What keeps you at your job?

One of the things I enjoy about being a cook is dealing with the public, when someone tells me how the enjoyed a mea I prepared it really motvates me to do my best. One of things I dislike most about my work ironically,is the same thing I love, dealing with the public. What keeps me on the job is the energy level used on a daily basis. When I was younger I thought I wanted an office job, needless to say that job lasted all of 2 weeks.

I have A love hate relationship with being a Chef/cook.I started washing dishes in 1968.On occasion I still wash dishes.I tell all my cooks "You never stop washing dishes"I love too cook and love the beauty of a well run kitchen.Iam tired of always being under the gun constantly fighting The clock.Having to compromise my standards to get the food out the door on time.We can't say, like my mechanic has often said, I couldn't get to it today maybe tomrrow" Or my doctor after Ive been waiting for him for an hour and a half says,"sorry to keep you waiting"!I offten wonder why?They aren't held to the same standards we are.I also tell my cooks "It's never good enough or fast enough.But always do your best If you've done that,thats your reward.Steve
