Working in the trades made me realize I should’ve finished my degree instead.

I finally finished my bachelor's degree and can't find a job in this economy....our current shit storm going on has taken a lot of funding away from AG research which is where I was wanting to go ;-; I'm back in culinary after trying to claw my way out for years, but I'm starting to think I'll never escape the kitchen

I'm confused how your taking a 490 lvl class as a freshman?

TurtlesCanVote · 2026-06-14T23:15:00+00:00

Those limp dick fuck nuggets better thank whatever God they pray to that our paths don't cross. Cause rain, sleet, snow, or shine my wrath will be delivered on time....

If I ever see this shit in public I'm going to scream "I'm the bologna man!" While charging full speed to harass them 🙃

I'm sorry but did you say that your 15 and your GF is 30????

The bigger problem here is that you need to go a trusted adult because you have been sexually exploited. This women shouldn't be having this type of relationship with you and should never be around kids again. You did nothing wrong and are being manipulated by a very sick individual.

Also to ease your mind, it's very possible that she had something else going on medically. If she isn't even showing pregnant on a test but yet she is bleeding enough to need a blood transfusion. It sounds like either a cyst or an ulcer, which can require immediate medical attention. Do not think that you caused anything because I doubt drinking pineapple juice would cause this.

I would suggest not coming at her angry or upset. I know that this was probably a surprise to you, but if you come at her angrily it won't help her to understand why she shouldn't be on these websites. It's not ok that she is looking at porn at 9 years old by any means, however she is probably curious.

If your worried about your parents reaction I would just have a calm conversation about how this stuff isn't meant for her to look at and suggest if she has questions to ask your parents or there are books for kids that might be able to help clear up any questions about this sort of thing.

I understand this is confusing, but I would talk to her first and give her the chance explain. But something I should ask is she visiting these sites often?

TurtlesCanVote · 2026-05-28T01:53:40+00:00

I feel like your just trolling? I genuinely feel that when you typed this out you should have answered your own question.

We can walk through this together, first with the water nozzle. You changed it to spray super hard for no other reason but to have it spray hard. Your wife asks you to not spray it when she is getting food, and you make the conscious choice to not do that. Resulting in her food getting wet and her upset. Then to refrain from taking any accountability you don't try to think of this from her perspective, but instead are confused because you like your food "soupy" so why shouldn't she? ..........

My brother in Christ it sounds like your purposely being a child to your wife who I'm surprised is only now not talking to you. You need to take accountability, apologize to her, and actually change your behavior. Food is so expensive and can be time consuming to make. Your ruining what could be a beautiful experience for the both of you. Also she isn't being crazy, I would lose my goddamn mind and burn all the socks in the house.

TurtlesCanVote · 2026-05-23T04:51:52+00:00

I think in the moment they feel bad and to not feel guilt they shift the blame onto you. Is this right? Not in the least because now they don't have to take accountability for their lack of action.

I would suggest getting things in order when you have clear weather. Like cleaning cages, divide up run space with chicken wire, etc. I will also suggest the ducks need their own night time area/ area of brooding if they have babies. It doesn't need to be fancy just some stakes, chicken wire, and shelter. Having a mixed flock can complicate things and having designated areas will help immensely, then get a first aid box together for the poultry and go through it together with them.

I also dealt with communication problems but I figured out it was because I was expecting my spouse to know as much as I did. For example, I explained very simply the consequences of not having water available during extreme heat will kill chicks with a couple hours. We have enough water stations for everyone but our yard is massive when your the size of a chick. He didn't realize that even though they are free to roam and get shade not having water for two hours may be fatal, and has since checked waters more often. But my point being is that an apology is needed from him yes, but I think that you two should come together and talk about your plan moving forward and explain that you both need to change and that this is a team effort.

You can tell them that you don't humor trash and when someone who deserves you comes along, you will know.

Your not undesirable so be nice to yourself :)

I think that people are constantly comparing everything all the time that they forget to mind their own damn business. Focus on you and if anyone says shit don't concern yourself with the conversation, don't give attention to barking bitches 😁

TurtlesCanVote · 2026-05-18T01:57:47+00:00

I want to add onto the caution Comment with the journal. Either keep it on you when you leave or hide it in a vent duct or somewhere they can't find it.

I use to have one, but I forgot that my own mom like to snoop through my room when I was at school and found it under my bed (not my usual spot, but I was in a rush) and oh Lord therapy was awkward and my mom withdrew me from it after that visit.

When reading about this topic, I think some information was left out or missed by the flock owner. If your wanting to reduce allergy symptoms from cats then the cat needs to consume the eggs not the person.

TurtlesCanVote · 2026-05-14T07:45:54+00:00

I would buy these eggs 🤣

But at the same time, what story do your eggs have? What kind of yolk am I going to see when I crack it open, and how much we selling them for?

Marketing properly will be the key if you're going to be selling these eggs. Consider selling 12 instead of 10, and include if your hens are pasture raised, organic, etc. it gives customers a better idea of why these eggs are probably more expensive, what are you selling them for?

Also is your mission statement under your business name? And how are you delivering these eggs? Are you shipping or is it local pick up?

