I REALLY pissed off the kitchen today!
(For those who don't know, I'm a student at Job Corps, and I study Culinary Arts here, which means I work inna kitchen. Also, black-coats are sous chefs, basically the middle-management, above white-coats and new entries, but below staff and the head chef.)
Today, I suggested to the acting head chef, Al that I we should pull an April Fools stunt on everyone in the kitchen: give me a black coat. Anyone that knows me offline knows that I am NOT sous chef material, and that I'm in fact quite lazy and not inclined to taking any kind of charge of anything. To make this even more ludicrous of a suggestion, I make a point of making sure everyone in the kitchen hates me in order to get staff to help me get through this program faster. Nobody in the kitchen is my friend, and nobody wants to see me suddenly become their boss.
Just prior to lunch, Al and Jack (the official head chef's brother, and the instructor for the Culinary classroom) held a mock meeting with me behind closed doors, making the fiasco appear legit. A few minutes later, I remove my white coat and slip the pitch-black uniform on, and a few other students watched through the window to the office in sheer horror as I became their new boss.
Word was spread about the students before I even left the office, and they were PISSED!! As I returned to the serving lines to make my plate for lunch, I heard a multitude of people saying a multitude of things, some accusing me of a paper-thin April Fools, other threatening to quit Job Corps, and one other individual who was not disclosed to me that kicked a wall! One student that was away on Personal Leave even called Al and flipped the fuck out over the phone!! Ah widespread chaos and panic, what sweet, sweet music to my ears...
Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end, and Jack, with a sheepish laugh, told me that I better get the coat off before he had a riot on his hands. Before long, I was informing people that it was just an Apsil Fools gag, and that I wasn't really their new black-coat. Their relief was so disappointing... At least I got a picture of myself wearing the coat on my BlackBerry! :D
