Inside three minds....

Let's just take a quick look at the way three different types of minds work.....


The Server mind.......

Okay...I've gotta get two salads for table 44, oh yeah...and 1 salad and 1 soup for table 43...may as well get those at the same time....oh! bread for both...plus dipping oil.....may as well put it all on a large tray....save a trip...I can load the tray back up with the empty dishes from table 52....drop the dishes off...run over to the service bar..see if my drinks are ready....get 2 iced teas on the way....grab a dish of butter for 44.....gotta remember to ask Sara if we are going bowling tonight....gotta put the entrees for 43 and 44 in the computer....etc.



The Engineer mind....

I've never been an engineer, but this is what one told me.....there is a squirrel and a chipmunk in my head....the chipmunk is trying to run on the hamster wheel....the squirrel is tossing dice..one of the dice has a chip in it so it always comes up 6.....there is a picture of a man on the wall...they think he may be Greek....there is a lottery ticket on the floor...it is a $1.00 winner...it is torn in half...the chipmunk and squirrel argue about this.....on one half the squirrel wrote down his pin # for the ATM machine (you're not supposed to write those down) the hamster wheel has been painted too many times and no longer turns....sudden input overload!...the hamster wheel falls over, the picture of the man on the wall they think may be Greek falls, landing on the squirrel, the chipmunk lights the lottery ticket on fire.....the fire melts the dice...

"You know, Jim, I believe we can get funding for this project."



The Restaurant Manager mind.....

"We've gotta set up a table for twelve..so we'll need to push some tables together...I'm pretty sure if we put six on each side we'll have enough...so let's push these 3 tables together...well...now that I see them together I think we should switch out the table at this end for the table at the other end....and then if we put one chair on each end...then how many will we need for each side....oh wait a minute I forgot we need room for a table of 10 also...maybe we should move the 12 to the front and put the 10 here...and then we could ...oh wait...who's working in these sections....maybe we should put water glasses out...here let's line up these chairs and see how many will fit here....is this the table for 10 or 12...well why isn't it over there....wait...change this tablecloth....where are we putting the 10?.....
