Also, you should know that posting average is the average number of posts since member X joined the forum. The present posting average could be anything - if I'm not mistaken Haiz used to have a posting average of like 30 posts a day when they joined.
whaaat, really?
30? O_________O which threads did I even post in half of them didn't even exist yet
I haven't been aware of the post average for a very long time, but mine's been around 15 for the past two months at least.
anyway, this week I have returned to the kitchens!!
Spoiler: brings this back • show 
I get to wear the cool kitchen outfit again
But I'm not in the same kitchen, but the breakfast kitchen (the kitchens are a humongous
maze), whiich is in the same area as the cutlery polishing table. Cue survivor's guilt.
either way, chopping vegetables is somehow much more rewarding and interesting than cutlery hell. And hey, maybe nibbling at some leftover vegetable thing once in a while will be a good vitamin source. I think I may have neglected my vitamins lately, but I'm
trying.
I also realized a thing - my first round in the kitchen a month ago, they called me "young lady" or "little girl" all the time instead of my name. Everywhere else it's been Helen, but never in the kitchens. Now I'm back, and my name is suddenly "kitty" and "goldie" (czech pet names equivalents of "honey" and "sweetie") - which feels very odd to me. I guess we just don't do pet names in Norway, especially not to people you don't know, so my brain's automatic response is to read it as condescending (and this, I think, is because the time I see pet names used the most is from internet fights, where 'sweetie' is used in a condescending manner pretty often).
My favourite moment was "look, girl, lady, or... whatever you are." with the kitchen boys snickering in the background.
ANYWAY the thing I realized today is that we don't wear the name tags in the kitchens because they might fall into the food. that's the conclusion.
