Well-being a prep cook for banquet at a 4-star restaurant is tough, but fun, I enjoy the hard work and enjoy the atmosphere there immensely, at $16/hour for 8-hour days, I COULD earn more money as a trucker, but I truly do enjoy doing this job.
So, it's been rewarding and good for me, on the super busy days like in the summer or on Thanksgiving or not just yesterday and everything is hectic and chaotic, I call those 'Captain Chaos Days' orderly but chaotic, hectic, fast-paced but fun at the same time, is it perfect? no, but I'm having fun doing it.
