They Say That There Is No 'I' in Team, So Why...

...so, why do some people 'assume' that you will go along with something, that isn't voted on as a whole. Listen, I am a dedicated 'Foodie', meaning..working with food is my WORLD. I believe in putting out a great product, making deadlines happen and avoiding them also from having to have one. As long as I been in this business, I can see projected problems that CAN arise. My best tools in the kitchen are my ears. My knife skills are honed, and are improving with every single day I work in a kitchen. I am always learning, there isn't anything from anyone that I WON'T take advice from...so... ...'bot-for-nothing', going to a Lil Wayne concert isn't a priority for me. Though I would like to go...but I be damned if I'm going to give up my day off and bust my ass so that my teammates can take off on a Friday and go to a concert. Our setup now, in THIS kitchen is new. We are STILL ironing out the kinks, trying to get shit right. Lil 'Payne...

Tuesday...

...starts off just great. I am awaken by some woman screaming my name, my housemate. She stuck her head into my room and notice I was sleeping with an erection. Apparently, she is turned on by this. I wake up like the house is on fire, reading to throw on some pants and dash. She says she was waking me up to tell me she is leaving for work. Since when, after 3 months of me being in your house, that you have to need to tell me while I am sleep, that you are leaving for work. I told her, sleepily, that we have to have a talk tomorrow morning, cause that will be the next time I will see her. So, I have a breakfast date this coming Sunday at Denny's. I am so amazed at this place. The amount of food they give you for such a low price. But what really amazes me is that no Black people go there to eat. Some work in the kitchen and do the cooking, but none actually, as far as I have seen, have sat down and eat there since I've been in there to eat while I was there. Well, she is 25...

I Know, But What Can I Say...

...all I can say is this...it has been rough. There is a proper way to handle your business and I'm not the one to TELL some one how to do that. But I will try and give advice. Most people won't and don't take advice, I know I don't at some times. When things get to 'Cluster Fuck Mode', it's all hands on deck and some one has to take the blame. I learned how to take the blame...even though most times it isn't my fault. Taking blame, what, you can't kill me for it, so when no one claims it, I do. The reason? Because I am capable of making mistakes, and just maybe it WAS my mistake. Look at it this way... If you see some one doing something wrong, and if you dont step in to correct it...When everyone gets their ass chewed all together, step up and say, hey, it was my fault because in theory, it was. Because you didn't attempt to stop or correct what was doing wrong. I like how I can throw an idea out there, and some one takes the credit for it....
