Suffering from Experience

My culinary resume was once very short. Very, very short. And as culinary school progressed, I went to different jobs, added to my experience. Now my resume is very long, almost two pages. I guess it looks like I've hopscotched my way through the last two years. So now, rather than suffering from lack of experience, I now suffer from too much. Too many places, too little time at them. Some were my own fault, some not. I'm not saying I never made mistakes. But I've landed on my feet, most of the time.
My theory is this; it makes little or no sense to stay somewhere that you hate. It makes equally little sense to stay where you learn nothing. Some things are not meant to be long term. It doesn't make me less responsible, or less dedicated to my work. I work hard, I expect to be treated decently, if that doesn't happen, then don't expect to have me to kick around for very long.
Won't happen.
