Even before I transitioned into the food service industry, I was working on my feet for 8 to 10 hours a day, usually six days a week.
However, I don’t miss working for a landscaping company and being out in 90 degree heat all day long.
The kitchen gets fairly hot at times, but at least I get relief when I enter the walk-in freezers. The walk-in freezers are lower than 30 degrees inside, making them the perfect place to cool off after standing over a hot steam table or fry pan. Regardless of how tough the kitchen can get at times, I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I feel like I’m in my element when I’m working in the kitchen at my job. It’s nice seeing the result of my hardwork in the dish that I hand to the servers to take to whatever customer I’m feeding at that given moment. There’s nothing more satisfying than having the server return to the kitchen with a glowing compliment from the customer who loved their food and is eager to return another night in the near future. After I’m done with my shift, I get excited to head home and relax with my cannabis vaporizer. I have a great vaporizer for cannabis flower products and it’s extremely satisfying in its ability to release the precious terpenes in the raw cannabis flower products that I put inside it to inhale. I would much rather consume cannabis without smoking it as I don’t think that’s good for one’s lungs in the long run. You can also buy cannabis edibles or even cannabis topicals like creams, balms, and salves.
