC to the other dozen because it was way faster. I set up all the PCs, start up the imaging, and it would go for a bit, and then crash for no apparent reason. I tried it a few times to be sure, but it kept crashing. I wasn't totally sure if the local network was a hub or a switch, and was in the process of rewiring the local IDF so all the workstations were directly connected to the local switch when the big network master dude comes running in with a pale face and says "hey, um, are you doing multicast out here?" The PCs weren't crashing, the local network wasn't crashing, the main switch was crashing. Multicasting 12 streams of Norton Ghost was wayyy too much for the sup card.  Fwiw they were impressed that I was using multicast to image the devices, but they also disabled multicast network wide that evening.EDIT Torquemada posted:I wake up extremely early, drive for half an hour, and build a minuscule cafe out of my van.

I was in construction and demolition related fields for a long time, but about 8 years ago, I realized I didn't wanna do it for the rest of my life, so I became a vet tech. Very, very happy to have made the switch.

I'm disabled thanks to lovely genetics and a rather crippling drug addiction from an early age. I've been sober for years now, and that helps, but my head is still messed up. I've also been photographing concerts as a hobby for years, and recently a small publisher decided to publish a book with my pictures. It's at the printer right now and I'm insanely excited about it. It's supposed to be finished in a couple of weeks so we can launch in September.

I make food for college kids. It's a pretty good gig most of the year, but the first month of fall quarter is just a beast. The school is intent on admitting a record number of new students every year and of course, not hiring more staff to deal with that, and not building more of anything students or staff might need, so we just get stress-tested worse every fall. Still, best paying cooking job in the area. Some of our food is... pretty good, considering the sheer volume. Our boss is an absolute mad Australian Word, which I used to let bother me, but the more upbeat long-timers told me, "Just stop listening to them, care about the food and nothing else." He'll retire or stroke out soon enough. It's funny, before I cooked, I always thought the "angry tyrant chef" stereotype thing was made up for television. Which it is, in the case of the celebrity TV chefs, but not in real life.

The rear end in a top hat I'm talking about is actually the general manager of the whole operation, he just used to be a chef and still exhibits those behaviors.

I can assure you, our pizza is triangular. And not bad. Some of the recipes are ridiculous though. I don't think people want imitation crab on a slice of pizza. But do these items, absurd and obviously unpopular, get removed from the menu? Nope. To quote the boss, "We can't just... We can't just change things!" That's the major problem we have with him. We offer our feedback, he immediately shoots down any suggestion of change. So, we stop bothering to offer feedback, since he rebuffs it all instantly. Then problems snowball, and when they get bad enough he has to hear about them, he says "This is the first I'm hearing of this! Why didn't anyone tell me? We have a communication problem!" More and more I think he's just zooted out of his mind half the time.

The people who are actually functionally my chef (not the GM jerk) are really nice people. But I know exactly what you mean. Some amount of military "Do what I say and do it now!" is required by the nature of the job. Animal-Mother fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Jul 29, 2023 |

There are still quite a few idiots who believe continuing the cycle of abuse "the European way" is the only way to make it work. I know for a fact they're wrong. I think nice people are turning the tide, too.

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:If your chef isn’t a balls-out rear end in a top hat, can you even consider yourself in the food service industry? The last chef I worked for was the probably the biggest rear end in a top hat I'd ever worked for on my 10 year career cooking/managing kitchens. His food was good but it wasn't winning any awards and he sure as poo poo couldn't build a solid kitchen staff This young guy is working for him and does grill one night, they end up arguing and the guy either gets fired or quits, I don't remember. It was something that should have been minor but it was a busy night after the rush. Anyway, this kid comes back in the restaurant a week later to get his paycheck wearing his chef coat with a community college logo like he was interviewing. The chef asks, "Is that where you went to culinary school?" The kid says yea. The chef says he should ask for his money back. What a petty dickhead. I should thank the guy because I finally decided to quit and go to college and get a degree that landed me a job that 6 years in is now paying nearly 7x with a tiny fraction of the stress and turmoil of working in a kitchen.

Yeah the head chef of the facny restaurant that I worked at in college was also the biggest rear end in a top hat chef I've ever met. The guy just flat out hated his life and acted like everyone else was the source of all of his problems. The previous owner before him was the owner's son in law and was ouster once the owner found out he was constantly power harassing people with threats of being + constantly sexual harassing everyone there including me
