Hi lol I'm back. I finally got a job. It is a shitty ass job and what sucks even harder is that I went to like 6 different places for jobs that all sucked and I got the suckiest of all 6 cuz I suck that hard I guess. I got a job as a dishwasher in a mediocre family restaurant. Where I work is called the dish pit. It is this huge like 12 foot by 12 foot tiles section surrounded by stainless steel shelves, and plastic buns, and a sink. It is up against the wall and the whole wall section is where the dishwasher is. It takes up the whole wall. All the waitresses come in and just dump the shit from people's tables into this plastic bins. I am talking about everything, as it was on the table gets dumped in there... half eaten or spit up food, half empty cups of coffee, you name it, it's there. It is my job to scrape the shit off the plates and then spray off the plate and then put the plate into this plastic tray thingy that goes through the actual dishwasher like it was on a conveyor belt. Once they get through the other end then they sit there in there plastic bin thing for a few minutes to air dry, then I have to remove them and stack all the crap on these other shelves. I mentioned there was a sink right? Well once an hour, the cooks will yell scrub and that means I have to go over and collect this stainless steel bin full of used greasy skillets. They are like these oval shaped cast iron plates that they use to saute shit instead of using the same frying pan over and over. Of course there is also like 15 pairs of metal tongs in there too. So I have to go grab these bin and bring it back to the pit and then fill one basin with boiling hot water and soap and then submerge them in there. Then I have to go back to them like 15 mins later and scrub them and rinse them and then stack them and then bring them back to the cooks. The whole time this is going on, the waitresses are basically dumping massive trays endlessly into the bins. So the pace you have to operate in order to not get backed up is ridiculous. Of course its not too bad during non peak times but my shift is from 4-midnight so it gets busy from 5:30-9pm. The worst part is the spray gun and the food. There is like a hose that comes from above your head and on the end is this heavy duty spray nozzle with a long trigger. When you grab this thing and spray the plate of shitty food etc the water and food sprays everywhere. The bits of food collect in this nasty collector you constantly have to empty into a garbage can. Yeah there is 3 garbage cans with massive black bags in them too. I have to change the bags once and hour and then take them out to the dumpster behind the building. So because you have to move fast, you sweat, because there is hot steam everywhere, you sweat, because the sprayer sprays mists of food everywhere, you are covered in wet sloppy greasy sludge on top of all of this. It is definitely the worst job I have ever had. I just put on my iPod and zone out to the music and pretend I am somewhere else. I think having the sound of splashing water and the clanking of the pots and pans completely drowned out helps to make the time go by faster and make things seem less gross. Some of the waitresses are in their twenties and are hot bust most of them are old and nasty. The only good thing about working there is the free food that we get. We get a free entree of anything we want from the menu on each shift
While I am working, I think of creative things I can on dates to impress girls etc. So far I haven't come up with much because I am working with such a limited budget. I think I need to approach things differently and instead of taking girls on traditional dates that are expensive, do something like take them swimming or take them to the beach and just bring something cheap with me to eat and drink. Of course it's December and it's freezing as hell here in Ohio so you see where I am coming from. Maybe some of you could leave some comments and give me some ideas. I don't have a lot of experience with these things ya know.
