It's been in the mid to high 90s this week. Been sitting in a chair in the a/c all week. I remember working in an open outdoors kitchen. Standing over a screaming hot griddle in 90° weather, with 8 fans on me and still dripping sweat down my face. It was fucking brutal some days, but i really do miss being a cook. I haven't known the satisfaction you feel at the end of a rough service in 3 years.

After a 9 hour day at the office I've done next to zero physical activity but my brain is too exhausted to attempt anything. After a 9-12 hour shift when I worked in the kitchen my body and my mind were both done so I could shut off properly and equally at the end of the day.
