I stumbled across this post probably about midway between good and butterfly. Like. I came across this right before Monday's therapy session and had to words to tell my therapist what was going on in my head. I'd been making slow progress, but in literally the last week something happened happened to help me turn a corner. There's still work to get out and keep going, but there's a glimmer of light.
Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

Stylish Ideas for a Rectangle Patio Fire Pit Table
Tumblr media
Installing a fire pit makes creating a cozy and welcoming outdoor area more accessible. Getting the correct fire pit is crucial to prolong the patio season or have a relaxing evening beneath the stars. There are many styles and designs, each with the advantage of meeting specific requirements. This article explores four popular options: the gas fire pit with wind guard, the rectangle patio fire pit table, the gas fire pit column, and the fire pit with moon and stars design. Understanding the features and advantages of each will help you make the best choice for your outdoor living area.
Gas Fire Pit with Wind Guard
A gas fire pit with a wind guard is an excellent option for anyone living in a windy area or looking to maintain a steady flame during outdoor gatherings. The wind guard, typically made of tempered glass or durable metal, surrounds the flame, protecting it from wind gusts. This ensures that the fire remains steady and adds a layer of safety, preventing sparks from escaping.
Benefits of a Gas Fire Pit with Wind Guard
Consistent Flame: The wind guard helps keep the flame steady, even in breezy conditions, allowing you to enjoy a warm and cozy fire without interruptions.
Enhanced Safety: By containing the flame, the wind guard minimizes the risk of accidents, making it safer for use around children and pets.
Improved Efficiency: With the flame protected from the wind, the fire pit burns more efficiently, conserving fuel and providing better heat distribution.
Aesthetic Appeal: The wind guard's clear glass or sleek metal offers an unobstructed view of the fire, adding a stylish element to your outdoor decor.
A gas fire pit with a wind guard is ideal for those who want a reliable, attractive fire feature that can withstand various weather conditions.
Rectangle Patio Fire Pit Table
The rectangle patio fire pit table is a versatile and practical choice for those who love entertaining. This type of fire pit serves a dual purpose: it provides warmth and ambiance while also functioning as a table where guests can place drinks and snacks or cook small meals. Its rectangular shape makes it perfect for more extensive patios or decks, where it can serve as a central gathering spot.
Why Choose a Rectangle Patio Fire Pit Table?
Multi-Functional Design: The combination of a table and fire pit makes this an efficient use of space, especially in outdoor areas where every inch counts.
Stylish and Modern: The rectangular shape adds a contemporary touch to your outdoor setting, complementing various styles of furniture and decor.
Ideal for Socializing: With its extended surface area, the rectangle table allows for more seating around the fire, making it perfect for gatherings with family and friends.
Tumblr media
Gas-Powered Convenience: Many rectangle patio fire pit tables are gas-powered, offering clean and hassle-free operation without needing wood or ashes.
A rectangle patio fire pit table is the perfect choice for those who want to create a cozy and functional outdoor living space. It combines the warmth of a fire with the utility of a table.
Gas Fire Pit Column
Consider a gas fire pit column for a unique and elegant addition to your outdoor space. These tall, slender fire pits add a vertical element to your patio or garden, making them a striking focal point. The gas-powered flame is easy to ignite and control, providing instant warmth and ambiance with minimal effort.
Advantages of a Gas Fire Pit Column
Space-Saving: The column's vertical shape takes up less floor area, making it ideal for balconies, smaller patios, or garden nooks.
Sleek and Modern: The clean lines and contemporary style of a gas fire pit column add sophistication to any outdoor setting, enhancing your decor.
Portable and Versatile: Many gas fire pit columns are lightweight and easy to move, allowing you to reposition them to suit your outdoor layout.
Easy Operation: Gas fire pits are known for their convenience. They offer quick ignition and adjustable flames without the mess of traditional fire pits.
