After reading Anthony Bourdain's famous book, watching a few documentaries, and now reading your story, I can't but wonder why some people are so crazy to work in a kitchen.

Then again, being a line chef is not the only dream-job-turned-into-nightmare. In Japan, for instance, many people dream of becoming manga artists. Then if you are good enough you get the job and spend the rest of your life slaving at the desk, trying to beat the weekly deadlines, never able to take a break or going on vacation.

Not heard of boba tea but since it's coming from a tea-obsessive, I am going to search for it and try it. Sounds exactly like...er...my cup of tea. (Sorry.)

Also, how did you prise my brain open and distill my (weary) feelings about men and describe it so eloquently?

How?
