I’ve been contacted by a number of people over the years regarding how much they enjoy my rants. In a way, it’s strange for me to rant, because I see myself as a fairly non angry kinda person. Common sence and understanding really helps me deal with alot of things, so I’m not really sure where this energy to write such colourful and hearty monologues. I guess it’s the release from the buildup of stress. When I’m in the kitchen, I can’t walk away from it for a few moments and take a break. I have to keep going, the stress builds, my stamina drains and it all goes fucking pear shaped.
For I’ve always attributed anger to a lack of understanding, appreciation and not looking at things from another point of view. So, when I’m stressed, I only think of myself and my well being. Everyone else can go to poop. In a way, I’ve always been aware of this, but it’s only now I’ve started thinking, the bitchen can wait for their god damn food. If they want good food, they better wanna wait for it.
(omg I just realised that I can touch type (i have been able to for a long time tho))
On the other hand, this realisation of understanding, or lack there of also paradoxically makes me feel annoyed. Because it’s the people who complain, who winge, who bitch and moan about their meal, abotu how it looks and how long it took without thinking about how or why. Sure if I make a crap meal, I’ll make it again. But it’s the “why did it take…” “this isn’t what I thought it was” “this isnt how my mum makes it” “I thought it would be bigger” “I’m gonna pour salt on this before I taste it ok” complaints that shit me off. Like, the place is full, you’ve stood in a line for 15 minutes, where 1000 people infront of you have ordered food. It doesnt make sence that your meal took 25 minutes? fuck you.
It takes me on average 5 minutes or so to make a meal/order. So, say if I have 10 orders, that would be logically 50 minutes? No, I multitask as best as I can given the size of my mental bandwidth (nerd joke har). Realistically, I’m fucking quick. I get the food on the floor faster and better than anyone at work, most probably faster than anyone has there. It’s all quality. I take pride in it. So, if the meal you ordered after the 100 people takes 20 minutes when you’re out next, be fucking grateful. Because there is someone like me out he back, stressed to the fuckin max, calling every person on the other side of the counter naughty names and trying to do the best damn job they can.
Well, in 10 hours, I’ll be slavin over the fucking hot stove again for 8 hours. I’m looking forward to taking pride in my work and doing a good fuckin job. And their gonna love their damn food.
This means in a way, I don’t really need to rant about things. The rants are funny, fucking funny. I like them. But they make me feel insecure, they show a weakness in my understanding, which hurts my ego.
50 bucks I come home pissed off tomorrow afternoon after work because of dumb ass bogan fuck up customers.
