reflecting through the week

it's friday night(when i started writing it was. just writing sometime after midnight). i just came from the restaurant. what a busy night. lots of take outs and eat in as well. this night happens to be the last day for one of our sushi chef. he's worked for us about 4 years. he just graduated from culinary school and is moving on. i wish the best. this is something i should say to him but i'm going to share here. it's something that i need to keep in mind. first i like to say, i didn't realize working/helping out in this service business would be hard. especially hiring and training new people. we'd had our shares of good workers and some not so. the kid whose moving on, has been good. at times he could have been better. but he's still young and he has many years to learn. what i like to say to him is, give respect to those ppl who helped you on your journey. tell what is going on clearly. you have so much to learn. and i hope you get sharpened in your new workplace. all the best to him and others who have moved on.
this business has made grown. and is teaching me things about my growth. i'm wondering about whether i want to be still in the restaurant business. if so, i have so much to learn.