A gas fire pit column is perfect for those who want to add a stylish and functional element to their outdoor space without taking up too much room.
Fire Pit with Moon and Stars Design
If you want to add a whimsical touch to your backyard, a fire pit with moon and stars design might be just what you need. Moon and star formations etched into these fire pits let the firelight show through, making stunning patterns of light and shadow. This design enhances the overall beauty and also sets the mood for a mystical night under the stars or a peaceful evening spent outside.
Reasons to Choose a Fire Pit with Moon and Stars
Unique Decorative Element: This fire pit will be the talk of the town thanks to its whimsical moon and star cutouts, which will liven up any outdoor setting.
Cozy Ambiance: The patterns created by the cut-outs cast soft, enchanting shadows, enhancing the mood and making your outdoor space feel more intimate.
Versatile Design: Available in various sizes and materials, a fire pit with moon and stars can complement different outdoor themes, from rustic to contemporary.
Durable Construction: Many fire pits are constructed of steel or cast iron, guaranteeing their durability and the joy they will bring for years.
Anyone seeking to add a bit of enchantment to their outdoor space should consider a fire pit with moon and stars.
Conclusion
Choosing the right fire pit can enhance your outdoor living experience, providing warmth, ambiance, and a focal point for gatherings. Whether you prefer the practicality of a gas fire pit with wind guard, the versatility of a rectangle patio fire pit table, the sleek design of a gas fire pit column, or the enchanting appeal of a fire pit with a moon and stars design, each option offers unique benefits to suit different tastes and needs. Choosing the right fire pit to make your outdoor area more welcoming and comfortable depends on considering your needs and tastes.

it was too much i had to make my own post
Tumblr media
line cook here. ACCURATE
if you don't get the hate, here's what you don't understand.
it takes up to 2 hours to close down the kitchen.
The last 60-90 minutes before closing time you do almost no cooking because the restaurant doesn't have many people in it and you've already cooked most of their diners.
So if someone walks in during, like, the last hour, the cook is in the middle of an industrial deep clean of the kitchen.
(these numbers can vary quite a bit from place to place but i have worked several restaurants with these actual times and the concept remains the same)
Say the place closes at 10. If you wait til the restaurant is already closed to start all your cleaning duties, you'll be there until at least midnight.
More than that your boss knows that on an average night you can start your clean up as soon as the last rush ends and get out of there around 10:45, even 10:15 on a slow night if you get lucky. That means there are plenty of restaurants where if you do take until midnight the manager is going to come up to you at some point that week and ask you what went wrong that night, and you'd better have an answer.
So this example restaurant closes at 10 pm. The dinner rush ends around 8:30, and shortly after that the cook is going to start getting every single dish possible over to the dishwasher because the dishwasher always gets hit hard and late, and the machine runs for 2 full minutes and only holds so many dishes, so the way that works out is if you wait an extra 30 minutes to give the dishwasher all your stuff it can mean adding like 60 minutes to the end of his shift. And you're gonna KEEP finding shit to send to the dishpit right up until you leave probably.
all these little square and rectangle containers in this cold table have to be pulled out and changed over into new containers, replaced by new full ones, or in some cases filled from larger containers in the back, which can result in even more empty containers to send to the dishwasher.
Tumblr media
while it's all pulled apart to do this, you have to clean up all the spilled food and sauce and juices and stuff from the joints and ledges and shelves and drip trays
Once you get your line changed over in this way, and fully stocked, anytime someone orders something that makes use of a bunch of that stuff, you have to restock and re-clean it some. It might already be covered in plastic. Some of it might already be stuck in the back to make room to take apart your cutting board counter to clean. To cook a dish isn't TOO much of a problem at this point, but you're really hoping for zero orders because you still have so much other cleaning to do.
