"Minimum wage mentality"

Tim, maybe you're "Overqualified".
Just saying.

Speaking of minimum wage...So I've kinda half-assed tossed out a few hundred resumes in the past year or so (What can I say, this retirement gig can get a little boring at times)...ANYWAY, out of all these resumes I received one face to face interview, one phone interview, and three "kiss my ass" emails. So here a month or so ago I noticed MAC-Donalds was going to hire a boat load of people, so I thought OK, lets see just howwwwwww bad it reeeeeeally is...and I tossed 'em a resume (note: I had NO intention of actually working at Mickey D's...this was purely an exploratory mission). So thanks to that little experiment, I now find myself in the uncomfortable position of deciding which is worse...telling my friends I applied at McDonalds....or telling my friends I applied and McDonalds and the told me to kiss their ass. .....

Back to retirement

I heard that Doc Crow's could use someone to cook their ribs. You might want to check it out.

Only if it's a "day" job...M thru F. 25 years of "shift work" made me swear to never-evvvvvver go that way again.

Of course you'd have to figure out how to make them "fall off the bone" all the time!

You are right there Sean, and I am deciding to go with the fiance's advice and remember," it is just a job". I like what I am doing though and that makes a difference. It is way above this other persons skill level, and mgmt seems to be responding accordingly. I am doing high volume "hot prep", PM, (was only trained in AM, so I was pretty free to do it however I "thought it should be done") part saucier, (5 gals mornay) and part "banquet chef type stuff", (3 pans mac n cheese). House recipes unfortunately. But I don't have the stress of "working the line". I do have to keep them stocked though which keeps me jumping. I have utilized some under-used equipment and come up with a really good system that none of the previous "hot preps" had discovered. Feather in my cap. I think they like my solution to their "problems that they had". I hope they will do more than 'pat me on the back'.
