Your favorite "other occupation".

I agree with Kuan, it can be interesting to be a witness in court, but unfortunately I have had to do so to convict, rather than exonerate a cook (he was kid of a sociopath).

My actual favorite job is marketing, though. I enjoy writing my email newsletters, and there is a satisfaction getting a promotional package done that is not unlike completing a catering job - lots of planning and waiting followed by a massive flurry of activity, then: quiet and smiles. Pretty cool.

Today it was mover , painter , and floor stripper and waxer ! We decided that the dry storage room 24 feet by 18 needed this cleanup and makeover before our next state survey inspection and so we did it today . All I can say is it was a lot of work and Im kinda sore right now . The labor force was me , my 13 year old son and my dishwasher who worked his day off . We started at 5 A.M. and finished at 8 P.M while serving 600 meals ! I'm tired just reading this and I think I'll just stick to cooking ( Yeah Right ) .
The room looks brand new though and I pity the first person to make a mess in there and not clean it up on the spot .
Keep cooking , Doug .............................

I have wisdom, conventional or otherwise. Comes with maturity, experience and training.

Besides being a chef,i am:
1) a calculator,as some people i work with admit they`re not too good at doing calculations in their head.
2) spellchecker,what can i say about that?I`ve put my thoughts on that in a thread at The Late Night Cafe.
3) a pearl diver(this is an British merchant navy term for washing-up).
4)an accounts clerk,i get the feeling someone in the accounts department is trying to tell me something.

EXECUTIONER

for those horrible layabout good for nothing the world owes me aliving prima donna lazy messy swearing dramatic useless chefs that constantly end up in my kitchen....perhaps i should have someone else do the hiring

[porkchopboy]

ah yes, the cleaning of toilets, washing of dishes, squashing of roaches that all sounds familiar but my favorite "other occupation" has to be that of photographer when ever we are putting out new items. we display them on the tables to hopfully whet the appetite of the dining public.
