Hell's Kitchen

I'm writing this entry at 12:30 on pen and paper in the new den that I have constructed in my bedroom which I have to say is very cosy and comfortable with "You could have had it so much better" playing. My reason for doing this is that I have felt that my entries of late have been lacking in depth and having found a second wind when I have come home late having been working in the restraunt that rather than lie in bed restless I could better use this time constructivly. Which is what I shall do and write my entry for tomorrow now, which means dear reader that you are reading something written at least 12 hours in the past. How starnge, doesn't it just mess with your mind? (A bit like "Lost" does, the 1st season of which I have started watching on DVD again having decided to wait for the 2nd season to arrive on DVD so that I can watch  them all one after the other the way I like it). Even more so as you now see words I sit here writing with my penmenship whci I have in actual fact typed and put onto my blog somewhere on cyberspace as a chronicle of my life. Boy! This is going  way off track of my originally planned entry, perhaps I should return to this topic I have stumbled  across in the near future and grab myself top blog in the process (which I did once do with my former PirateSteve5 blog, good times as they say).

 

Well back to my original plan.

 

To give you all a bit more detail as to what has been going on in my life of late or rather just today's action which is now yesterday (that..........CRUMBS!!! I saw what I'am now seeing in a dream recently, spooky. You all probably all think I'm losing my marbles now but it's true throughout my life I have had these occurences when I have seen things through my eyes in a dream only to in the future see that very same flash of vision that I witnessed in my dream whist I am awake. I can't tell the future or anything so don't bother to ask me to but I do every once and awhile see something whilst I'm awake something that I saw earlier in my dreams. Anway before that realisation hit me I was just about to say that my whole strange angle had entered this entry again, perhaps forces are at work to get me to discuss this rather than neuroscience and chef's on the rampage as I planned on adn still intend on doing so! What do you think of all this dear reader?)

 

Anway for you out there who are regular readers of mmy blog and past incarnations will be aware that I did not sit my neruroscience exam  in December  as I had hoped and which I am now due to take in August. So that I may gain my BSc before undertaking my training as a CSI (perhaps my psychic abilities will aid me in fighting crime like those seen in the character played by Lance Henrikson of TVs "Mellenium"). Well I feel that today (yesterday) was the first true step to achieveing this goal by reading a chapter of "Neuron to Brain" on direct synaptic transmission. Interesting. I plan to do a lot of this textbook reading over the coming weeks and to then produce answers to past exam questions in preperation for August so that I have all my bases covered come the day I take and pass the exam. That is a day I look forward to.

 

The restraunt tonight can only be best described as "Hells Kitchen". I don't know what has got into Stuart (a senior chef) but he had been in a bad mood with his jon of late. Always swearing and threatening to walk out, what he would achieve by this I don't know? Perhaps he is in a certain point now in his life where he is npt happy. Anway, some steak fillets that I stacked in the oven (230 degrees celcius, twice the boiling point of water) fell out on him (having already being badly burnt once that evening) and he was burnt by this and I took a right bollocking (felt like I was about to be given the sack from this job as well, story of my life at the moment living with the constant threat of being fired) before being told that there is a correct way to stack them, the way I had been doing it was incorrect. Well! In my defence if I had been shown this in the first instance (the training scheme in that place is non existent) then this incident would have been prevented. Throw in loads of incorrect orders made by the waiting staff, a kitchen where the temperature and blood pressure were building, a limited number of certain types of plate, staff becoming tired and tempers becoming frayed I hope you can see how it was Hell's Kitchen tonight (at least I'm on the day shift tomorrow, things should be less hectic). However, one has to wonder with summer approaching every day and with it the high season of tourists visiting, we will be into our busiest time of the year soon I can only wonder if Hells Kitchen is not going to explode into Dantes Inferno!

 

On another note about the restraunt as I had chosen not to take the car tonight I was left waiting outside and had my first real chance to look at the menu and was left gobsmacked at how high the prices were and yet I'm left working for peanuts for the work that I do for them. I guess that is capatilism for you.

 

Well, it is now 23 past 1 in the morning and I'm working a 7:30 to 5 shift today going straight from one of my jobs to the next so I had best get some sleep if I'm going to get through it all. And most of all publish this entry which I suppose if your reading now means that I have been successful in doing/

 

This has been an intersting expereince. What will I write this time tomorrow or do I mean today, heck, why not even yesterday? Hvae I invented the time machine? Or is this all just an optical illusion?

 

I shall let you decide dear reader,

 

Long days and pleasant nights,

 

And remember to keep watching the skys
