So. I applied to a couple jobs today. I feel good enough to try working again. I’m a little nervous that it’s gonna screw me up and I’ll get paranoid at work. But I’m gonna give it a go. I applied to Chilis to be a line cook. It will probably get chaotic but I spent 5 years as a cook at Olive Garden. And would patiently handle 8 saute burners at a time with 20 total orders. It was easy to me. So I think staying calm will be a breeze.
If it doesn’t work out I have no problem just walking out forever. I’ve quit so many jobs it’s not even funny.
Good luck! I kinda romanticize about being a chef/line cook – I think it would be a blast. But I know I can’t hack it. I’ve tried doing dishwashing, and even that was too tough. Anyways, hope you get the job!
I got the job! They hired me on the spot! Now to see if i can actually handle stress. I just got a new doctor and she put me on gabapentin for anxiety.
