RE: At Work With Brave-Smoke

Hey VC

Unsure how the degreaser smells, will ask for you when i'm back at work. All i know is it's very slick and slippery. I often collect orange and lime peels to make my own house hold cleaners. Really really good usage for it.

What you see is what you get, i bring the energy with me everywhere i go. It comes from my 18 years as a magician. I just can't help it.

I'm small enough to fit through cracks and crevaces; quick enough to adapt and respond to the ever demanding needs of a kitchen; agile enough to weave my way around the busy two floor restaurant (TELL THE KIDS TO SIT DOWN FFS PUUUHPLEASE!!!!); alert enough to be the last line of defence in keeping the restaurant clean and without hazards, whilst maintaining internal time-keeping checklists so the restaurant is topped up with enough plates, lasagne dishes, utensils, glasses; not to mention hourly toilet checks.

I've done enough Kitchen Portering now, and i have handed in my notice. I will start my new part time job at a Gym and Spa Leisure Center soon!!!

PS - this colleague of mine in the photo is from Ukraine. He is one of the chefs there at the Pizza Express. Just came back from having lunch with him in Chinatown. We always have great talks because he had never met a Chinaman who's lived in Ukraine before and i have never had the pleasure of someone speaking to someone who hates Putin "puttin it in". I'm trying to get him and his wife to start something on hive...mayhaps i will introduce him to @baluvana-galia and @zirochka
