Cooking cooking and cooking

Yesterday was a day full of work. The church was having its monthly Indian taco sale and me and my grandma were going to help out with it. I wanted to work in the kitchen since that is what i work as at The Longbranch. I started out working the fryer but it turns out they are slow enough that my grandma could work them both at the same time. So my job became to roll out the dough and put it into the fryer when there is room. This lasted for quite a while and the church had one of their best sales ever. Eventually i had to go to work so i ran home washed my face and grabbed my bandanna.
The state soft ball tournement was being held in Pierre yesterday and so we had all 4 cooks on shift for that night in case it got really busy. It was my dad the other senior cook me and the new guy who was hired just this week. Most of the night was really slow to the point where we were thinking about sending some people home since we wern't doing anything, but all of a sudden we were swamped. My guess is that the tournement had just finished but regardless we had so many orders that we had all 4 cooks tusing around working. It wasn't too ad for me because someone assigned me to be the runner who refilled stuff and got stuff that the rest of the cooks needed. Well it got to the point where i was being given jobs to do that didnt really need to be done. I felt so useless and as a new employee i like to be seen always doing work and not standing around especially when we were as swamped as we were. Just like my last job i dont seem to really be needed there.oh well im getting paid but anyways i didnt get out of work until 10:30ish. After that i had trouble sleeping and stayed up late making today feel like a zombie.