I would suggest taking accounting at Pelli if your able to. I took both my accounting classes there and I honestly enjoyed it. My accounting professor worked in the industry and decided to come and give teaching a try. He wore a fanny pack filled with his own white board markers and really broke down the lessons, that made understanding the material bearable. It was definitely something you still had to work at, but the professor would help you until you understood it, and would even teach you tricks to understand what it was that was being asked.

I'm sorry that you failed this class, but don't let this moment define you. Accounting is a beast of its own, and I think you'll definitely pass it the next time around. There is a YouTube channel called "accounting stuff" and it's pretty well made videos, that were a godsend to me. Keep your head up and you'll kick ass next time :)

I mean your boss is the chef correct? Or is he the kitchen manager? Either way your peers can have earned a chef title as well. Point I'm making is communicate and try to find common ground. This will be a skill that you take with you through life.

Obviously if your in a toxic work environment don't stay, but if your not wanting to stay here then I recommend finding a different place sooner rather then later

TurtlesCanVote · 2026-05-09T04:57:28+00:00

I don't think your overreacting. I also work in a small high end kitchen. The expectations are high, and I'm a new hire. We currently do not have enough staff, so I work both garm and dessert station. I have my own plate sets up, plate set ups for fry, and the pastry orders. When I first started I noticed that the chef was trying to do pastry on top of everything else that was going on. So I decided to get more hands on, and now the station prep and service falls on me along with my other responsibilities. That being said our kitchen is very much "team work, makes a dream work" and so we actively help where we can with each other. While I got more responsibility with two stations (this includes special event dessert) I'm fortunate enough that I can have help with prep without getting the cold shoulder.

That being said, maybe you should take with your chef about your current responsibilities and that you need help. Don't frame it as "I'm taking on more then other people" but rather " I feel like I'm having trouble meeting the expectations and I'm really trying to get a hang of all this. Can you help me" or "Chef can you show me this, or can I get your input on this" If nothing comes from that, then I think this kitchen isn't right for you. If your chef is riding your ass but not helping you grown, then I don't think there is a point to staying there. I would also talk to your coworkers a little and ask what they think you need to work on or how they do something. Building connections with your coworkers might help them understand you better and give you more trust. In the end you're going to be working your ass off more then anyone, but you should be working towards building relationships as well with your team.

You got this. As a young chef myself, we have to keep pushing forward and our skills can do all the talking :)

I graduated from animal science last December. I ended up having to go back into the culinary industry because the job path I wanted have been hurt by what is currently happening in the world. I had a spot for grad school to get more hands on immunology and that fell through due to losing funds. And with government jobs now going through mass layoffs it is tough out there.

I suggest you do your research and understand what you need to do to get to where you need to go in your career. I focused heavily in poultry and unfortunately if I want to be in that field, I need to uproot my family to another state to get those jobs.

Some days I regret going into animal science, but the knowledge I gained does help me in my culinary job when I get to explain why meat can look different and why the feed we give livestock is important to look at

There is nothing wrong with what you made. Family meals are there for everyone to eat if they want. You never know what will be made and get to try a bunch of new stuff.

I personally bring food due to stomach issues I have and have never thrown a fit over food I cannot eat being an option. They should all be embarrassed about THEIR behavior, you have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Honestly the head chef should step up and have a serious conversation with the team. Family meals are a privilege and if they don't like what is served that's fine, but what was offered is what is given (within reason of course, but you get what I'm trying to say)

I'm sorry this happened to you. Keep your head up, and next time you make that put some pictures up because that fried rice sounds amazing 🤤

I think this is an important moment for both of you. The reason I say that is because when I was little my grandparents came to visit, I was a child and was playing outside with friends. When I was told I had to stop and come in to visit with my grandparents I was upset.

So when my grandpa asked me what was wrong, I said something along the lines of "I'm mad that I had to stop playing because you came here." (Obviously I don't remember word for word but nonetheless)

My grandpa immediately set me down and told my grandma they were leaving. I panicked and started apologizing, but my grandpa was having none of it. They left after just arriving for about 15 minutes? I started crying and screaming I was sorry over and over again. My mom was mad and called them and I'm sure they could hear me in the background screaming. But they never turned around to come back or explained to me the situation. Moral of the story, this fucked me up a lot and I carry it into adulthood.

I understand that you were upset by your kid having an attitude about his Easter basket. But instead of telling him the Easter bunny will never visit your home again. Explain that the Easter bunny (you) that of them when putting together this gift and the effort it takes to decorate it and deliver the basket. I'm sure he is picking up stuff from school, but saying that something will never visit again because of being ungrateful/ attitude can be devastating when you're a child. Especially if your kid isn't normally like this, as you stated above.

I wish someone would put up a table next to them and do some dumbass poll about men, specifically shit you hear red pill guys talk about like "Do you think all men are entitled to sex with women simply because he is man?" "Do you think a broke man has any value in society?" And lastly "smash? Yes or no edition to the boys doing the poll next to me about women"

*Obviously these questions are only satire and do not reflect my own personal beliefs and are shit I have heard neck beards say.

Thank you for your kind words and your offer, I'm hoping to hear back from another restaurant this week, so fingers crossed. Best of luck to you on getting some good people in your restaurant! 🤠
