yeah, sometimes there is just 80 hours of work expected from you and 40 hours of pay offered to you....

you can either do your 40 hours paid, frantically trying to get everything done without enough prep

or you can put in overtime and get things done, even if its unpaid.

luckily for me, im not normally doing prep anymore, and as our prep kitchen is not quite built yet its having to be done in the main kitchen, alongside starters, so weve got extra people in to do it earlier on, so we have room for starters....

i still think about just throwing it all in and getting an office job... i was making $15 p/hr just doing basic clerical, and if i really put all in i could pull $50 p/hr doing computer servicing (i did a degree in networking concepts and computer platforms

but thats not what im in this job for... luckily i dont have to do 80+ hours a week... i do 50 or 60 (for 42 hrs pay of course!) and i still get some time off to do things i want to do, not that i have a lot of money to do them with... so i just play COD4 all the time sgt soap mactavish of the 22nd at your service lol
