둘째 "멍군", Simon 이 부활절 주말에 라스베가스에서 집으로
모처럼 1년에 2번 있는 휴가를 보내러 지난 토요일에 왔다가
오늘 수요일 다시 Las Vegas 로 갔습니다.
장가간 아들들이 집에 왔다가면, 기분이 아무렇치도 안한데.
老총각으로 .. 혼자 사는 아들이라. 밑으로 동생들 2명도 벌써 장가도 가고,
애들도 있는데.
그래서 그런지, 아들을 보내고 나니 마음이 어딘지 모르게 .. 불편 하더라고요.
뭔가 더 잘해 줄걸. . .
그런 생각도 들고.. 지 어미도 .. 섭섭한 얼굴을 하고..
휴가와서
우리만 끼고 돌면 본인이 부담이 있을까봐, 본인하고 싶은데로 그냥 두었는데.
친구들도 만나고, 이웃에 사는 동생 부부들과도 만나고 그런것 같은데.
이놈이 떠 나면서. . .

When people are thinking of taking their first steps into kitchens, many around them are quick to give advice.
They will warn of the toil involved, the strength of character and the stamina that are needed, the long hours...
But however much warning is given, one is always quick todisregard it and shrug one's shoulders because really, how hard can it be?
In my years working in kitchens I have seen hundreds come and go; eager at the start butquickly disenchanted and just as eager to get out.
Only a small percentage of people who walk into the world of gastronomy stay there once faced with this harsh environment.
Below is a list that I compiled of all the realities of day to day life as a chef, based on my ownexperience as well as on my observations.
What you can expect from making a living in a professional kitchen:
1 You'll almost always have open wounds on your hands and arms.
2 You'll never meet new people because your social life deteriorates into
non-existence.
3 You'll find it hard to start relationships because alone time will become a precious thing.
4 You'll lose your social skills.
5 Your sense of humour will degrade into the politically incorrect and socially unacceptable.
6 You'll eventually start swearing like a sailor and you won't even notice yourself doing it.
7 You'll turn into an anorak/monomaniac and always turn all conversations back to food.
8 You'll earn a pittance for years/decades.
9 You'll either lose a vast amount of weight or gain a vast amount of weight.
10 You'll never ever have a tan ever again.
11 You won't become famous.
12 You'll develop a habit, whether it be coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, cannabis, cocaine, or even red bull.
13 Your feet will get destroyed.
14 Your back will get destroyed.
15 Your hands will get destroyed.
16 You'll live in a constant state of sleep deprivation, indefinitely.
17 You'll have to ask your friends to plan everything around your schedule, which is incomplete opposition with their availability, because you never know your days off in advance and you probably won't be able to change it.
18 You'll become of a very highly strung nature
19 You'll become more prone to temper flare ups
20 Your awareness of other people's lack of efficiency and common sense will increase and your tolerance of it will decrease.
21 You'll spend the largest part of your life cooped up in a small, undecorated room with poor ventilation, high temperatures, a lot of noise, humidity, no natural light and no windows, with a small group of people who will become your only social interactions.
22 You will work longer hours than you ever imagined possible or
thought legal.
23 You will spend all your waking hours on your feet,
never getting a chance to sit down even for 5 minutes.
전부 46 가지의 이유가 있었는데, 이 정도만 올려 봅니다.

일식집 shibuya는 나도 친구따라 가본일이 있지요. 참으로 음식 맛있고 분위기 좋은 곳입니다. 음식이 맛 있다는 것은 그 안에 훌륭한 chef 가 있기 때문에 가능한 것입니다
여러 사람에게 맛이 있는 음식을 줄수있는 것 아무나 가질 수 있는 기술이 아닙니다 이런 좋은 기술을 가지고 있는 것은 자랑거리이고 기뻐해야 할 일입니다 이렇게 생각하면 이 집사님이 기쁠 것이고 집사님의 아들 또한 즐거운 일이 되겠습니다
나는 이 집사님과 교회 홈페이지에서 이런 대화를 나눌수 있는 것의 매우 기쁩니다. 교회 친교 시간은 이런 대화를 나누기에는 너무 짧지요. 이렇게 좋은 친교 기회를 왜 다른 교우들은 이용하지 않는지 이해가 안되요
