Years later...[joking]

So it has been quite some time since the last time I've posted. I am on a verge of breaking down from over working >.<" Finally got a cook job! hurray...no. not hurray. The people are nice and patient but the organization is horrible! The kitchen is too small to cook most of the items on the menu! No one knows where everything is! Things get moved and when orders come in we become disorganized and end up having a big mess at the end of the long, tiring day! I honestly wanted to quit after one week. Ever since the restaurant opened. I worked before the restaurant opened; just 2days earlier and I loved it. But after the grand opening I wanted to quit! Almost had a nervous breakdown during busy service -_-" it's ridiculous I tell you! I have to rant on here after ranting to several friends about such horrible working conditions! One guy pissed me of and annoyed me like no tomorrow! But he's quitting and got a job interview already..that bastard. But we are getting along better, haha. I love the chef. He's really patient and mellow and kind. But I would prefer a chef who pushes me to my limits and beyond! Someone like Chef Ramsay. There are 3owners and the chef is one of them. The other two owners annoy me also! One of them snaps and kisses his teeth a lot when food isnt being cooked or assembled quick enough -_-" The other one keeps coming in and asking for things when we are busy. She so bossy too and rude, she knows how to say thank you and excuse me but she doesn't! Seriously is she racist or something? I know she sexist. She only ask "guys" for help to carry things and never a girl [me or the other girl cooks]. It's so lame! The restaurant is sometimes quiet where we get no customers then during dinner we have all these rushes, making food for 2-4tables at once! And man oh man do these people order LOTS! On the print ticket things, it tells us how many guests are at the table. This one table with only 2 people ordered a WHOLE BUNCH of food! Seriously. They ordered portions that can feed 6people man -_-" from apps to dessert eh!

I honestly want to quit and have been contemplating. And asking others for opinions and ideas. I want to quit due to low pay [$9.50 with no OT], long hours, less sleep, and only one day off a week! I don't want to quit because I feel bad that the Chef has trained me even though I have little experience! I have no experience in korean and japanese food but I have lots of experience in italian cuisine! I studied it and worked at East Side Marios man! LOL I want to quit also so I can grow and work my way up to be lets say a sous chef. In this kitchen, we aren't "pastry cooks" "grill cook" we are just "cooks". I want to work in a kitchen with the classical brigade and of course more pay and flexible hours!

Its funny I've been only working at this restaurant for 2weeks now and I want to quit already. I don't like how he system is, the space, the pay, the hours, almost everything! I have my morals and working at this restaurant breaks my morals! Many people have told me to find a new job. Hopefully leaving this restaurant won't affect me getting another job at a restaurant! Hopefully they'll understand my reasons for leaving early....

Well, its late. I will call in sick tomorrow. I'd rather work with energy and good health then not and give bad results. Yay, kind of a day off =P hahaa Goodnight.
