Wow, everyone does something different....

I am a student and a line cook/supervisor thingie at a franchised Hyatt Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. Its the Hyatt Regency Pier 66... we make fun of my job and call it "As The Pier Top Turns" because its so drama filled ever since we got bought out by the lovely Blackstone Group.

Anyways this is how a Mon/Wed can go

6am(well now 8am(or later) since I dont have class till 9:40 and the new quarter hasnt starded so I dont know how things will work out) roll over and hit the snooze button

6:10am swear that it has not been 10 minutes and that my alarm is on drugs; hit snooze again

6:13 the cats are pissed that I havent greeted them yet so they are all up ons and in need of attention

6:15-6:20 acknowledge the beasts, work my way out of bed and to the bathroom.. I watch as my cats get pissed off but I refuse to feed them as soon as I get up

6:20-6:30 get dressed, feed the beasts, check the poop box, go wash hands, check to make sure I have all my shit together for school and see if my roommate made coffee( I hate it when she doesnt make coffee but I wont do it myself, Ill leave early to go get a free Jamba Juice)

6:30-6:45 make sure I have everything again(Im very forgetful) check my work bag, put on my shoes, play with the beasts and watch some news.

6:45ish I leave the house for class at 7:30 If I leave after 7 Ill hit traffic and I wont find a parking spot

7-7:15ish arrive at school, park, go to classroom and sleep

7:30-9:30 1st period(insert class I dont give a damn about here) I try not to sleep and am constantly playing on my cell phone

9:30-9:40 check to make sure I have homework for 2nd period and run off to get to that classroom so I get a good seat

9:40-11:40 2nd period, more cell phone games/IM and pretending Im listening

11:40-12:20 LUNCH if only I had time for drinks....lunch is wherever we can grab it...

12:20-2:20 3rd period (usually half asleep from lunch with soda in hand) more playing on the cell phone...

2:20-2:30 changing classrooms and checking for homework

2:30-4:30(usually 4pm though!) 4th period, something I care about..... I still IM on my cell phone though

4ish-5ish commute to work in rush hour traffic no matter what way I go or what side street I take or what backasswards way I discover Im always stuck for like 45 min. I avoid the I 95 like the plauge though.

5ish clock in at work and say hi to the security guards...

5ish get upstairs, change pants real fast in the little office and get my knives out for work

5:30 ish start stuffing my face and BSing with co-workers

6ish start swearing that people are stupid and the next person to make a special order will be killed and served as our "Employee Meal"

7ish-10ish start going over the days drama, watching my chef bite the bartenders ass, having the bartender ask "when can we fuck"(the answer is never), plotting world domination, playing on the cell phones, making weird creations, pulling my bartenders finger, and last but not least actually doing some prep work if we're not busy, if we're busy... Im usually cussing at the printer and telling room service to "fuck off" because how the cake ends up on the plate is how the cake ends up on the plate. We're also probably doing something against company policy at this time too.(and no its not harmful to the consumer)

10:30 chef leaves, I am alone for the night! Totally sucks though if Im working with jackass #1 in room service and the bar is full I go to room service to sleep

10:30-1 sleep, sometimes I work, sometimes I am disturbed by my buds in security, the Manager on Duty(MOD) comes by... sometimes people call and piss me off because I have to work and make shit like NY strip, well done...very well done, vegetables only(how the hell do you eat that burnt piece of shit) I throw anything "well"(except for chicken) in the microwave. Fuck you people who dont know how to enjoy meat.

12am I pack up the line, putting everything into the reach in coolers so I can pretty much get the fuck out of there at 1am but keeping it uncovered untill 1am so I dont have to dig for the stuff I need.

12:55am tell room service "DONT ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE" because Ill kill them if they do......

1am do a wipe down, wrap my food up, put all the utensils away, turn off my equipment and walk donwnstairs to punch out(sometimes I have to bury my stolen goodies..bottled water, cereal... my dinner)

1:15am(at the latest unless I change to go out) I punch out

1:40-2am get home, shower, sleep
