One place, one task
The head cook had said I would begin with washing and measuring, which sounded safely within my abilities. Once I entered the kitchen, even those jobs seemed connected to a dozen others. People moved around me without needing to announce where they were going. I was afraid that my slowness would obstruct them. The cook handed me an apron and pointed to a clear section of bench. Having one place and one task was a relief. I wanted to prove useful before anyone regretted taking me on.
