So my work schedule this week has me both happy and irritated... Happy, because I'm getting a lot of hours. Irritated, because I only have one day off, and that day just happens to be the day that Anna works. So I'm gonna be working 48 hours this week, and the only times I can see Anna are before I go to work, and on Friday before she goes to work...
Don't get me wrong now, I love working at the Hotel. They moved me to Trevi 5, the contemporary Italian restaurant right there by the lobby. It's a lot more face-paced than the main kitchen, and they actually need me there. I've been working the salad and pizza line, and some nights I close the kitchen, meaning that I'm there until midnight and get to lock up and turn off everything.
If my thinking is correct, this Friday is pay day, and I'm super excited to see my check. lol
Anyway... that's all I can really think of right now.... ttfn

- I'm a Chef and writer who has an immense passion for what I do. I tend to rant and ramble on a variety of subjects, hence the title of this blog. The "in-training" part of the title comes from my belief that no matter how experienced a chef may be, he or she should always be training him- or herself and constantly striving to become better.

When life gives you lemons, make life take the lemons back!
Title quote courtesy of Portal 2. I haven't played it yet, but I've listened to my roommate at JWU play it, and I love the quotes from it. haha
Anyway, not really much to talk about right now... Just felt like writing a bit, but didn't have any ideas for Bleeding Hearts, Eternal Darkness, or anything else... Which is a bit depressing...
I work today and from 3-11:30 and then on Sunday from 7-3:30... I'm gonna be exhausted by the time I get a day off, and today I'll be able to see when I actually do have my days off next week... Hopefully they aren't on days when Anna has to work... that would irritate me a bit...
Anyway... Work at the Hotel is fairly decent so far. All they really have me doing is prep work, which is fine with me. I mean, if they wanna pay me 11.24/hour to be a prep cook, so be it. I'll give them my 8 hours and take their $88. The executive chef came up to me yesterday and told me that he's gonna move me around a bit while I'm working there. Instead of just being in the CDR kitchen and helping the banquet kitchen when I'm not needed (At all), he's gonna send me to Trevi 5 some days... I'm not entirely sure if I'll know that I'm going there before hand, or if somebody will just come up to me and tell me to go there, but I don't really care, cause I'm thinking there's a chance that I'll actually be on the line, which is what I love to do.
Well, that's about it for now... I'll be sure to try to update again soon... assuming there's more stuff to say. haha

Company Orientation and my work schedule
So yesterday I had my company orientation for HE&R (Hershey Entertainment and Resorts). Let me tell you, that was the longest 4 hours of my life... On the bright side, I'm gonna see those 4 hours on my first paycheck, which I get the Friday after next.
After orientation, I went up to the Hotel to meet my boss and get a tour of the place. I was given menus to look over and shown around the kitchen, and then I was shown my schedule for this coming week. I work Monday 2-10:30, have Tuesday and Wednesday off, then I work Thursday-Saturday 3-11:30 and Sunday 7-3:30. To sum that all up for those of you who don't like to do math, I'm gonna be working my ass of to earn that $11/hour, but with 42.5 hours a week and the kickass addition to my resume, it's totally worth it.
I'm hoping to see Anna today, but I'm not sure how well that's gonna work with her working from 3-7 today... We're definitely gonna have to cherish every second we get together now that I'm gonna be working 40+ hours a week... On the bright side, I'll have money to take her out to do pretty much anything we might wanna do :)
