OK, so it's been like a hundred years since my last post... what can I say... been a little busy (depressed), busy...  ;)

So, moving to Austin in about a week.  My sissy (Renee.. bless her heart), has offered me a place to 'semi-retire' (yeah, right!)... 

I've sold off most of my belongings... am giving many of them to charity, and my 'beloved' sofa-bed and love seat is going to my 'pseudo' daughter Lynsey!  I've gotten a 'few' offers for them.... but not enough to keep it from Lynsey!  

Anywho.. hopefully she'll be by tonight to pick them up... 

Meanwhile... I found out from a little bird that the restaurant that I worked for... was grateful for the opportunity from... that ended up being a complete nightmare... well... they plan to sue me... because of this blog... the blog that only my sister reads... hell... she probably doesn't even read... 


Even if thousands read it... it wouldn't matter... there's nothing sue-worthy here... Any 'bitching' that I did or complaints that I had were completely valid and nothing was 'fabricated' or even 'over the top'... Granted... if I WAS still working there... they'd probably fire me for not saying how 'AWESOME' it was to work there... but whatever... I did them a favor by showing them what they COULD become if they got their heads out of their.... well... you know.  I know they have a job to do and a 'bottom line' they have to show... but SOMETIMES... just SOMETIMES... you have to let the people who actually KNOW what they're doing... allow them the chance to do it... and show what they can bring to your 'BOTTOM LINE'... and not criticize them the entire time... see what happens in a few months... THEN make your decisions... I never got that opportunity... I just kept getting thrown into the lion's den... so I left. You can't give a chef 12 hours notice that they are to 'sneak preview' and entire NEW menu on the same night that they need to cook for a catered event with 75 people!  It just doesn't work that way in the real world!  THAT is the stuff they pulled... a LOT... not to mention the fore mentioned (in previous blogs) 'lack of prep time'... which seems to be an ongoing theme... 

Anyway... 'RESTAURANT'... you want to sue me?  Go ahead... WTF... You don't want to pay the $10 an hour for necessary prep time... you really want to spend $250-$300 an hour for a lawyer who is going to tell you that I didn't say anything sue worthy?

I had considered removing the blog... just to avoid the hassle of a law suit... but after 'reading' what I wrote... there just wasn't anything there that I found overly inflammatory...  So... my blog will remain in-tact.  I know that my little birdie is probably working along side the restaurant.. but that's OK.. do what you need to do sweetie... I stand by each blog... I stand by my frustrations... and I stand by my final decision to leave based on the facts of the matter.


And Renee... the only person other than the folks at the restaurant who are reading this... 


Be there soon!!  Look forward to the 'Kid Chef' lessons that are already planned!


Muah!!!
