Im a freakin rock star.
Its been a long time since Ive had a kitchen let alone worked in one. I've missed cooking for myself, I didn't think I missed cooking for other people. I had also forgotten how well known I am in this town.
Today was my first day in a new job. They threw my ass to the wolves and I loved every minute of it. No one on the line could keep up with me, not even expo. I flooded that window so fast I made server's heads spin. I really missed my pans and had no idea. Then they wanted to see me prep and gave me 40 pounds of shirmp to peel. 20 pounds for scewers and 20 butterflied. I finished the shirmp and cleaned my station in under 40 minutes.
Maybe its just because it was the first day, or maybe it was because its been so long, but I really enjoyed my day. And I already knew half the staff. I felt kinda proud when all these front of the house people would walk up to the table the chef and me were at giving me praise, excited I was there. Too bad they couldn't keep up, but whats new? ;)

Ah my kitten I am so glad you’re the way you are
You’re my favorite living human by far
’cause you make this frightening world less bizarre
