Or so I thought.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nI accepted a job at a not to be disclosed location and all of a sudden I became the most popular person ever! \u00a0My phone was going INSANE with interviews and job offers. \u00a0I have one place BEGGING me to come there. \u00a0Except I had committed to one and I told the others that I would get back to them.<\/p>\n
Well the really nice, high paying sous chef job required me to be more bilingual than I am and that made me sad because I couldn\\’t accept it in the end. \u00a0Another job trial was in a production kitchen but the kitchen manager was a giant douche bag and I knew the minute I laid eyes on him, it wasn\\’t going to work out. \u00a0I was right. \u00a0Which was fine actually because holy shit listening to CJAD all day and cutting vegetables? zzzzzzzzzzz \u00a0Yeah I would have done it for now because well bills and stuff. \u00a0I could go on and on but needless to say, it just wasn\\’t working out. \u00a0It\\’s basically been what\\’s stated above, lather, rinse, repeat.
\nI need a few days to settle in somewhere and get organized. \u00a0The first few shifts for me are always clumsy and awkward but you team that up with not being in that environment for so long?<\/p>\n
You\\’re fucked.<\/em><\/p>\nMetaphorically it\\’s like this: It\\’s like an old friend you\\’ve known for years and years and all of a sudden you don\\’t talk for 4.5 years. \u00a0Then you get reunited. \u00a0Which is great, it\\’s familiar but a lot has changed too. \u00a0So you need to spend time<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>playing catch up with this person.<\/p>\nExcept no one can afford to give you that time, or you\\’re not French speaking enough or lacking your papers or a car and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n
So I took the last option I had handed to me, they\\’re really nice people, gorgeous restaurant and then as we were setting up to open I noticed that there was 4 different types of meat on the counter. \u00a0I put my hand on them thinking that they had just been pulled out of the fridge. \u00a0Nope.<\/p>\n
THEY WERE ROOM TEMPERATURE! RAW MEAT, LEFT OUT ON THE COUNTER, OVERNIGHT IN JULY.<\/strong><\/h3>\nOh hell no.<\/p>\n
So. \u00a0So much for that place. \u00a0Back to the grind I go, more interviews, more of the oh, you\\’ve been out of restaurants for a while. \u00a0Yeah this isn\\’t going to work out (Again, read my f\\’ing CV jackass).<\/p>\n
Yet I didn\\’t give up, that is until yesterday. \u00a0I had a training shift schedule at a place that I thought would be a good re-introduction back into a line. \u00a0I was flat out honest about where I stood, how long it had been since I had worked on a line and blah blah blah. \u00a0He didn\\’t care, thanked me for being honest and I thought OK cool it\\’ll do for now. \u00a0 I was asked to be there at 5pm and I waited and I waited until 5:30 and that\\’s when I left. \u00a0Because if you can\\’t be bothered to be there on time or at least make the effort to call me or your restaurant, that says a lot of things about you and they\\’re not nice.<\/p>\n
I had one last interview today. \u00a0It was more of the same, but I got points for being honest. \u00a0No real loss there, the place is an hour away. \u00a0*Note to self, no more jobs in the mile end.<\/p>\n
So that being said, i\\’m moving onto to other things I\\’ve had in the works for a few weeks. \u00a0Just need to finalize some details first.<\/p>\n
