"commander, tear this ship apart until you find those plans, and bring me the passengers...i want them alive!

so, had orientation at the new joint yesterday.  got to meet the rest of the kitchen crew and very briefly sat in a room with the waitstaff but didn't get to meet any of them.  the front of the house manager is actually a girl i used to go to high school with.  anyway, the kitchen staff is me, chef gus (who shall be henceforth known as el chefe), wade (night cook), colin (pt weekend days), billy (pt weekend nights), and two prep/dishwasher kids, one was named merit  (i think) and the other one i forget his name but he had a camo hat on so i'll just call him bubba.  i saw the schedule, and it was exactly as el chefe promised me.  that's a plus.  i didn't have any reason to think otherwise, but it's nice to see it on paper. 

el chefe really wanted me to be part of the launch so i got friday off at the old place to come knock out lunch at the new joint.  i still got a week and a half of shifts at the old job, but he wanted me to feel like i was around at the beginning, as opposed to showing up two weeks into it when everybody is starting to settle into their routines.  and i was flattered, and i'm excited to show up on friday and show everybody how i put it down.  the menu isn't hard but i still got a little homework to do before i show up.

so yeah, yesterday was spag night blah blah blah did i mention i got a new job?

sorry, it's pretty much all i can think about.  that, and the season premier of LOST last night.  holy shit, by the way.

anyway, just wanted to knock out a post to let everybody know i'm still blogging.  stay tuned, kids!
