It’s 2:00 AM again.

And I’m sitting down to write.  

Today was one of those days.  

First.  

I had 6 interviews scheduled. 4 showed up. I hired three. And I’m going to do a 2nd interview with the 4th.  

We are inching closer to opening day. 

The chandeliers were hung today. I haven’t seen them in person, but the video Chef sent to me, is impressive.  

It was finally spring here today. Mid 60’s. Sunny.  

I was in a bad mood.  

It didn’t start that way.

But I found my way there.  

I had to apologize to a server for snapping at her tonight. 
Fun fact.  

10 years ago, I started a rule, that if I snap at you inappropriately, I will buy you a beer.  

I gave the server 10 dollars tonight at the end of her shift.  

It really keeps you from losing your temper if it costs you money.  
It was a long drive home tonight as I contemplated the evening. 
I was frustrated.

But it turns out, by the wrong situation.

I knew that by the time I turned the lights off and locked the door behind me.

I was even grumpy with Adam at the end of the night and that hardly ever happens.  

The one take away for me tonight, was to remind myself, that I’m human. It’s going to happen. Everyone gets frustrated. Everyone gets angry.  

The key is to own it. Not make excuses. Not pass the blame.
Tomorrow, Saturday, I’ll go to work as always, and reset myself to my original setting and start over.  

I’ll apologize to the Friday crew, next week.
