Moment of Transition

My moment of transition started as soon as we crossed our last toll into Jo berg. The first change i realized came in the form of weather. We were greeted with rain showers and a much cooler climate compared to the humid weather we endured through Zulu Nyala. What got most of my attention here was the pace of work out here in the Lido. No split shifts, just straight 7-12 hours or more shifts depending on the day. Weekends always seem busier than weekdays. Compared to Zulu Nyala food seems to be a bit scarce here unless everyone here adopted a daily diet plan. Breakfast could range from eating a roll of bread with butter to one fried egg with a complimentary slice of bread. Am still slowly adjusting to the food portions here but things would have been much less exciting if there wasn't a 24 hour convenience store next door.

Table set up. Birds of the round table and fine dining.

A powerful moment in the kitchen. We work hard but we enjoy every moment of it...

Bartending. What would you like to have today...

Lunch from the team. we had a few ups and downs but always around for each other.

Work Hard Play Hard

Theres time for play. Then there's a time where all your energy is put into hard work. Thats were the fun begins once you figure out how things work around you.

success can be measured by the amount of energy and focus you put in.

First time serving buffet to about 124 people. Wasn't ready but the moment felt right as any other time to perform.

Good moments. After swiping the sweat from your brow, you go home knowing how many faces you tatooed with smiles. A happy customer makes good bed time story to tell yourself before drifting off into your 2nd ambitious world.
