I have been unemployed for a week now...

And life is feeling a bit warmer...I was getting worried for a while I would never stop hating on everyone I saw having fun. I can even now have conversation with people that don't matter without losing my temper. Baby steps back to humanity....

Ive been applying for a multitude of jobs...and all I have gotten in response is bad news.

I'm churning out ideas...and soon I will be able to supplement my income.

Mr. Chef you are more than happy to jump on the train once she gets set into motion.

Another lesson in "scumbagging" will appear shortly.

In the kitchen there are many arts to learn...this one is "Scumbag"

Sometimes then you are working hard for the money (and I'm sure this happens everywhere)...you will get stressed at some point, usually because of a lazy employee, and have a small breakdown. This is the point where the art of a scumbag comes in to play. I even like to refer to it as simply "scumbaging someone" or perhaps "what a scummy move".
This art is very delicate and must always be done with the utmost discretion. Once you get the hang of the game you will defiantly appreciate the reaction you get from your superiors or co-workers. At this point I must remind everyone I just learned this art from a dedicated workplace somewhere in Ames Iowa. One of these bar restaurant places that try to crank food out like burger king.

Scumbag maneuvers usually refer to a stocking or rotating problem. It is usually something the night crew will do to the morning crew and then in return the morning will leave the kitchen a mess and empty for the night crew.
It is unfortunate that I am usually part of the morning crew and my discipline would keep me on task....however I got over that after a while.
Ex.
Some prawn purposefully leaves something empty on the front line that will be most likley needed first thing in the morning.
In on kitchen that may be cooked bacon strips
In another kitchen it cold be mixed lettuce
Either way something like that if not caught quick enough would be scummy.

Anyhow that would be the first lesson in the art of scumming. It is not always some prawns fault, however negligence is not an excuse.

These chains are those I chose for myself

There is something to be said about hard work and the character built because of the struggle...
However there is plenty to be taken into consideration...
Everyone seems to think I put myself in the position willingly...that was true but the job I signed up for was only to be a chef.
What I have to do is much worse...and enduring some conditions begin to ware and tear. The prawn is pushed to its limits more often than not.
