Sweating the small stuff and frying the big fish
Tell me it's not just me? I mean the big deals, they can be pretty stressful. But it's the small stuff that can really push you over the edge. The small stuff uses up your emotional energy but sometimes there are bigger fish to fry.
One of the junior recipe testers needed a haircut. It should be said that the haircut was badly needed. The junior in question would put Australia's finest merino to shame. He wasn't overly chuffed with the idea of having his haircut, but his hair was ridiculous. Even the barber commented.
Haircut complete, he continued to grizzle about how he hated haircuts. And his smart new hair. Give me strength.
We finally got over it long enough to get home. Fortunately, because he now can't see his hair, he forgot about it. We carried on.
Some time later that day this particular junior took himself to the bathroom. At this point it should be noted that this is the junior who also has the broken arm. Tasks such as attending to one's personal hygiene needs are somewhat more difficult one-armed.
A short time passed and an enormous cry came from the bathroom. "He's fallen on the floor," I thought. "He's cracked his head open on the edge of the bath and is bleeding," was the next thing to enter my head. "Are you alright?" is what I shouted down the hall, picking up my pace.
"I hate my haircut!" came the response.
Standing up from the toilet the junior had caught sight of himself in the bathroom mirror...
At this point I began to wonder how many years I'd get for grievous bodily harm.
It is these matters that consume my emotional energy. But this, you'll be pleased to learn, isn't the big fish we're frying...
The big news is Dinner on the Table is moving our kitchen. Our current premises on Seven Hills Road with the great kitchen and terrible parking has served us well for the past few years. But it's time to move on...
We're heading up the road to an exciting new premises in Castle Hill. You'll find us at Unit 32, 7 Carrington Road.
We'll have more parking, more space for cooking, and more capacity to feed a crowd during an event. This means that it'll be MUCH easier to pick up your dinners from our kitchen, and we can't wait to see you there. (And, stay tuned for some exciting new ways we're making it even easier to get dinner on your table.)
All this excitement means that for a short time we will need to pause deliveries while we get all our equipment out of our current home and into our new home. Order by 1pm Monday 28 May for delivery next week. All orders after this time will not be delivered until Tuesday 5 June.
We'll keep you posted about how we're going. Moving house is great... once it's done.
