This is a brief post to say that today was another wonderful day. It feels nice to have found my stride at work and to feel that I actually belong. I think that my decision to avoid the politics of the club, both for employees and members, was a great decision and that it will serve me well. It eliminates the bullshit. It provides clarity of purpose and a steady direction to go in.
The specials for tomorrow are a Philly Cheese steak Pizza with Steak, Swiss cheese, Caramelized Onions and Peppers. The pasta special is a Farfalle Bolognaise.
The Pad Thai Special that I created for today was flying like hotcakes when I left. I had sold seven before I left today. I did have to take that with a grain of salt as one of the members sent it back claiming that it was; “tasteless.” To my mind there is no greater insult that one can say to a cook then their food is tasteless. But I did take it with a grain of salt as the Day Manager grabbed the dish and started eating it right away. He is a celiac and so this is the first dish I’ve made that he could eat. NEEDLESS to say, he did not find it tasteless. And, I, who had it for lunch, did not find it tasteless either.
But, just to put it in perspective, so that you understand, I got a complaint the other day because the toast that I sent out (Rye) was to “hole-y”. And NO I AM NOT KIDDING!
At first I was upset and then I realized that I can please some of the people most of the time but not all of the people all of the time. Part of the growing experience.
I have another post following this one which explains why I had such a great day.
Thich Naht Hahn once said; “Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.”
Are you dreaming big and inspired? START… right… NOW.
A la prochaine