Meanwhile the salad bar and appetizer section and server station and everybody are all doing the same thing. Even the bartenders are stocking olives and lemons and sending back whisks and stir spoons and shakers and empty 4quart storage containers that used to hold the back-up lemons and olives and things. Every section is dumping their must-be-cleaneds to the dishpit as fast as possible because early and fast is the only thing they can do to to help that dishpit not absolutely drown into overtime.
The poor dishwasher is always the last to clock out, soaking wet and exhausted.
Around this time you probably scrub the flat top, which has turned black from cooked on grease and is still about 500 degrees. Line cooks are divided in opinion on water-based or oil based cleaning methods for this, but they all involve scrubbing with (usually) a brick of pumice stone using every ounce of your strength while you try not to burn yourself
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you scrub it from fully blackened to gleaming silver and now if somebody orders something that needs the flat top to cook, you can either fuck up your cleaning job or fake it in a couple frying pans and pass that tiny fuck you down to your dishwasher (who usually understands, especially if you help them take the garbage out or clean your own floor drain later)
If there's deep fried stuff on the menu then the fryers have to be cleaned out, which includes straining the oil out into enormous and super-heavy pots full of oil so hot that if you spill on yourself then it's probably a hospital visit and if you slip and fall face first into it it'll be the last thing you ever do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then you gotta scrub out the fryer. Like you gotta take the (hot) screen out and reach your arm down into the weird rounded pipes and curved areas (so hot, burn you if you brush against them hot) and scrub off whatever is down there
Tumblr media
Depending on your kitchen you might have to do up to four of these. Then you'll have to pour the (dangerously hot) oil back in
oh, and if you didn't dry the pipes and get ALL the water out of the trap and tank?
water reacts with hot oil in a sort of mentos and coke way that can send a tidal wave of oil past the open flame of the pilot light ...HUGE dangerous mess and/or burn down the kitchen if the oil lights up.
Tumblr media
Unless! If the oil has been used too hard and needs to be changed, it's time to carry those open topped super heavy pots full of will-kill-you-hot oil and dump them in the barrel outside by the dumpsters so you can put room temp fresh oil in the fryers. whew!
The clean up is not just some light wiping down that can be easily interrupted, is what i'm saying.
You might have to do some kind of walk-in duty (moving around 50lb cases of lettuce and 50lb bags of onions to get to the stacks of five gallon buckets full of salad dressings and sauces to move so you can reach the giant metal pots and bus tubs full of prep and get it all organized and make sure it's all labeled and i have to stop now i'm having flashbacks)
THE POINT IS
by 15 or however many minutes to close, the line cook is doing an intense deep clean and probably has the whole stove taken apart to detail.
For some industrial stoves this means lifting off large cast iron plates that weigh like 20 lbs each and are still quite hot. Whatever metal burners are on there, you gotta take off and clean, you can see here the lines that indicate the large thick cast iron rectangles that sit on top of the burners to allow heavy pots to rest on. Those five (each has one front burner hole and one back burner hole, see?) have to be lifted off and cleaned with soap and a wire brush usually, and then the underneath area also has to be cleaned because a lot of shit falls through the burner holes on a busy night.
Tumblr media
if you didn't do it when you did the flat top you have to do the grease trap (which can be like a full five minutes and is always disgusting).. You gotta clean out all the little gas jets in each burner with a wire or something so the burners all flame evenly, and sometimes you have to remove some of the natural gas piping that connects the burners to access where you have to clean.
you gotta clean out the bottom of the oven and the wire racks, and, oh gods, you gotta take down the filter vents from the hood fans above the stove.
See all the lined parts along the top of the wall?
Tumblr media
those are hood vents, and as they pull air up they also pull a lot of grease and they have to be taken down and cleaned, then you gotta climb up there and scrub where they go before you put them back...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then there's the mopping and floor drains and...
Anyway, that's what the line cook is doing when you walk in fifteen minutes before closing and order something that needs to be cooked on that stove. They are doing an entire industrial cleaning of a professional kitchen.
