It really isn't Aside from having to time them, aside from having to guess if they're cooked the right amount or not, aside from them scalding you while you're trying to get the shell off - I don't know how anyone could be hungry, want to eat eggs, boil them and still be able to stand the thought of eggs after standing smelling them while they're taking the shell off. Howling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally nothing easier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howling. Only reheating tinned food or making toast rank easier on the cooking difficulty scale. Baffled by the whole "taking the shell off" bit if they're hot as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fried egg is quite clearly easier to cook than a boiled egg, because you can fucking see the result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking it into the pan, not sticking it to the pan and getting it out in one piece and on to plate/bread/ gammon etc are all additional steps that can go wrong. Given @Miguel Sanchez couldn't peel an egg without burning himself i don't want to encourage him to be around hot oil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I think my biggest problem is that eggs as food seems like the best idea in the world until you're actually cooking and eating them at which point you'd rather be doing literally anything else. Boiling them adds a level of aggravation that somehow makes it even less worthwhile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Not sure if this is the right thread as this isn’t a “quick question” but here goes.. I got promoted in work two months ago, to assistant manager. It’s the first time I’ve ever been in a position where employees have looked up to me/have been my superior. I know all of them, and I’m on good terms with all of them, I just want some advice on how to go about being a superior to folk who I was on an even keel to. i know the different/expectations of the roles, and I think I have the respect of everyone. I just want to not come across as a dick if I ever have to dig the team as a whole up. Any advice? it’s taken me 7 years to get to this point and I don’t want to f**k it up. I love what I do and I take great pride in keeping everyone happy and my main mantra is making sure everyone wants to come to work with a smile on their face.

You have to take one of them into the woods and shoot them, it's the only way they'll respect you. Alternatively, they work to the same rules as you do, it's fair to expect that both parties don't act the dick, just get along with them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
