| |  So when is enough, ENOUGH!!
I've been having a Peter Griffin "grinds my gears" day today. I've had enough. It's 12.30 am. and i'm heading for the wine box and a second pack of smokes.
For those who dont watch Family guy, ....Well you should cos its funny
To be serious for a moment. i'm curious to know what culinary (or other) experiences you've had that just pushed you a wee bit too far and you've wanted to yell ENOUGH!!!

The Saturday before Mother's Day....I arrive at the shop to find my fridge died over night. Lost $1,000 worth of dairy and product....and all of my prep...and still had tons of orders yet to fill and a shop to stock.
I felt like handing the keys to the highest bidder and walking out and NEVER coming back.
My sous took one look at the fridge and after three months of no smoking immediately walked outside and lit a cigarette.
It was not a great day. |

When I have to run a 3 man station by myself and get slammed for the lunch rush then cover someone else's station when they go on their break and have to stay late to count inventory and/or need to tie up lose ends like unwashed working areas and sometimes need to do some additional prep. Oh wait, that was today...and last week....and the week before....and the month before. |

When servers would "shop" the window or pass for food for their tables and take it out of sequence on other tables. Happened only when we had no one on the server side of the window since I was stuck running a station on the line. Drove me out of my friggen mind! Yelling enough was not usually the only word that came up. 
Ahh...... the fun of operating a kitchen for High Dollar owners on a low dollar and almost non existant budget. |

Given I've not had a holiday in over 10 years and working more than full time - guess it's no wonder. Now that holiday was great - just by myself on the beach. No kids, no phones, no work, no hubby. I stored a lot of good stuff for mental visualisation for relaxation at that time which I still use when ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!! . Just the view of a sunset, fishing off the pier, sitting at the water's edge at the edge of the jungle, looking over to the mainland and watching the storm clouds roll in at dusk, sounds of the night birds. Still works for me.
I think many others are under the same kind of stress.... look after everything else and everyone else but never take time for yourself - it ain't no good at all.

| | enough is ENOUGH!
since this is SUPPOSED to be non-food, i would say
enough is ENOUGH for all those ppl who want to deprive
me of my guns and ammo!
out in the country, guns are like hammers ... they are there
until you need one. stupid gun laws cuz some cracked up
gang banger shoots another. or some a**h**e decides it is
easier to rob someone than get a job.
out in the country, we pop a deer or pig or turkey and enjoy
the benefits of healthy, free food. there is no law out here ...
only five sheriffs in the county?? who is gonna come if you
dial 911?? that's right ... no one ... unless you want to wait
until next tuesday...
better than 99.5% of the guns are owned and used by legal
law abiding citizens. so for all the stupid "new" laws being
proposed ... enough is ENOUGH! |

I walked into the shop at the casino and the boss informed day shift had did nothing as far as putting 150 slot machines back in a room that had been re-carpeted the day before. We were supposed to do it on the 4 to midnight shift which is the busiest as far as repair calls to the rest of the casino. Oh and as he headed out the door he told me 4 of the 5 crew who worked under me called in sick so have fun. The 2 of us did what we could and left the day crew a nasty gram on the board in the shop  |
