People I work with,,,,Here it goes
So following the path of Buddha is a hard one. It is near impossible for me to accept all people. I do find some peoples to be less than adequate and I find some to be irritating. Its not virtious nor acceptable but it happens. Some people I find alright to be around for a short time but any longer than a short time and I see the true nature of the people in question. They to me are sluggish and really when it comes to the end of the day do not finish hard. Its hard and sad to say but I cannot live in such close quarters with such people.. Nor would I really Invite some into my home.. but this is a generalization.. Many are nice and good people..but I find them to have strange ways of dealing with problems .. their mental connections are different than my own and I am not sure why but do not make me alright with some actions…Ok so now that I have said all that and will most likely look back on this with negative thoughts I must say that today was a more than challenging day of work. I am used to easy and nice Saturdays with relaxing walks and access to the beach and mostly a fun good time.. this Saturday was nothing like that.. it was like placing fish into a barrel with a hole in the bottom.. or wrangling a heard of sheep.. they each want to do something different than the objective. For instance The galley is a mess and were not progressing What is logical. Clean the galley and them progress. I found the galley was not clean and there was no progression. So it is to say that the most we accomplished today was gaining hours and not too much more. Now I am happy that I worked 10.5 hours on over time that makes me feel great. It’s basically 100 dollars added to my check but is that extra 100 worth the effort I expended..Perhaps? I did manage to have fun with it.. I was placed on a sandwich making task.. It was great! I was slanging mayo and slapping around mustard.. Good fun!! Perhaps a little too much fun. I treated the job with a joking attitude… shit I’m making sandwiches for Christ’s sake..It does not take too much brain function to do so..The person who was responsible for making these sandwhiches was basically a useless lump of meat when it comes to the kitchen.. I wonder about other aspects of her life as well.. This woman is a character, it takes her about 2 hours to cut a case of tomatoes and not a difficult cut just slices..I could understand if it were umm.. a rose or something I dunno even then I don’t think it would take that long.. any who she is fucking nuts..She was using the mandolin the other day and telling me a story about how she escaped Jeffery Daumier and basically she never reported it and later learned he was a killer..now I do not believe this story but it was fun to hear something so crazy for sure. So yea this woman basically sucks at kitchen work and well even pot scrubbing apparently.. Its kinda sad..Ohhh hahah.. another story..Im trying to contain a water spill and this same woman comes up to me trying get in my flooding galley I ask what she wants and I was not really listening..Come to find out she wants in my flooding galley to pour out water from a barrel now I have water spilling into the hall and this woman wants to add to it I could give two fucks what she wants let along dump water I tell her to dump the shit on the floor she does and the dingbat was complaining about no more than a cup of water..It was pitiful..I have more water in my shoes than this fucking green barrel.. and she wants to go into my galley just to empty the thing…For me the situation would have been common knowledge ..just dump the fucker on the floor they will never know the difference. Its silly really when it comes to who they hire into the galley..I am not sure if people lie a lot on there application or during their interview but with out question we have nearly 25 percent of people who should never be allowed to touch a pan let alone be trusted with a knife.. Another person John Garver a huge white Texan with highlighted blonde graying hair apparently used to work in the veg tomb on his last contract It has been said on the job he used to pack a huge wad of Dip and swallow the liquid.. That is bad but what is worse during his shift he used to fall a sleep. Not just daze out and slow down but literally fall a sleep standing up while cutting something..The man is fat fatter than he really should be and when he comes in the room it takes all my might to find pleasant thoughts. I do find many people to be fun. A chef in the crew mess galley is nicknamed fish mostly because he had worked in the fish butchery but partly because some think he looks like a fish I personally do not think the latter but do think he is a valueable asset to this staff.. He has a great attitude and a loud thundering voice that demands attention.. Though with these larger than life characteristics he is not that large of a person.. He is a ligher skinned black man and is gaining some age but still has it as a chef. He works hard and cooks with love and still has the passion.. From what I gather he has never attended school and I am proud to say that I am the same way. I home in my long career ahead of me that I will be able to do the same..being keep the passions and a positive attitude though all the shit that happens. Another chef that I find interesting is Joselito The execuitive sous chef for the Production galley..He is a tall man and with the toque only adds to his comical height.he walks with a wiggle and a flair to his wrist. His voice is very nasally His personality is one for the ages and thinking of him angry is not something I would like to do.. I am sure he can be serious but most of time time he maintains a light attitude towards the people working in his galleys
