    Just tell your boss what's on your mind and they may actually listen. Some times it's not immidiate, but usually a boss will appreciate a good worker and hook you up with what you want.
    Indeed. I was actually in kitchen today; I haven't done it for over a year ago, and I need the experience to get my apprenticeship out of the way. They put me on fry station for the dinner period, and I made a comment like "This is the closest I'm ever going to get to kitchen..." After my break, they stuck me on grill. I made a few mistakes, but nothing major. I also learnt a lot.

    I have blisters all over my fingers now, though.

    I guess every new job skill requires figuring out a new set of tricks and aquiring a new set of callouses.

    I've been working with high-temp solder recently. My middle finger was blistered pretty bad just from residual heat but over this weekend, it calloused up. I'm ready to kick a** tomorrow!

    Who's looking forward to grabbing monday by it's pencil neck and squeezing the life out of it!?!?!?!?!?

    When I was working a shift one night, the manager I was helping asked me to drop some fries. The vent over the vat wasn't put in properly after stacks were done. Well the vent fell right into the vat, and splashed oil all over my hands. Blistered pretty bad, went back to the grill area squirted some mustard on it, and it was good the next day. Back on the actual grill there was several incidents where my dumbass just wasn't paying attention. One time I almost got my hand caught under the clamp, another I touched the clamp when scrapping it. I received more scars working at McDonald's than I did at bootcamp, and basic training.

    Sitting here waiting for Rocky, and Che to notice me!!

    My monday is slowly suffocating under my kung-fu grip.
    Soldering is now my b*tch.
