Just a quick update my friends. I spoke with Executive Chef yesterday about the insubordination write up. It was a good conversation. I let him know how I felt about the word as it has serious real world ramifications. He agreed. He also understood where I was coming from. He asked what word I would have used and truthfully I couldn’t come up with one on the spot. Involuntary or unable were the two that came to mind.
However, it was nice to speak with him about the process. About how writings up work, etc. It put my mind at ease though I still do object to the use of the word insubordination.
He then took time to listen to what I had to say about the incident. I explained the problem and he proceeded to explain to me about the knife. When it is dull. How to sharpen it properly? How the steel on a bevelled knife folds over on itself. Etc. By my explaining the problem he was able to find the solution and explain it to me ion a meaningful way. THIS AIDS IN MY DEVELOPMENT DRAMATICALLY! Thanks Chef!
It is however, a sign of my aging, I believe anyway, that I treated the whole incident like an adult. I behaved in a manner appropriate with my maturity and it shocked even me. I guess I am beginning to grow up… A LITTLE!
Mark Twain once said; “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Are you in a safe harbour? Are you exploring? Are you dreaming? Are you discovering? If not, what is keeping you from your life? Dream BIG and INSPIRED!
A la prochaine
