I wasn't sure where to stick this, so I figured I'd put it here since I'm still technically a student (about 6 credits short of the degree).

First off, I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but I found it was hard as **** finding a job in a kitchen.

Second, now that I've actually found one, I'm nervous as **** starting it today (fry cook btw).

I realize it's all a routine and such, but I guess I'm just nervous as **** because:

a) I tend to downplay my skills/second guess myself.
b) While in school I didn't get a kitchen job, only the kitchen class we had (student restaurant. 2 semesters of line)

*shrug* Well, if it works it works...if not, maybe I should contemplate something new?

p.s. I guess I really was just looking to vent a little of the butterflies heh.
