This Really Great Thing Happened…

It’s been a few days since I had a minute to write, dear world, however, I’m reaching back a few days to share this one with you….

Recently we had a new woman begin working in our kitchen. The very first day we worked together I told her that it was my first restaurant job but not how long I had been there.  A few days later, we were talking and she asked

“how long did you say you’ve been working here?”

“I don’t think I did… it’s been about two months now” I replied. 

She responded “That’s it?! I can’t believe that you’ve only been here two months.  You really have a natural aptitude for it - you’re so comfortable and confident in the kitchen, I would have thought you’ve been doing this for years.”

“Well thanks…”

“Seriously, you either get it or you don’t in this industry… and you definitely get it.  I can tell just watching the way you move around the kitchen.”

That was maybe the most incredible compliment I could have ever asked for.  This woman has been in the industry for 18 years, and she thinks that I’m really good at what I’m doing.  

Just another reason to keep believing that this was the right choice.
