the benchmark
i've finally started gym and body is aching, i started studying for my SAT's today.. i think 1hour everyday should be sufficient. honestly i'm phy-ked.. all i think abt is culinary school.. running through menus, tasting new things, cutting my hand and braving through it.. making new friends of similar interests.. its like i'm just waiting to kickstart my hearrT..
now begins the bragging para..
today i received a major major major ego/confidance boost.. i was in the confrence room running through all the visit details repeatedly in my head, and the director of operations and chief medical officer( both of them are full Colonels)were talking abt their senior director stuff.. then the Dir Ops asked me, wa.. how on earth is PAD gonna survive when u ORD. youve built quite a name for your self. at first it didnt hit me.. i just gave a very shallow haha.. er.. dunno.. i have 5 more months so lets make the best of it..
i then got carried away talking on the phone to someone i cant remember who abt the visit. Maj Charles then walked in to check on them and they were talking abt the visit. the next thing u know, dir ops asked maj charles where he found an NSF like me.. and maj charles said one thing that literally just made me feel like i grew two wings.. "i only select the best". dam i was floating..
the next few moments of floating was again brought down by a series of phone calls again.. but nevertheless, it made me realise one thing.. all those days where i demanded things be done again and again till they were perfect, the times i heard people make that "chizt" sound when they got annoyed my constant nagging.. it was all worth it.. it made me feel like a bench mark.. a gordon ramsay.. but in this case.. a sam.. i was the one that people looked to for direction.. a quality control..
what ever you bring forward, is you on a plate.. crappy or not, you decide what you want people to think..
ok enough of self praise.. haha..
here are some gay quotes i i start harrassing people with soon..
There are two things, the level of consistency and not becoming static. You can't be good on a Thursday, and then not bad on a Friday.
One thing we’ve never done – and I think it’s crucial to the success of the business – is taken customers for granted. We’ve never sent out a dish and said, ‘They won’t notice the difference, send it! They won’t know what the sea bass is two-and-a-half minutes overcooked. I'd rather keep the customer waiting 15 minutes and get it perfect
Everyone thinks you’re an arsehole to work for because you get straight to the point. I’ve the most amazing relationship with my guys, and yeah, if things go wrong, they have to take it. But I expect just as much from myself as I do from them
It's important not to rely on approval from outside the team. It's about every day achievement; we have to start from scratch every day. We don't think in terms of what we've got and how good we are. I'm not interested in reading a complimentary letter; I want to see a complaint letter.
