TL.DR: I worked my ass off for 11 years because I wanted money for things I shouldn't have had in the first place..
Edit: That is the condensed version of around 11 years of my life, but only five of them have been seriously dedicated to cooking.

Today I:
Today my dad got his new cargo bike. I am going to ride it around tomorrow. And maybe get a friend to sit on the back. It's going to be fun, but I feel like I might not be able to turn. Is this an actual problem people have? Or will the wheelbase not be a problem?
Also just saw Brave with the sqrlfriend. It was pretty good. Surely the best looking Pixar movie, but maybe a little lacking in plot/content. It'd be fair to say it felt like a fairy tail.

This week is turning out to be an absolute **** storm. A falling out of sorts with one of my best friends, depression came back to visit, my landlord is telling me that although we got rent caught up we did it too late and we are still getting evicted, I will easily clear 70 hours at work, and I'm not going to be able to go to my friend's wedding next weekend because I need to find a place to live. At least I still have my bike, right?

Salary or not, there is a such thing as over-working your staff.

Ah, nothing like that late teens/early twenties period in life when reality sets in and you finally realize that you have to get your **** together. Was there not too long ago.

The dude I covered for on my day off yesterday said he was gonna take my shift tonight. He texted me about 25 minutes before he was supposed to be here and said he couldn't do it. So, now I'm at work. Again. Looks like I might hit 80 hours this week.
In related news, I'm kind of in the mood to start grabbing people by the head and twisting them off like bottlecaps.

I've found that chefs that overwork their cooks wind up with more loyal cooks that follow them everywhere. Sorta like Stockholm Syndrome.

Today's my 21st birthday. Sitting outside drinking an Edmund Fitzgerald next to the grill. Family didn't show up to whatever gathering was supposed to happen and my mom thinks I'm bummed, but in all actuality it means I have more free food and beer to myself, and I don't have to smile and nod as much. Win.
