Head cook: Chicken Cordon Bleu
Me: Wow, we're getting pretty fancy!
Head cook: Not when you see it...
Despite her modesty, it didn't look all bad and was actually quite tasty. But no, we're not cooking at The Broadmoor. And we know it. We're middle school lunch ladies.
Most of the people I work with are moms who gave up careers to raise their kids, then fell into lunch ladyness because of the perfect schedule. There are a few ex-teachers, ex-managers, ex-business and financial types, and yes, even some cooks. Lots of volunteer moms. Plus, it's a good way to get some operations experience on the dusty resume'.
We've all heard Adam Sandler's "Lunch Lady Land", and a couple of weeks ago, the special was actually sloppy joes. We found we couldn't just say, "sloppy joes". It always came out in song
SLOPPY JOE, SLOPPY SLOPPY JOE...
What's the special today?
SLOPPY JOE, SLOPPY SLOPPY JOE...
We're all out of ketchup? Why?
SLOPPY JOE, SLOPPY SLOPPY JOE...
What's that spill near the cash register?
SLOPPY JOE, SLOPPY SLOPPY JOE...
and so on.
I recently read an article about job title makeovers. In it "Lunch Lady" was instead "Education Center Nourishment Consultant".
Here are some others:
- Five a Day Collection Operative – Fruit Picker
- Media Distribution Officer – Paper Boy
- Petroleum Transfer Engineer – Gas Station Attendant
- Transparency Enhancement Facilitator – Window Cleaner
- Front Line Customer Support Facilitator – Call Center Worker
What's your specialty?
