...When the orders came pilling in, I turned more quiet, concentrated and my speed of service went up. Then I prefer clear to the point communication, actually that is the same for all work-related issues. Things that really caused unrest was working with incompetent or lazy people. Somehow management always choose to put them under my wing, since I would ultimately do their job too (without complaining).
Things I really hate is my tendency to complain about others in my personal circle. Somehow it is a good way to let stress out, but I feel that it makes me look weak. People could think that, if I say these things about someone else, maybe I would say the same about them. I always tell myself not to complain, but when things stress me out I just need to let go. I think it is far more worthy to talk about others in a good sense and to keep negative opinions to yourself.
Dizzy, I identify with this completely, I could have actually written it myself. For what it is worth, I know where you're coming from. I dislike losing my composure to the point that I begin just venting about others, justifiable or not...and then when I am through I feel self-indulgent and rude. I'm not always perfect (well, never perfect..I strive for reliably competent) yet when I sound off I must come across as a real perfectionist jerk.
I enjoy a little controlled chaos too...similar to your hectic kitchen, where you can bring your well-practiced skills into full usage in a dynamic environment...it is very close to what I imagine joy is. To have the process interrupted and the rythms of work encumbered by things beyond our control I find extremely agitating.
