Today wants to eat me

[galadriel1010]

Turned up at work yesterday and was asked to cook today. We lost a chef a couple of weeks ago, and today we just don't have enough staff to replace him. I'm not doing his shift instead of mine, I'm doing it as well. At the same time. I may well end up working about 11 hours, on one of our busiest days, without enough staff to do the actual job. Our department needs a minimum of three on busy days. Today it will have two. TWO! I might end up cooking a hundred meals with only one person to run the bar and take the food out to the tables, not to mention clearing the tables off and washing the dishes. This is not physically possible.

Fortunately I have booze and ice cream waiting for me at the other end. Now I just have to get there.

Actual cooking or if your food mostly ready made? Either way, impressive if it's outside of your remit.

Most of it's ready made, thank goodness. And it's not just outside my remit, they took me off that job because I'm too slow at it. I felt like wonderwoman today, though XD

Gosh they do think you are Superwoman don't they?
I hope you get more help otherwise I recommend good shoes or a pair of rollerblades.
Crank up the music and see you on the other side!

Officially they think I'm too slow lol. We did get one of the managers in the evening, thankfully, and I have steel toed safety shoes with good insoles in them. No music allowed, though :(
