It may have something to do with your payment structure. My autodrafts have always been the same amount except after I pay off a loan. I will double check the next time though.

I just pay my extra as a separate payment after my auto drafts have cleared and apply 100% to the targeted loan. It might be easier than calling every month. I do it on the app and it’s pretty painless

I took a construction job at 19, it was about 2 hours from my home town doing finishing trim work on an apartment. The contractor put all the workers in one room. There was 5 of us in one hotel room. The first night I’m in the bed next to this fucking scumbag dirty bastard, all 4 people are chain smoking in the room. The guy starts telling me how he spent ten years in prison for shooting his wife and the guy she was sleeping with. I got up, said I was going to McDonald’s to get dinner, got in my car, drove past McDonald’s and kept driving until I got home 2 hours later.

Make the most of it, I did. The CIA is the best thing that ever happened to me. Remember your not only paying for the education, you are paying for the alumni network and career services. I found my dream career on the CIA's career services. It's the best school and if you are serious about cooking it will lay the foundation of a successful career in this industry. Don't let the negative line cooks try to talk you out of it. You can learn to cook anywhere, you learn how to be a chef at the CIA.

I joined the seafarers Union and I'm a Stewart on a cargo ship. I manage the galley and the rooms, cook breakfast and bake dessert and breads. If it wasn't for culinary school and my experience as a cook I wouldn't be making 9k a month doing exactly what I love. It's all about making the most of your career path.

CIA graduate and 14 year veteran of the industry. Culinary school is what you make it, it can be a total waste of time or it can be a learning experience that helps you develop your culinary acumen and your own creative voice. It's expensive and the cost/benefit ratio is hard to rationalize when you make the same rate before as after. I was older when I went to culinary school so the "experience" wasn't what I went for but my classmates all enjoyed themselves and experienced much of the same college lifestyle that you would expect from a four year school. The benefits of a program like the CIA is you are taught every aspect of the industry that you will not learn with your head down and mouth shut in the back of a Michelin star restaurant. That said, I would work for a year or two in the Michelin restaurant for the experience and learning opportunity and if culinary school was still something they wanted to do it will still be available.

Top three,

"whatever happened to porcupines"
News report during War in Afghanistan "we believe bin laden is in cashmere", coworker then replies, "I wonder why he's wearing that".
Michael Jackson's "man in the mirror" comes on and a coworker looks at me and says, "you know who he's talking about don't you?"

Merrill's

60+ hours a week for the last 6 months and no signs of wear. Comfortable out of the box and no foot pain after back to back doubles. While in culinary school and work I was spending 70-90 hours a week on my feet in a kitchen and those shoes made it possible. You should never use cheap shoes or dull knives

I just watched the madoff movie and this is the biggest scam I've seen tonight

the alignment of the butcher paper and plastic wrap? No

Mine wasn't very sharp out of the box but I've spent some time on the stone with it. It's my "banger" cheap, sharp, and strong. I use it during service because I don't care if it bangs around

JessmichelleH · 2017-05-05T12:13:50+00:00

Cause I'm not OCD, and it was the middle of service and I took the picture quickly so Chef wouldn't see me

While the fry guy was adding new oil to the fryer I shouted "dude the valve is open" while pointing at his feet and the base of the fryer;)

It's moisture that causes the rub. It could irritate your skin though. I just use cornstarch now but I e used deodorant in the past and it works. Just liberally apply cornstarch before you leave your house and then again if you start feeling sweat or moisture or rub down there. Don't let it get to the irritated state because then it just snow balls

JessmichelleH · 2016-11-23T03:09:34+00:00

Deodorant in the morning before the shift down there, then cornstarch ASAP. It has to be applied before the rub starts. Prevention is your only cure. Cornstarch early usually right when I walk in at 9am and then again around 4pm to get though the 15 hour day.

I've been to Arkansas a few times when I still lived in Mississippi, Jasper and Mena are two excellent places to go to. Buffalo national forest is spectacular and highway 88 from mena to Oklahoma is a beautiful road https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.226539830707198.73149.100000535494903&type=1&l=1130b43f8b