In some restaurants maybe one or two of these jobs will be every other night or even only twice a week, but in many, possibly most kitchens, ALL of these things happen EVERY night. You don't want to leave any food mess that might attract insects or rodents for one thing, so a really good kitchen is as close to brand new as you can get it every night.
IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO ORDER SOMETHING ANYWAY, HERE IS WHAT TO DO
open with an apology and ask the server to go ask what the cook would prefer you to order.
Any good server will already know what the cook is hoping for and what will make their line cook go into the walk in and scream. If it's significantly less than an hour to close and they say some variant of "oh anything is fine" they are either telling the lie their boss wants them to say, or they actually do not know what their line cook wants, and you can either use human connection and a conspiratorial just-between-us tone to get them to drop the customer-is-always-right act, or get them to actually go ask the cook.
It might be as specific as "the lasagna is easiest on the kitchen" or it might be a simple guideline like "nothing that requires the flat top" or "any of the sautés are easy" but a good line cook will probably have a system for if they have to make a couple of the most popular items after they start their close, so the answer is likely to include something most people like and you should be good to order that.
but for the love of all that's holy, please only do so at great need. Leave that last 30-60 minutes to the truly desperate and the crew's duties.

Why a Rectangle Fire Table is Perfect for Entertaining
Tumblr media
Anyone enjoying entertaining or just lounging beneath the stars must create a warm and attractive outside area. Including a bar-height fire pit table can help you improve your patio or backyard most effectively. Apart from providing warmth and comfort, this diverse piece of furniture is the central point for events. Your outdoor space can become a friendly haven with essential tools like a rectangle fire table and fire pokes. In this post, we shall discuss the advantages of these products and how they might improve your outdoor life.
The Appeal of a Bar Height Fire Pit Table
Perfect for Social Gatherings
A bar-height fire pit table is designed with entertaining in mind. The elevated height encourages guests to gather around, whether standing or sitting on bar stools. This setup creates an intimate atmosphere where conversations flow easily. Unlike traditional low fire pits, a bar-height table ensures that everyone has a clear view of the flames, enhancing the overall experience.
Multifunctional Design
One of the key advantages of a bar-height fire pit table is its multifunctional design. It is a heat source and a convenient surface for food and drinks. This dual-purpose functionality makes it an excellent addition to any outdoor space, especially those with limited room. The height of the table also makes it easier to serve snacks and beverages without additional side tables.
Stylish Addition to Your Outdoor Space
Tumblr media
A bar-height fire pit table is not only functional but also adds a touch of style to your outdoor decor. Available in various materials such as metal, stone, and wood, these tables can complement any design aesthetic. Whether you prefer a rustic, modern, or traditional look, there’s a bar-height fire pit table that will seamlessly blend with your outdoor furniture.
The Essential Role of Fire Pokers
Why You Need Fire Pokers
Fire pokers are indispensable tools when managing an outdoor fire. These long, sturdy implements allow you to safely move and adjust logs, ensuring your fire burns evenly and efficiently. Maintaining a well-structured fire can be difficult without a fire poker, leading to uneven burning or dangerous situations.
Choosing the Right Fire Poker
Not all fire pokers are created equal. When selecting one, consider the material, length, and grip. A high-quality fire poker is typically made from durable materials like steel, which can withstand high temperatures without bending or warping. The size is also essential; a more extended fire poker keeps you safe from the flames, reducing the risk of burns. Additionally, the grip should be comfortable, allowing you to easily maneuver the logs.
Enhancing Safety with Fire Pokers
Safety is a top priority when dealing with open flames, and fire pokers are designed to help you manage the fire safely. Using a fire poker, you can control the intensity of the flames, ensuring that they don’t get too high or spread beyond the fire pit. This tool is handy when the fire needs to be adjusted or stoked without putting yourself at risk.
