Day 25 & 26

Monday, the start of the working week, and training for the new job, felt like a beginner all over again, one of the staff l am working with has real attitude, l am wanting to pick an argument but can not be bothered, l will be here for 10 days only, the kitchen is hot and no aircon, not impressed, made fish stock and cleaned the fish bones to remove all the fins and blood from the back bones of the fish,my fingers stunk of fish all afternoon,even wearing gloves the fish smell still got to my fingers.
I was so annoyed that when l came home was determined to get the work out over and done with.

Dinner was my monthly Food and Beverage dinner group, a group of chefs, hoteliers, wine distributors we get together and talk about whats going on in the industry and a great chance to network. WIll not mentioned what l had for dinner but it was all good.

Tuesday, another hot one, tokyo is humid and a taste of what is coming in the upcoming months, the kitchen was hot as hell, l am sure l lost about 1kg in sweat, took my lunch to work and the chef with attiutde was making fun of my meal, l tried explaining what l was doing but it did

not sink in.

"free range BBQ chook " chicken" from last week down at the beach"

It was raining in the afternoon, opted to go to gym as it would be quiet to do the work out, the air con was not on, due to power savings, managed to do the jump rope 1200 around 12 minutes was determined to so how long they would take, as for the pulls up, managed one set badly and did the rest as incline pull up, saw another man at gym attempting the pull up and he managed only 1 so l didnot feel so bad.Patrick l need to work on this, as there is no room in my house for the pull up bar!

All in all am glad the work out is over and now its back to work for a few hours in the hot kitchen, ( sweat some more, moments like this a cold beer sound good, will not touch it until day 91,) will attempt to do some jump ropes before l go to bed.

Hope alls well with every one.

  1. I bet the chef with the attitude won't be making fun of you when day 90 rolls around! You wait...the naysayers come around once day 90 rolls around and they see your results!

  2. Hear, hear! You do your own thing!

    I got chatting to a chef who works in Tokyo and he said that chefs have low salt tolerance because they are always tasting and adjusting the levels of salt in food. Here's another way you might be way better off than your colleagues.
