Well I was working with one of the sous chefs the past 3 days and every fucking thing I do he gets on me about. "How come you put the cheese on last,How come your so messy" We have this dish Chicken Hibachi the chef wants us to make it a certain way,but the sous chef told me not to listen to the chef because "the chef only works the line once in a blue moon and I work the line 24/7" When the chef works the line he noticed we do stuff differently then he originally told the sous chef to do. I'm not going to listen to the sous chef I'm going to listen to the Chef ,because the chef is my boss.
I understand I'm messy and I have to work on that allot,but he keeps hounding me and hounding me on every fucking little thing "How come you walk like that blah blah fucking blah" He really pisses me off and when I'm making something he looks at me and just stares just to try to intimidate me which really screws my movement up because I'm waiting for a complaint. He complains to the chef about how I'm bad on the line,but the chef worked with me one day on the line and the chef said I was ok,but still obviously need to work on somethings,but I wasn't as bad as how the sous chef was putting it. I like work but when I work with the sous chef I kind of loose my spirit for cooking.

Easter (Work)
Well today my job had a Easter Buffet. The hotel Closed down the restaurant and we had a big Easter Buffet. The kitchen staff was preparing for this for days. I was put in the Omelet station which was fun. People just come up to you and tell you what they want in there omelet and I make it and flip it to show off a bit. Some people are annoying they take an hour to figure out what they want on the omelet which holds up the whole line. Anyway I guess I have to get use to not having any Holidays off if I want to make it in this Business,but I dont mind.

Waiters are Annoying
Well I was working the breakfast shift yesterday by my self and 3 tour buses were unloaded into the hotel and they decided to come and eat. I moved my ass off and had all the food out in the window and then it took them 10 minutes to come and get it. Then they start complaining to me telling me that they didn't know which was Which.
Get this there was 3 of them and 1 of me and they still couldn't handle it. One guy complained because his over easy eggs were cold but that wansnt my fault. The waiters like taking the plates down from the heat lamps and keeping them on the counter which in turn they get cold. One guy left because he was waiting too long for his waffle but his waffle was sitting in the window for along time.
I got that waiter back unintentionally because I had a plate on the flat top and I put the eggs on to it and it was hot I mean hot. If you put water on it it would evaporate thats how hot it was. I took the plate not realizing it was that hot and I put it up in the window and ran to put my hands in some ice and then the waiter 1 minute later while I was a way and the waiter took the plate with his bare hands and ran it out to the customer,but he didn't get that far he slammed it on the counter int he waiter station and started screaming. I was cracking up laughing. Even though it was unintentional he asked me "how come you didn't tell me it was hot" I said I just wanted to make sure it was hot"

Nice day
Well I have been working about 5 days in a row its hard because. I wake up at 6AM go to school I get out at 2:30 then I have to be to work at 3:00 until about 11 then go to sleep and do it all over again. My feet hurt from standing,but I like it and cooking is addictive.
One of the sous chefs that I work with was trying to find everything I did to be wrong,but I understand I do need to learn allot more. When we get busy I'm kind of all over the place,but I have to get in my head Quality over time Quality over time. He told me I should reconsider being a cook and I just let that pass right threw one ear and out the other. I'm not going to let him put me down and make me doubt my self.
I went to an open house for college and I am going to get an Associates degree in Culinary Management in a local County College,but I'm not sure if I should then transfer to Johnson and Wales and get a bachelors.