Rectangle Fire Table: A Perfect Fit for Your Space
Advantages of a Rectangle Fire Table
A rectangular fire table offers several benefits, making it a popular choice for outdoor heating and dining. The elongated shape provides ample seating space, making it ideal for larger gatherings. Unlike round or square fire tables, a rectangular design allows more guests to sit comfortably around the fire, ensuring everyone can enjoy the warmth.
Versatility and Style
With so many designs and materials for the rectangle fire table, you can pick one that fits your outdoor décor. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern design or a more traditional look, a rectangle fire table matches your taste. Some models even include additional features like built-in storage, adjustable flame settings, or a tabletop cover, making them even more versatile.
Functionality Meets Aesthetics
In addition to its practical uses, a rectangle fire table is a stunning centerpiece for your outdoor space. Its large surface area is perfect for serving meals, drinks, or snacks, making it a multifunctional piece of furniture. Its elongated shape also allows for better heat distribution, ensuring that everyone around the table stays warm and comfortable.
Conclusion
Turning your outside space into a friendly and helpful location is simpler than you think. Including a bar-height fire pit table, fire pokes, and a rectangle fire table in your patio or backyard can help you design a place ideal for dining, lounging, and outdoor enjoyment. These components improve the general utility of your outdoor space and provide warmth and flair. Whether hosting a lively gathering or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, the right furniture and tools make all the difference. A bar-height fire pit table serves as a focal point, encouraging social interaction, while fire pokers ensure your fire is managed safely and efficiently. Meanwhile, a rectangle fire table offers ample seating and versatility, making it an excellent choice for any outdoor setting.

The Timeless Elegance of French Parquetry Dining Tables
Tumblr media
When it comes to home décor, the dining table often serves as the centrepiece of social gatherings, family dinners, and holiday celebrations. French parquetry dining tables are a timeless combination of elegance, workmanship, and beauty, and they are available in a wide variety of forms. Let's explore what makes these tables unique and why they can be the ideal accent piece for your house.
A Glimpse into History
Derived from the French word "parqueterie," French parquetry is a term used to describe a geometric mosaic of wood pieces used for decorative purposes. This elaborate art genre was made popular during Louis XIV's reign in the 17th century. The technique was first applied to flooring in palaces and large estates, and it quickly made its way into furniture design, producing pieces that were both visually pleasing and useful.
The Craftsmanship
A high degree of skill and attention to detail is required in the tedious process of creating a dining table with French parquetry. Artists choose various wood species with great care, frequently utilising walnut, oak, and cherry to produce designs with contrast. Following careful cutting, these woods are assembled like a puzzle to create elaborate geometric patterns like chevrons and herringbones.
The process involves several stages:
Selection of Wood: Choosing high-quality, contrasting woods to enhance the visual appeal.
Cutting and Shaping: Cutting the wood into precise, interlocking pieces.
Assembly: Meticulously fitting the pieces together to form a seamless design.
Finishing: Sanding, staining, and varnishing the table to protect the wood and enhance its natural beauty.
Unique Patterns and Designs
The range of patterns and motifs seen in French parquetry dining tables is one of their most alluring features. Because each table is handmade, it displays the artist's imagination as well as the organic beauty of the wood. 
Common patterns include:
Herringbone: A classic design where rectangular pieces are laid out in a zigzag pattern.
Chevron: Similar to herringbone but with the ends of the wood pieces cut at an angle to create a continuous zigzag pattern.
Versailles: Named after the famous palace, this pattern features squares and rectangles arranged in a complex, symmetrical design.
These patterns not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the table but also add a sense of depth and texture to the dining space.
Integrating French Parquetry into Modern Homes
Despite their historical origins, French parquetry dining tables are incredibly versatile and can complement a wide range of interior styles, from traditional to contemporary. Here are a few tips on how to incorporate a parquetry table into your home:
Traditional Elegance: Pair your parquetry table with antique chairs and classic tableware to create a sophisticated, timeless dining room.
