Oh criminey...

So I stepped out to say syonara to my brother and I go back in and the house is filled with smoke and the detectors are going insane, and then I realise I was cooking sausauges.

Good thing they survived, delicious.

Oh my...

You gotta be a little more aware, Little Lebowski.

I started a new job today cooking in a corporate kitchen at one of Gap's headquarter buildings. It's my first day of work in eight months. I get up at 4:30 to get there and meet everybody, start prepping a few things, chopped some fruit. I'm not even working two hours yet and plunk, my cleaver taps me on the middle knuckle on the thumb of my left hand, I look and, well I won't get too graphic but i could see everything. Worst cut I've had. I got it wrapped up and thought I had my supervisor convinced I could finish my shift (in reality I could) but the person in charge of payroll and worker's comp claims came down and saw quite a bit of crimson through my latex glove and drove me herself to a clinic. Six stitches. I thought I was done-for but they say I can come back tomorrow.
The doctor who stitched me stitched the sous-chef twice in two months but it still burns me up. I been cooking professionally for more than twelve years and I pull a greenhorn mistake like that.

aww, dude, that sux. but I'm sure they realize it may have been first day jitters, even if it wasn't. I'm sure you'll prove yourself to them in due time.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Es, and I believe they did take first day jitters into consideration.
