I’m not presently working but I trained, and worked as, a software developer. I struggle a lot with work and my working life has been very chaotic due to shit mental health. It seems like a really stupid idea, as being a chef is meant to be really stressful. However, the idea of it being fast-paced, immediate, physical, intense, sensory seems really really appealing to me.

I’m sorry if this isn’t a lot of information to go on. I’m trying to reduce details, partly for privacy’s sake, partly because if I don’t wind myself-in this could be a novel long.

    my time working in the restaurant industry was the worst employment experience I’ve ever had in my life. The expectations are shit, the pay is shit, the benefits are shit, the hours are shit

    But some people seem to love it despite all that so