Modern Contrast: Use the intricate design of the parquetry table as a focal point in a minimalist room with sleek, modern furniture and neutral colours.
Rustic Charm: Combine the table with rustic elements like wrought iron chairs, natural textiles, and vintage accessories for a cozy, farmhouse feel.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure your French parquetry dining table remains a beautiful centrepiece for years to come, proper care and maintenance are essential. Here are some tips:
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the wood. Position your table away from direct sunlight or use curtains to filter the light.
Regular Cleaning: Dust the table regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth followed by a dry one to prevent moisture damage.
Use Coasters and Mats: Protect the table from scratches and spills by using coasters, placemats, and tablecloths during meals.
Polish Periodically: Use a high-quality furniture polish to maintain the shine and protect the wood. Avoid silicone-based polishes, as they can damage the finish over time.
Conclusion
A dining table with French parquetry is a work of art that symbolises centuries of tradition, workmanship, and beauty. It is more than just a piece of furniture. A parquetry table offers a special fusion of beauty and usefulness, whether you want to upgrade a conventional dining room or add a touch of refinement to a modern area. Purchasing such a table not only enhances the look of your home but also makes it a magnificent focal point for special events and get-togethers.

the older I get, the more the technological changes I've lived through as a millennial feel bizarre to me. we had computers in my primary school classroom; I first learned to type on a typewriter. I had a cellphone as a teenager, but still needed a physical train timetable. my parents listened to LP records when I was growing up; meanwhile, my childhood cassette tape collection became a CD collection, until I started downloading mp3s on kazaa over our 56k modem internet connection to play in winamp on my desktop computer, and now my laptop doesn't even have a disc tray. I used to save my word documents on floppy discs. I grew up using the rotary phone at my grandparents' house and our wall-connected landline; my mother's first cellphone was so big, we called it The Brick. I once took my desktop computer - monitor, tower and all - on the train to attend a LAN party at a friend's house where we had to connect to the internet with physical cables to play together, and where one friend's massive CRT monitor wouldn't fit on any available table. as kids, we used to make concertina caterpillars in class with the punctured and perforated paper strips that were left over whenever anything was printed on the room's dot matrix printer, which was outdated by the time I was in high school. VHS tapes became DVDs, and you could still rent both at the local video store when I was first married, but those shops all died out within the next six years. my facebook account predates the iphone camera - I used to carry around a separate digital camera and manually upload photos to the computer in order to post them; there are rolls of undeveloped film from my childhood still in envelopes from the chemist's in my childhood photo albums. I have a photo album from my wedding, but no physical albums of my child; by then, we were all posting online, and now that's a decade's worth of pictures I'd have to sort through manually in order to create one. there are video games I tell my son about but can't ever show him because the consoles they used to run on are all obsolete and the games were never remastered for the new ones that don't have the requisite backwards compatibility. I used to have a walkman for car trips as a kid; then I had a discman and a plastic hardshell case of CDs to carry around as a teenager; later, a friend gave my husband and I engraved matching ipods as a wedding present, and we used them both until they stopped working; now they're obsolete. today I texted my mother, who was born in 1950, a tiktok upload of an instructional video for girls from 1956 on how to look after their hair and nails and fold their clothes. my father was born four years after the invention of colour televison; he worked in radio and print journalism, and in the years before his health declined, even though he logically understood that newspapers existed online, he would clip out articles from the physical paper, put them in an envelope and mail them to me overseas if he wanted me to read them. and now I hold the world in a glass-faced rectangle, and I have access to everything and ownership of nothing, and everything I write online can potentially be wiped out at the drop of a hat by the ego of an idiot manchild billionaire. as a child, I wore a watch, but like most of my generation, I stopped when cellphones started telling us the time and they became redundant. now, my son wears a smartwatch so we can call him home from playing in the neighbourhood park, and there's a tanline on his wrist ike the one I haven't had since the age of fifteen. and I wonder: what will 2030 look like?
