A Brief Personal History of David A. Archer Page 2 My preference for cutlery; Though it is that I have had other tools, I seem to gravitate toward Wusthof. The Trident, Grand Pre particularly. It's almost as though they were made specifically for my hands. The rounded handles and the degree of rocker seems to gel with my particular techniques. I had a considerable collection of tools that were stolen in 2002, in Tucson, Arizona while I was packing around the western states. Just damn sad but I look forward to replacing them and using them again. I find myself hoping that they are getting even a fraction of the care that I used to show them. My tools are always sharp and CLEAN. A dull knife is much more dangerous than is a sharp one in my opinion. I have done my own sharpening for much of my life, really.... but found myself a bit spoiled in the use of smithing services for the task in the late 1990's. If cared for, a bevel and edge can be held for a considerable amount of time with just one trip to the smith. ~~~~~~~~~ I smoke sometimes. I drink sometimes. I have never had a problem with addiction. I have occassionally drank to get get "blitzed," but haven't for some years and only at raucous times meant for such. Never was I alone in it. I think my habits in that area are quite natural, and nowhere near extremes. I haven't had a beer in over a week and feel no need for one. I have however, been considering a few wines I would like to imbibe. I do like to try new wines. As you may have been able to discern, I very much loathe slander and gossip. They really have no welcomed place in my life, especially in the work environment. If you can't say something TO someone, what does it say about yourself in saying something slanderous about them when they aren't around? There are other aspects of such gossip that are even more counterproductive and in some case's may even pose physical harm to the victims of it. Such cowardice does nothing but create animosity and a very large area for hurtfull misunderstanding-which in my opinion is far worse than simply communicating with someone about how you may feel personally.... whether it's outshined, inferior.... or any of the other reasons some use to justify such crap. In that, it isn't hard to see how those that employ such tactic could want that result. I can see where much of this attitude toward such spineless behavior was instilled in me through my youth. I never had to back bite. I was never exposed to such disfunctional dynamics that would be needed for such to be the normal atmosphere. I was taught that if you had a problem, you addressed it. You addressed it in a manner that suited the situation. Growing up, I never had to sneak anything. I never had to "sneak out" of the house. I never had to lie about where I was going, or who I was going to be with. It was very much my own responsibility, and that was readily the attitude of my Father. If I messed up, I had to deal with it, and I did more than once... but nothing major. I was taught to communicate. It's that easy. I found in that, my own level of what should be addressed at the moment and what can wait until the end of the day. I am hard placed to find any reason I have experienced in a kitchen to be one with the validity to overshadow the day and the tasks at hand. I have found myself a bit confused at times when watching people work harder to manufacture some drama, than they do in being involved in something that they claim to want to spend their life doing. In some cases, something that they claim to love. I don't need manufactured drama. I have had enough of actual situations in my life (and will probably experience more) that I don't have such a need, I guess. If I mess up and get my ass chewed, don't expect me to sit around and sob or grovel for some "Oscar Nomination." I listen and hear the problem/point in concern, and then deal with it and move along. I just don't see a reason to dwell. There is too much positive direction to fill my life with and to share, to sit around and please someone else's need in that respect. If you are the kind of person that needs to feel superior in having some display of submisive behavior. I am NOT the guy you need. There is a difference between respect, professionalism and due respects and some twisted egotistical insecurity. I know the difference. I know it from experience. On a personal level.... if you're interested in a good spank on the bottom... that can be addressed(though isn't a guarantee) between consenting adults.... but a resume isn't the place for such. I like to "Rock it Out." Living very much in the moment. Whether it's a slow crawl, or several times the speed of sound. I look to my past for reference and inspiration. I look to my future for similar reasons, though in a different light and frame of mind. I live in the here and now. I look forward to hearing from you. My Most Sincere Compliments, David A.
