Uneventful dishwashing

The usual routine continued in the kitchen, and I continued to observe my colleagues. Perhaps a change would be good for everyone, but for now, I accept that this is part of my life.

This boring work is worse; that’s just how it is when there’s a lot of tasks, the problem is when there’s nothing to do, that’s the problem. Having fewer tasks is more tiring. If only we could hire the dishwasher on a project basis! That is, it wouldn’t matter when I work; they just show me: there’s the task, here’s the goal, and you have to work with these colleagues. I would definitely work two hours less for the same pay. However, it doesn’t matter anymore, starting next week, we’ll have autumn opening hours, theoretically, there’s no need to substitute the dishwasher.

In addition, some interesting things happened, like going to the store. What I don’t understand is that the kitchen is perfectly normal with me. What did I do? Probably nothing that would have offended them. However, I do my work diligently.

The waitress looks particularly good in this breakfast-serving role. It’s quite endearing when she puts on her kind and caring mask. I want to believe that this is her real face.

Today’s observation: if her love isn’t here and none of the kitchen assistants are here, then the pastry chef becomes diligent. Based on his work, it’s understandable why he’s respected in so many places.

Our chefs: During an evening beer, we’ll have few common topics, but perhaps I’m starting to understand them. I see that there are aspects of their personalities for which they can be respected.
