well i work in hospitality as a chef so i too know the pain of working every christmas and new years while everybody else party's on. read "kitchen
confidential by anthony bouraine" and you may get an understanding of life in the culinary underbelly. keep thinking of a career change but the
longer you are in the industry the more you are hooked.
i suppose we had a year off travelling in our kombi so i really shouldn't be whinging.

Yep, have been in retail (or hospitality) since I left school, except for a short period when I was working on aircraft - still in hospitality now,
working 3:00pm to sometime in the early morning. Business is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year (yep, Christmas day and all the other public
holidays too), althought I am usually only there 5 days a week.
On the positive side - if I get up early enough I can spend my days (until 3pm) working on my cars or cruising around here - much easier to get things
done (purchase parts, etc) during the week and not have to stuff it all into the weekend, when only half the places are open.
Hopefully I will be changing jobs soon to a 'normal' 9 to 5 job - Anyone need a graduate software engineer? I can email you my resume if you are
interested....anyone?
