You ain’t ever needed someone towed off of your property or out of your driveway have you?

Yea, so much more to food service management than people think. They see chef/chef manager/food service director, and they think oh he can cook. Great, what does that do for our company.. you try to explain the different sides of it, and some/most get stuck on the chef word.

I'm looking forward to if I do get this job to having my weekends back. most of the time.

Work from home then a massage at Skin. Getting my official retainer and ending my Invisalign treatment (started June 2020 - Gardner Ortho, highly recommend). Taking a class at Rowhouse and deciding if I’ll sign up . My back , legs and abs are sore from the 2 classes I took earlier this week so I’ll prob commit to the cheapest membership.

Management experience in a team focused environment with constant deadlines and adaptability is how I sold myself to employers when I got out. This was me describing a kitchen. There are lots of parallels to almost every other industry, sometimes it just takes explaining that to people who don't know everything involved in food logistics, restaurants, production etc. I was nervous as hell at first but quickly realized almost every other job that exists was less stressful and a breeze compared to the status quo I had accepted previously.

The Branch Davidians weren't the most rational folks either. Honestly I'm somewhat surprised we haven't seen more "Waco's" since the uprising of the Trumpsters.

Thanks, I know. I've been in it since I was 15, with a short break at 46.
Fortunately for me, I have tons of management experience(budgeting, HR, MS/Google Docs, leadership, and all that), so I'm hopeful that will help sell myself. It will initially be a pay cut, but longer-term salary should balance out.

I'll let you know!

I don't know how teachers do it, but some of these kids just try your patience. There's this one kid who thinks its okay to threaten teachers; even told one he was gonna fight them. This is elementary school btw.

Guy has a car that is 23 years old and American, he probably is in disbelief every time a shop tells him it needs $2,000 in work to be roadworthy.

I’m in rhe same boat about my second job. Idk if it’s worth it anymore

Getting out of the food industry is the single biggest thing you can do for your life and health. You got this!

Saw three of the brand new pedestrian crossing signs already hit and knocked over and missing on Cary, so you know looks like the same result as last time with these things

Thanks, I will try..

I'm intrigued

Elliott automotive!

This was on the RFD post about the fire. This is the pic. Still getting it in, while on fire.

Tàr. I had to read several critical reviews before I fully understood what the big deal was, but all in all it was quite a gripping character study.

Yesssss. I am so excited about Yellowjackets being back!

Oh nice! I've got to check out Infinity Pool, I've been a big fan of his dad's for ages and Possessor was awesome.

Hey there - older veteran richmonder here…yeah that sucks but you’re never going to win - don’t park anywhere for a “second”. Christians ain’t worth a trip to south side plaza. This is the way of the tow truck driver, you’ll only waste your energy yelling.

Mind blowing movies I’ve seen lately:

Supervixens- exploitation 70s film, off the wall crazy, lots of nudity and over the top scenes not to mention the last 20-30 min of this movie are batshit crazy. I wouldn’t call this a great movie in any way, but it IS unlike just about any movie I’ve ever seen.

Bay of Blood- a lot of the kills in this one inspired the Friday the 13th kills, specifically the spear through the bed kill. Once again, the ending to this one made me say out loud, “what the fuck?!”.

Infinity Pool- David Cronenberg’s son Brandon directed this, starts off seeming like some weird version of White Lotus and quickly turns into something far more cynical and sinister. Mia Goth is absolutely amazing in this movie (see Pearl for more awesome Goth) and it gave me chills. The idea is pretty crazy and gets pretty cerebral.

Edit: adding Cruising to this list. Directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist) starring Al Pacino as a homocide detective who goes undercover in the queer community to catch a a killer targeting gay men.

Hey, you'll do great! Remember to breathe!

I'm not usually into war movies, but I agree, it was astounding.

All Quiet On The Western Front on Netflix if you haven’t already. Deserved every Oscar it got and then some.

That truck driver is hilarious. Don't park there.
