I had to get over myself today. I know the Chef didnt mean to be so offensive and I had to let it go. It was immature, rude, offensive, stupid, unprofessional, and harsh. However it was in the moment. He is very demanding and in that light I really do get the best out of myself. I am proud of myself for busting my ass so hard in a fine dining restaurant and making a name for myself through dealing with the bullshit. Knock me down Im coming back stronger. I am passionate about my job, Im not just there for money. I put my heart into every dessert I put out there. I talked to one of the floor managers today and he told me I have probably made a big difference in the business because this past year desserts have gone up. To me that means a lot. I think about the unwritten social contract when I work between me, my coworkers, and our customers. Serving customers good quality food makes me happy because I know I am making my community a better place. Everything is connected. Its not about me, or my ego. So yeah I got hurt and he was wrong, but I can look past that. He is pushing me hard because he believes in me, thats what the floor manager said and I know its true. The chef told me that himself. I know I am an asset to his business and I only want to make myself stronger for the community I live in and for myself. Im not going to let my ego stand in the way of that and tarnish my self respect by demanding revenge for something that although deeply hurtful in the grand picture is really petty. Im not just there for me, Id work a day for free and not feel scorn for it. I like what I do as hard and demanding as it is. I respect myself deeper for putting up with it because I know there is a bigger picture than my ego.
