Hey everyone I will not be around as much the next few weeks...that's the good news to many!
Today the hotel general manager from the hotel I am a Chef at calls me and tells me he has a shortage in the kitchen with two banquets and no dish washer and needs leadership for the day shift. Mind you I was scheduled in at 2:00 pm and it is only about 10 minutes before nine in the morning. Of course my first thought is "Why isn't the Executive Chef calling me with this information?" I of course said I will be there as soon as possible and walked in around 10:40 am to a chorus of "Thank God you're here!" That is when I found out the Executive Chef WALKED OUT with ZERO NOTICE!!! I was the first one to answer the phone so I got the 12 hour day today and am now in line to be a "Co-Chef" of the the place possibly. For the time being my schedule is Sundays from 7am to 3pm, Mondays from 2pm to 10pm and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am to 10pm and Friday and Saturday from 8am to 11pm!!! Needless to say that leaves little time for the computer or ANYTHING ELSE!!! Yikes...but oh what fun it is to chase your dreams!!!
