And I mean whoosh.
Mentally, I love the challenge of this new culinary puzzle. Physically, I not allowed to lift anything heavy. Long time Boogerbutts may recall it was hot side water jackets, that threw my back out and landed a 2 months on the sidelines.
But that's when I started studying coupon from the couch, thanks to YouTube and TLC. So all in all, not a bad thing, but still not what I want to happen again.
Today is the day after my hot side training and my head is pounding and I want to call off. But I won't because either I can do this job, or I go back to cold side only.
I don't want that to happen.
Instead, I'll continue to work on my weight gain, get stronger, and keep moving forward. At the end of this culinary challenge is a higher raise and better hours.
Having said that, my outlook early this morning wasn't good, because all I wanted was to do was hide under my pillow.
Oh, sweetie! Hang in there! This is all experience for when you have your own restaurant.
ReplyDeleteIf it's any consolation, I'm traing Genius Kid on the home hot side. He's a little frustrated too. Learning how to time your meats, veggies and bread so everything is done at the same is hard.
I'm sorry he's frustrated. I don't feel frustrated, I just hurt. The timing part, that's where the fun is.
DeleteGood luck! Sure you'll do grand :)
ReplyDeleteI've been over there for a bit now. Just physically challenging.
DeleteWishing you the best but please be careful. Your health is more important. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Totally agree. They trained me with the understanding that I will lift NOTHING heavy.
DeletePower through it, Ivy. You can do it! Just don't lift anything.
ReplyDeleteNope, no lifting. That's been and will remain the deal.
DeleteThinking about you and hoping you will feel great in no time. Training on something new always gives me a headache. You can do it! :)
ReplyDeleteMy head hurts because of my neck. But I rather enjoy the challenge, mentally.
DeleteYou can do it! Perseverance pays off, it really does.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I can do it safely, I sure will keep at it. Thanks.
DeleteThat sounds like grueling work Whisk. I hope your body can handle it. Be careful and don't risk injuring yourself.
ReplyDeleteI've been in training now for a few weeks, I'm seeing if I can do it. If not, back to cold side (which is bakes, but still called cold side).
DeleteKeep plugging away Whisk, I thought my head was going to explode while I was training for my new job, but I survived, just don't hurt your back again!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing well now. I won't hurt my back, or that is the plan not to. Thanks and a great big boogie boogie, your way.
DeleteYes as Ray say's you can do it but look after yourself too
ReplyDeleteIan
I sure will, Ian. Thanks and a great big boogie boogie to you as well.
DeleteYou can do it! Go for it, but be good to yourself, too.
ReplyDeleteSound advice :-)
DeleteSounds to me like you're a determined cookie. Good for you but please do take precautions. I'm sure you probably wear a back support, or if you don't then please do. They work wonders for people who are standing for hours.
ReplyDeleteJai
Been training a few weeks now. And I NEVER lift anything that isn't safe for me. My job, hot or cold is ALL standing.
DeleteThat's kitchen life.
Hope you stay healthy. Let someone else to the heavy lifting.
ReplyDeleteThey do, I don't do water jackets. That was part of the deal, to keep me safe.
DeleteHope it gets easier quick.
ReplyDeleteYes, best not to want to hide under a pillow. Thanks.
DeleteIt's what you deserve girl!
ReplyDeleteThere are days when hiding one's head under the pillow is too comfy to leave behind....
