Friday Night - When Will the Fun Begin?…
Some people have commented on how the blog posts I create here are too long. Perhaps that’s what cost me a perfect 10/10 rating for my Bloggy Award. So in light of that criticism, allow me to post a quick story about what life is like these days with the schedule I now have to live by.
 Perhaps this is what it used to be like at a Friday night party for me, but not any more… |
It is important to remember for the following conversation that I work Wednesday - Sunday. And this following conversation happened today, a Friday.
Tim (other sous chef): So, Matt, any big plans for tonight?
Me: Ummm, I plan on going to bed early so I can be here tomorrow morning to open the restaurant, Tim.
Tim: Oh, yeah.
That pretty much sums up what happens to your social life in the cheffing world. Especially those of us how have the morning shift. Nighttime parties are a thing of the past, and with my weekends devoured by work, I look at Fridays in pretty much the same light that the rest of you view Wednesdays. While you all are saying “TGIF”, I am look at Friday as “hump day”.
It takes some getting used to, and I’m not sure if I’m all the way there yet. Which is odd, seeing as how I’ve been doing this for almost a year now. But I think after living the M-F schedule my whole life up until this point, it’s be hard to shake it off in just a few months.
Stumble it!

I don’t think that your posts are too long, but I do question your fashion sense

Ok, you closed the comments on the RR thread, totally understand, but I just HAD to say that I love you for “sweater cows”, that is the funniest thing I have heard in days. I will never watch GDL again without thinking “sweater cows”. Thats so 7th grade but dammit, I love it.

Chris - You are not alone in that questioning. Just look at the pants I bought…
Eize - it is good to know that some people like my overly long-winded posts.
Nika - While I closed down the commenting there to stop the comments, I am thrilled you love my 12-year old humor. If ever there was one who was my “soul mate” it would have to be someone who took the time to make an off-topic comment about a joke that elementary school students would tell. Glad I made you laugh.

“Cheffing” is a word? I had no idea…
