"So you had a bad day.."

I had a bad day. I'm taking one down. I sing a sad song just to turn it around.
You know those days where you couldn't do one thing right if you tried?
I had one of those days yesterday. School was awesome, it was raining, I got a grad partner and well it was just a loving life in 2011 kind of day. Then came work.
I got to the kitchen and life was good, all was well. My first assignment, chive cutting. That's where my problems began.
I honestly tried my very hardest to make them as small as possible but I was shown how to do it THREE times because I wasn't doing too hot. I positioned my fingers wrong, i didn't use the whole knife, they chives were too big. Ugh. Anyway, on to the others.
As I moved on to do different jobs I dropped at least 10 things that shift, at least. It's like I had butter on my hands or something. Maybe I repel dishes? But then in dish pit I really screwed up. I didn't put some things where they were supposed too, I mixed up some pots and had to reorganize them and keep in mind I'm dropping everything in sight. Then I get my footprints on the freshly mopped floor. Yeah. So good right? My hair wasn't even how it was supposed to be! I put it in a side pony but I had to have it in a bun. Boy oh boy was I having the time of my life.
To top this whole evening off you have to envision a steaming hot kitchen to work in, with people running about and pressure to get the meal done ASAP and me, messing up everything I do, causing total embarrassment in front of the staff.
As you can imagine, it wasn't an ideal ending to my day. But lo and behold today is a new day. A beautiful new day.
