I used to work in a kitchen with all men and they were all of the mind that a woman should only be in a kitchen at home, and didn't belong in a "real" restaurant. Hence the whole gettin' pushed whilst fiddlin' with the fryer. Hadta learn to act like my balls were bigger than theirs.... which resulted in me learnin' how to throw a chef's knife and have it land usually within two inches of their hand. :was scary dragon lady in the kitchen after the fryer incident: Ugh I schnortle every time I hear some girl go "OH but they made me work four twelve hour shifts and I get paid three dollars less than the other guys per hour! :whine:" S'like "Bitchez, please. I didn't get paid for more than 30-41 of the 80-100 hours I generally worked, and I got paid less than half than most of the dudes. Pft." (and yeah, I know that isn't legal, but that's how it was 10yrs ago when I got in. Y'want a job in the kitchen and y'got tits? Oh you get pennies and you work like a slave. Who cares if y'have a life?) The tea-tree oil trick always made me too miserable to work through the burns, so I always stick to honey...
