I work a 6am - 4:30pm schedule and have found that my brain tends to wake up a few hours after clocking in. Most of my early mornings contain mindless tasks and a quick out and back mile run, to get the juices flowing.
The other day I was having a conversation with a co-worker in the company kitchen. Just the 2 of us scrambling up some microwave eggs and slamming down coffee. Seems pretty normal, right?
The co-worker that I am line cooking with lives an alternate lifestyle. He's a cool guy and I cant say that I have any issues with him.
We were catching up on the weekend topics. You know...Who does your flowers, how do you feel about red being the new brown and how he couldn't believe who Rachel Zoe picked for her new intern on the Rachel Zoe show.
As I was whipping up my breakfast I noticed my hands were splattered with raw egg. I walk over to the sink, noticing that he has cornered himself between the coffee pot, water cooler and sink. With no room for me to access the faucet. Committed on my line toward the sink, This is what I hear rolling off my tongue.....
"hey man, let me squeeze in behind you and wash off". My immediate thought?
... Like he hasn't heard that before.
As you plan your day.. remember. There is always more than one way to say. Excuse me, I need to wash the egg off my hands. Especially in this situation!
Have a great day!
