what keeps me going is i know i wont keep going.. i've been getting 14 an hour for a month or so making salads and wraps.. 12 an hour before that making burgers and pasta and shit.. i've considered going to culinary school and trying to chef it up but its one of those things you have to work so FUCKING hard for and then you still probably wont get paid shit. So fuck it. I'll do something else.

>$14 an hour

Fuck, that'd be a 40% raise for me.

I work the entire line and know how to make/prep everything. I have a key and often close up the restaurant by myself. I also do much of the inventory, make orders, delegate to the other cooks/prep cooks, come up with specials/soups, and work with the chef on menu development... I make $12 an hour. I go to work everyday on adderall and Klonopin, and drink myself to sleep every night with lots and lots of vodka. Fuck, half the week I basically show up to work a little drunk, and time it so that the booze wares off right when the uppers and feel good shit kicks in.

The chef loves me and keeps talking about wanting to keep me around and make lots of money together when he opens a second location. Everyone else BoH really just sucks, and they probably wouldn't be able to survive if I walked away, but the chef already promised me a raise once we become profitable (it's a newish place), and I otherwise like the environment.

Thats what am afraid of, i dont know anything about cooking gourmet style, i mean... i like it but thats about it. All that i can say to you is that persistance is the key, but you cant trust me, i havent do jackshit.
