So it has taken me roughly three years to get to the point where I quit my day job and try to head into the kitchen.

But of course, now that I am making progress, what happens? I get a call yesterday after class for an interview for a fairly coveted position back in my "old career". It was for a job that I prepared a resume for over a year ago. And wouldn't you know it...the phone call came RIGHT WHEN money is getting tight.

I will keep you all posted...

This week was much better in many ways. People may say anger and frustration are negative emotions...but I tell you it is a great motivator sometimes.

For Basic, I went into class OVER prepared so that way our team could compensate for any changes/delays/misdirection/etc. that may arise. It paid off! In fact, I think a few of the other teams were just as determined to not get screwed this week. Our instructor lost track of time again this week, and almost sent us into the kitchen...
