My new drip filter 10 cup (or 5 dencup) coffee maker doesn't make the coffee hot enough. I still have to nuke it it the microwave. I'm a bit upset about that.

Interview with KNet at 2pm today. The open position is in Orange, but they'll be hiring locally later. I don't want to go to Orange. I did Orange for two years. It's a horrible small town with sub-zero winters and crap pubs.

Admittedly the cook at The Metro is entertaining. My Mate The Legend laughed himself silly when the cook saw our orders and shouted from the kitchen "The want WHAT?! OYSTERS? I just put the fucking oysters away! No! We are OUT of oysters. AH FUCK! STEAK! You have GOT to be FUCKING kidding! AAAGH! Fucking STEAK! I just took it all downfuckingstrairs!"

His people skills were crap, but he did a nice steak and chips.

Chefs

[weyrdbird.livejournal.com]

Us Chefs/Cooks are all a bunch of bloody psychopaths by nature, Den:D.When we aren't hating people standing around getting in the way, we're poncing about bitching about the crap customers and their whiny whimsies. Or wishing the crap distributors would get done for outbreak and die. Or cursing a blue streak. I think this is the first kitchen I've worked in where swearing wasn't the norm as long as the customers were out of earshot.

Actually, we're nice people mostly, just not when we're at work and have 17 things that needed doing last week as of this moment right now thank you very much:D. We just learn to hide it, and then go home and play violence games on the computer or console system, like Loaded.
