Anyone else used to have the ticket machine nightmares? Being in the weeds? And they went away along with remembering any other dreams?
But you still have and remember dreams?I came into pro cooking late in life - was in my fifties. When I was new enough to be an idealist I would hear the ticket machine and think - Kewl! The restaurant's making money, I'm making money, another chance to excel! LOVE that sound. Well that lasted maybe a week.
It quickly went to annoying, to exasperating, to tormenting. It's an audio plague. I moved from restaurants to catering to feeding old folks in part to get away from that machine. I can hear it when I'm dining in a restaurant and will want to leave. I can hear it in my sleep. I can imagine hell being eternity on the line with 6 feet of tickets in front of me. As I type I hear it singing it's loathsome sound.
Let's never speak of this again.

Do you dream about it?I sometimes hear it going off in my head while taking a sh!t
Nice. I just started catering. Maybe one day I'll be able to have dreams again. Or able to remember them.We moved to touch screens this year, so no more printers.
As far as dreaming, I am a very light sleeper and have very lucid dreams that I am aware of, and can control.
The hood vents!As someone with terrible hearing, my nightmare was walking back to the station during quiet times and finding a ticket in the machine. There's always a mild panic that it has been sitting there for ages.
Kitchens are loud. If you ask for a vongole a might give you a creme brulee. If you ask for venison, I might wonder what medicine you are talking about.

The loud concerts when I was young doesn't help.
