The irony of that is after I threw it I screamed “You have one fucking job! BE a dvd player!”

Had a dvd player that would skip all the time even if it was a brand new dvd. Got pissed off and threw it at the wall. Girlfriend plugged it back in a couple hours later and it never skipped again.

Have you never heard of an accent before?

There’s a couple for me.

Prioritization of tasks. The flaming pot is more important than the smoking oven.

The ability to move through a dense group of people without disrupting anyone.

Sense of urgency. You need to move with intention and do it quickly.

Injury assessment. You’re not going home because you got 1st degree burns. Grit your teeth and push through. If you cut yourself it’s a different story but unless your skin is sloughing off your fine.

I’m a lifelong cook. Been working in kitchens since I was 15 and I’m currently training to be the sous chef at my current location.

People shit on food service workers but the amount of practical real life skills I’ve acquired over the years has actually come in handy quite a few times.

The fact that there is no discernable difference between an alive body or a dead body when it comes to chemical makeup.

All the pieces are there. All the atoms and molecules are still in the same places. Yet despite this the body is still dead.

“How do I bury my head in the sand and act like none of this is real?”

This is what everyone who says shit like this sounds like. I get that it’s not your country but the fact remains that it’s still going to effect you as well.
