Ugghhhhh I feel so awful. I knocked against Eloy's foot, like my shoe hooked against his sole, and he was practically doubled over in pain. Seems like it activated his fucked up back, the same issue he had in the summer. I was horrified, especially because I barely did anything, I literally just tapped his foot on accident. I know it was an ( Read more... )

Last night, slammed again. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if that little bitch Dylan didn't duck out. Fernando only let him go because of tips. So it was just me and Fernando dealing with a packed restaurant, and then that fucker Dylan comes back with a bunch of his friends and he asks Fernando to make a bunch of rolls with all this special ( Read more... )

So... let's talk Finance maybe. It's been really slow everywhere lately, so I've been getting less time at both my places, I don't go in until 4 at Sushi Rei so I when I work Finance at Canyon I pretty much milk the clock. Not my usual hobby, but I gotta eat ( Read more... )

I just cleaned half my house and it makes me feel really happy to finally have it be at least not filthy. I get lazy after a 15-hour workday and don't put my stuff away when I get home, so it kind of piles up; after two weeks it can get pretty ugly. Tomorrow I have laundry, bathroom and kitchen but those are not as much as clearing out my living ( Read more... )

So I worked with Jose a bit today and yup, I like him so far. His complete lack of experience as a cook means that he has no bad habits I have to break him of, and his lack of knife skills means he has to go slow to learn correctly. I'm super happy about that, because that was the one thing I didn't like about Cesar. He has lots of work experience ( Read more... )

I kicked this cold in the ass. I got sick on Tuesday, missed Wednesday night, Thursday, Friday morning of work, and I'm pretty much back to normal save a bit of sinus issues. I just had a stuffy nose, sore throat and the slightest of fevers, but I still felt pretty awful while I was sick. But I am ACE once more ( Read more... )

We were supposed to be closed today but Dave managed to convince Jack to let us stay open because we do have fish to sell. We had an intensely minimal crew (me, Dario and Uzziel were the only hourlys) and no expectations. We made some money, got rid of some fish, and nobody was overworked because our skeleton crew was just right. Uzziel was ( Read more... )

For some reason Uzziel kept saying he wants lasagna, spaghetti, pizza for family meal. He's joking, it's literally not possible to make those kinds of foods with the ingredients we have at work. But one day Dario brought some tomato bruschetta from his other job. I saw it, I know we have fresh ramen noodles, I saw Uzziel, and I all but screamed, " ( Read more... )

I more or less got a promotion. I'm supposed to be both apprentice and assistant to Dave now. He originally wanted Dylan to be his assistant, but turns out Dylan isn't the brightest crayon in the box. So I'm getting a raise too. Not quite where I want to be, but better. I hope Dave doesn't decide that an assistant needs to go to those round table ( Read more... )

So last Tuesday was probably the highlight of my week. Three separate incidents, some stranger and bigger than others ( Read more... )
