Are you in the Unemployment line too Mr. Squirrel ?

As i sit here thinking about what random thing i should write about I'm thinking on the phone call i have to make to unemployment  so that i ensure my check gets here within 2 days... That right America i am out of work for 6 months no less, Since this post is not about that i will say that i am closing in on  jobs and it is close to impossible right now to find a job i will return to this subject in future posts....... Stay Tuned


     So i have an opportunity to possibly use what i learned at a bartending school i went to a few years back. I had just came back from Northampton and i turned in my masshole hat  and i was working at a restaurant on one of the golf courses in the area. I had fallen into a position i really don't think i was qualified for or i just didn't want. Fore whatever reason during said time i decided that i needed to have something to fall back on, you know just in case this chef thing fell thru. Just for clarity i have worked over 17 years in the business the business of food that is.. You know up until i would say the past 6 months, i was all about food, food books, food shows, other foodies..etc i even went to a tech high school for culinary and then to a very well known culinary university and had many jobs that in a nutshell started from the bottom and i have worked my way up I am management status at this point. But the fact is that I was laid off well not really the lady i was working for decided it was better to shut down her business whatever it sucked its over    " On to the next spot kid" in the beginning of summer and if you know food and work in the business you know that the college twits are home and need work and there are more of the men that jump off trucks because of the costal draw and the warm weather either way there  are alot of people in the area that are not normally here and jobs have been scarce ever since .

 In the past 6 months i have managed to just about give up on the hopes of holding a position other than line cook I have been losing faith in owners and managers who would rather hire someone like the last guy that jumped off a truck or someone that would work for less than $12.00 an hour and when you live on the gold coast you better make more than that ... but that's my opinion and i digress... the walls where to close, i couldn't breathe, People where not caring as much for quality as the did for quantity  and talk about self destruction I was killin it!...


 The funny thing is  i knew it, it is the way of the chef you ultimately just want to please people and you give and give sometimes til it hurts and then you give some more but, there is something about it that keeps me from writing it off all together I think it's the rush picture it... 200 degrees, a million tickets getting fired at the same time and your 30 min from finishing a 12 hour shift sweaty, tired, and spent you blast past it knowing the right thing to do every time it is a dance of fire it is truly the ultimate juggling act I Love It!!...So I get it, i'm all about the giving.;).

Anyway so i took a 2 week course to learn the fine art of pouring a drink and let me tell you that it has alot of rules....  but i passed with flying colors got my certificate which is actually a business card with the name of the school and the instructors and my name So i put it in my wallet and i went on my way......*FLASH TO THE PRESENT*...... Today i get a call from a friend of mine asking me if i would consider trying to be a bartender.  I said HeLL Ya Sweetie! I am stir crazy I NEED A JOB!! Because i have to tell you since being on Unemployment i miss having a job.. No Really... I have way to much time on my hands. Im a worker bee, A future Queen Bee its in my DNA. Oh and  if you didn't know it i will tell you now Im gonna be rich someday...So the job, what is it you silly girl? ..... It is for a bartender at a nice and small wine bar, what better place to start. Oh i hope i get it ... I can do this Right? I mean it's not rocket science... So there it is another thought process another post wow maybe this isn't so hard after all I will keep ya posted thanx for reading...... CHEERS!
