Well, technical skills can be gained. What's important is your personal acumen, friendliness, and willingness to help people! Good luck!

It's an odd dichotomy. At school I have to prepare dishes I've never heard of, using techniques I've never used, under a strict time limit and judged by a professional chef. At work they won't let me make so much as a turkey sandwich.

No. I just like lying to people.

Why I wear a chef uniform every time I turn in an application: sometimes the kitchen manager will drop what he's doing to talk to you immediately. Just had a promising impromptu interview; if it goes as well as that estage a couple weeks ago I'm -- well, completely fucked. So let's hope it goes "new job" better.

Got a new job working as a driver at another pizza place in town. Unlike Domino's, this place does 80% of their business as delivery. They have a delivery radius that's literally about 150% larger, but they're at the intersection of two interstates, so i can zip to most of my destinations at 70mph. Pay's lower, but more deliveries a night. Should be good times.

I think I'll use this opportunity to save money and start going to school to get my CDL.

And you're sure the head driver doesn't have an attitude problem or anything?

Got promoted the other day from lesson-testing-guy to author! Now I actually get to build these things instead of just fixing 'em!

I will post a video of my first lesson later. It is entitled Wasps: Zero Percent Mercy.

Well, if he does, it shouldn't be a problem for long. The wife and I are getting into the world of OTR trucking as soon as I can get my CDL, which I will hopefully be started on before the end of the year. I need to find the most economical education option first - there are a lot of companies out here who will train you, but you basically become an indentured servant for 2-3 years afterwards, which leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth. This probably won't cost me more than 5 grand, and since I'm horribly low income, I can probably apply for a loan even with my bad credit to just take a course at a community college or tech school or something.

Today I found out when I changed my shifts for Tuesday I accidently gave myself one less hour than what I usually work. Pretty dumb mistake, but not really a big deal, overall.

People have been vanishing from my training class one by one.  I suspect they're being fed to us for lunch.

Why would you suspect that? Did the food taste exceptionally abused?

Any time people vanish from my life I just automatically assume they're being ground up into mystery meat.

We all have a little bit of Arc inside of us.

It's because we ate part of him.

They wouldn't feed them to you, they'd feed them to the company CEO or the shareholders or something.
