Hi;
Eli my key worker has been having trouble with frequent nosebleeds. Not very good when you are delivering a burger which is supposed to be, well done.
One of the problems with working in bars and restaurants is that nobody ever asks about the health of the people who are serving them. Customers are very quick to tell you if they have a broken nail, but you can be in the middle of an asthma attack and just so long as they get their long, cool latte, they don’t even notice if your arm is falling off.
Most of us are like this, when I stop in the morning at a bar to enjoy a coffee and toast with Graham, I often forget to ask the waitress how she is, but they always enquire into my health. ” Hello Inés how are you today?” and I reply well very tired and I didn’t sleep last night and my in growing toenail is killing me. We are basically all egocentric. Or is it just me?
Come on let’s all agree to try to be better people, by asking the waitress/waiter in our favourite bar, how she/he is feeling next time we drop in for a coffee. Wouldn’t that be great?
Well anyway to get back to our bar and Eli. She went to see a specialist yesterday, who burnt her nasal passages, using lazar tech., he says that when they heal, they’ll be stronger and she’ll be free of nosebleeds. I do hope so!
Today she is at work, but unfortunately she looks rather like she’s done 12 rounds with Henry Cooper (Who incidentally had Mohamed Ali well, beaten when he nearly took his head off with a fantastic left uppercut. IMHO It was only by his corner cheating and cutting his glove, to buy him extra recovery time that he eventually won, but in his heart and when he meets his maker he will know that he was beaten by or own Henry).
It’s not good to have workers walking round your restaurant looking ill. Clients want to be uplifted by fit people that can tell them jokes and make the trip to the restaurant or bar an entertaining if not at times a special experience.
