This blog begins at the end of another failed workplace interface between me, the free spirit and someone who hired me despite the glaring neon warning signs. It occurred to me that I was not representing myself accurately?
I thought it was clear that I was "coming out of retirement" from the restaurant industry to help a failing business.
I will be more clear in future messages to the world of commerce. I will work for you , but as an "at will" employee, I need to FEEL you and be happy to help in order for us to make this thing happen. I am always vocally demonstrative in my happiness or confusion. I live in the moment because life is but a collection of moments and the key to happiness is to enjoy the moments, enjoy the struggle, enjoy the work.
It's about focus.
Anyway. More about that at www.sendaresumeaphobia.com
This place is about Socratic Questions in the workplace. This is a TERRIBLE management tool.
Anyway. I now have some breathing room. Time to set up the next grand adventure so as to be a more suitable use of my time. Time to send out feelers.
As I was laughing about the use of Socratic Questioning my my boss I was just about sick of standing around doing nothing as I was pushed away from the food creation area so she could do the job right. 6 weeks as a cook and I never cooked an omelet for her because she "didn't trust me". I've made thousands of omelets. As the kids say "whatevs"
I'm not working for another suspicious boss. Suspicious and sarcastic are a terrible combo. Sarcastic, defensive, suspicious and non communicative are a recipe for disaster. In another post on another blog I wrote about how I would improve her place. I posted it for the world to see. I tried to help.
There will be a restaurant for lease withing the next few months as she continues to hemorage money and feel like a victim and lash out in anger and spite against the very people she is trying to rally behind her cause.
The sad thing about her management style is that it breeds a passive aggressive antagonism in her employees who are tired of being bitched at and "go rogue" when she isn't around to satisfy their self esteem.

This will be the newest, go to where we try to sort out life's grand mysteries and try to help. Synergy. Many hands make light work. I will set up sequence of helpful activities. I will be the Socratic Old Boss. The SOB that tells the truth. TruthfulSOB sounds alot better.... hmmmm......
I will ask questions of those I attempt to help in their chosen use of time and energy. As I help others I am also pursuing the path suggested to me by the happiness that flooded over me when I no longer had to work in the negative energy vortex that was my previous place of employment. I may put them into the rotation of help or refer to them as a case study, but as a stepping stone, they fulfilled their obligation to me and they are not the first disappointed boss I have left in my wake and they will not be the last. I hitched a ride with them to the next level. I'm looking for my next ride.
