Argh... the endives!!!
Today there was some leftover food from a catered event at work and I found some unbelievable grilled endives. Even now, as my face continues to flush and I have grown accustomed to the light headedness surrounding the past six hours, I can't believe how good those endives were. I also can't believe I contracted food poisoning of some sort from an endive, the most innocuous vegetable on the planet. I feel as if I've been thrashed by a six year old girl with braces and glasses that resemble fishbowls.
Endives aside, however, I did something today that a savvy young business analyst at my first employer once told me was very important. The gist of his advice was that one must not only manage down the corporate ladder, but up the ladder and sideways as well. The only way that companies become successful is if thier employees look out for each other. So today I saw a potential scheduling conflict down the road, brought it up to the manager, and got some very positive feedback,
So Daniel Stander, that I salute you. You are one brilliant bastard.
