Chapter 1

This is not your traditional story. It will be more of me talking and rambling about things I thought about during my days at work. So it should not be judged by a something normally posted in this sub thread And will be only five hundred to one thousand words per chapter. Please hold out your judgments until you actually read this. And before the question is asked I do actually work in a kitchen as a line cook I enjoy it I have been cooking for years and have my degree in food sciences. Now that that is over with to the story.

   Tonight I got crushed not in your traditional since of the word. Although it is arbitrary to think about how bad I did and what not. Why concern myself with it. Did I survive? Yes. So why should I concern myself? Maybe I Am self loathing. Maybe I just need that approval from myself and coworkers that I did a good job. Why? I don't know why. And to be honest I got so pissed off I couldn't even think straight I couldn't even think of a good topic of this except tobacco. And god there is nothing like that first drag from your filter less Marlboro red knowing that you did all you could knowing that people before you fail just as bad that is the thing that makes us human at the end of the day. Knowing that once and awhile we will fail. And I had to talk to my boss about it and even he said hell boy everyone needs some help sometime even me. 
   So in short I guess we shouldn't take ourselves so serious same for our jobs. Maybe we just need to row a rubber boat around our rooms for no reason watch a cat do some stupid thing on the internet. Get a little drunk and dance on  bar. Our lives and jobs are so stressful maybe we should stop quit kicking ourselves drink a good bottle of wine and stop for a moment. But what should I know and what would my words mean since these are only ramblings from a line cook.
   But maybe in my young age and wisdom I have a small bit of insight into this world maybe I understand and make your life better with this who knows what may come of what I say. We all have our part to play I just jump out of planes, post stupid crap like this on the internet and cook. What should I know But I digress we should all step back for a moment and take a breath for a moment we should all see the world one time around experience more and live a little bit less stress filled we only have one time on this third rock from the sun lets make it worth something worth remembering. Lets be ok when we die because lets face it you can fight the good fight but you can't fight death. So take that day off work and go on that vacation to France, buy that extra course at that restaurant. Live, love, laugh. Three words I live by don't try to lie too much is another because no one can tell you the exact same lie to your face twice. But what should I know these are just ramblings from a line cook.

Stay classy internet until next time.
