w00t! Day off
So I woke up this morning at around 10, 10:30ish. Then just sat in bed reading Alton Browns "I'm just here for More Food." It's all about baking and techniques for it. It goes into great great detail. Which is awesome. Alton Brown, he writes excellent excellent cookbooks. Highly recommended. If you like cooking, and want to cook very very well. Then read/study his books.
So today I'm gonna pay rent, maybe check my accounts and stuff. I think we're gonna try and go to Salisbury and try and get a Sam's Club membership. (it's like Costco, but run by Wal-Mart.)
ok, the pro's, prepare for a short list.
Because all the workers here are, lets say, ineffective. We look like absolute gods compared to the rest of them. The Chef's trust us with VIP function stuff. Which we do well, because we're all good cooks. So that's awesome, we have a chance to shine.
(another con, the executive chef doesn't like to promote interns! PIECE OF MONKEY CRAP!)
The cost of living down here is ridiculously cheap. We're living in a 4 bedroom house, double garage, air conditioning, nice neighbourhood, we're not too far from a school (which is of no importance to us, but would be attractive to families) and we're within walking distance of downtown Cambridge.
Even buying stuff like clothes and shoes are cheap. There are outlet malls at most an hour in any direction. I can get a laptop computer, a really good one, for like 1000$ And because we're splitting up the house between 6 people, bills are relatively cheap. Food isn't even that big of an issue, since Hyatt gives us free meals (we're only supposed to have one a day, but if you leave a little earlier you can get breakfast, and you finish work before 8 you can get dinner) the food isn't good, like everything else here, but it's free!
And, big bonus. I'm finally not living with my parents. So it's time to grow up and become an adult.
Also, Hyatt is a worldwide resort chain. Once I finish here, I'll get a really good recommendation from Mikey, and maybe go to another Hyatt, (A hyatt park, which is a step above regency) in Australia, or Italy, or wherever else I wanna travel to.
I am learning here, it's just not about food. It's more about people, how to teach them to cook, how to manage and supervise and encourage them. So it's not all bad.
It's mostly just a change of goals now.That stupid mike, he's such an asshole. I'm writing this cuz he's reading over my shoulder, stupid voyueristic pervert. Getting off on this are ya?
*Mike interlude* Oh god baby. Yes. Oh yes.
*Brendon's interlude* ummm.... i'm glad the lease has changed over.........
Anyways, those are the pro's. It's not horrible here, it's just different. But I'm gonna go now. later.
