Who are we?

November 11, 2008

Well you might find humor in who we are?

We are the big fat green frog.  Yup, it’s funny what folks search for us by.  But they’re searching.  More to come some day about our name.  With a name like One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment there should be a funny store about it and guess who it has to do with… yup, Mr. Bossman.  So I’ll save that fodder for another day and still endeavoring to go home yet tonite.  Unlike other potato eating people who are still at their computer.


The long awaited post… Mr. IT Guy’s cubicle

November 11, 2008

The cubicles at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment have been lovingly renamed “the pods” to go along with the “North 40″ aka “UB 40.” You can see we’re pretty fond of nicknames here at One Fat Frog Food Service Equipment Company aka The Frog.

So last week I took a few pictures of Mr. IT Guy’s cubicle.

Mr. IT Guy and his Arizona Ice Tea collection

Let it be known that he tried to decorate it once with Arizona Ice Tea aluminum cans but when we told him he would have to wash them out- lest we get a roach infestation at the frog, he declined and began recycling them. So now he’s sort of given up on that collection. He’s moved on…

Are you prepared?

Serious can you handle it?

You are going to die laughing….

Mr. IT guy has a new collection, but I don’t think it’s really a collection, maybe the beginning of a hoarding problem of the size of which might get him on Oprah. Yes, you know the tv show.

So here’s a picture of Mr. IT Guy’s new collection…

And you’re probably going to ask me, ‘girl, what is that?’

Well the interesting part of the picture is the little green egg clock I have on my desk that wobbles and weebles (not so funny since I have Vertigo- time for another blog update and thus why my little fleet fingers have been quiet). So the interesting basket is my cubicle too. But in the front you’ll see the collections of Mr. IT Guy… yes, he’s been hoarding ketchup, mayonnaise and plastic forks/ knives and napkins. It’s becoming a little excessive and we may have to dedicate a little blurb in our employee manual, an addition from the HR department, “Employees shall keep their cubicles free of any and all food sans that which they are currently involved with eating. Any food items sitting on a desk and not consummed withing a normal shift must be put in the employee refrigerator (note to self, need to get that plugged in) or put the garbage can before maintenance cleans for the day. In addition, any collections of non-food related items must number in under 3 (keeping that number there for an possible future obsessive compulsives who join our staff- sure wouldn’t want to discriminate since we are an EOE equal opportunity workplace) must be removed to your home, automobile, storage unit or local museum for safe-keeping.

Yup, Well Mr. IT Guy… what can we say. We are prodding him to have an employee get together at his house on the lake, but I think he’s on to us, he knows someone will bring their camera and take pictures to upload to our site…

Okay, enough fun for the day boys and girls, back to packing up in hopes of getting out of this joint.

Addition, do you have a funny cubicle picture to share?  Or how about a back of the house picture that we can post anonymously?  Do send it to:  info@onefatfrog.com


The bossman said…

November 11, 2008

The boss man said, “Don’t tell folks they can look at this website when they’re driving!” (Oh yeah and did I mention he laughed about the Mr. IT Guy entries except for the five foot ten one… errr…shoot I got caught on that one even though I didn’t mention him by name… or was he just guilty because we’ve talked about it before?). Pete (not Pete Tech) don’t encourage him to become ed-jum-a-cated again and read the site or you steal all of our fun in the workplace. He’s getting wise to our ways. Really it’s sort of like that TV show The Office, I mean if everyone was in on the joke, well then would Pam really think it was that funny? Speaking of Pam, if you’re wondering what I look like, I’m sort of like Pam a lot. Okay, that’s pushing it but come in and see for yourself.

So, for those that need it, here’s our disclaimer on using pda and mobile devices in the workplace, restaurant, community and car:

Frog Fu- we were making jokes …

November 11, 2008

So we’re here teasing Mr. IT GUY about going karate on someone and he says, well it would be funny if I hadn’t taken 3 years of karate.  I guess he mastered black belt level and then stopped.

Me, I took two years of karate and never made it past white belt.

I guess it takes some folks longer to reach perfection….

Country Club of Mount Dora

What I really like about this organization is their consistent participation in the community with charitable endeavors and moreso, their dedication to upping the professional quality of chefs in the culinary arts, from their website:

Are you looking


to become a certified

chef?

What does certification mean?

Differentiate Yourself

With thousands of chefs competing in the job market, it is essential to prove your culinary competency. Certification through the American Culinary Federation demonstrates skill, knowledge and professionalism to the food service industry.

Specialized Designations

Open to chefs, cooks, bakers, culinary educators and administrators ACF offers 14 different certification designations.

What ACF certification means to an employer

  • Your skills and culinary expertise have reached a set benchmark
  • You are well versed in culinary nutrition and food safety and sanitation
  • You understand the responsibilities of culinary supervisory management
  • You recognize the importance of high standards for food preparation
  • You take charge of your professional development and career

I have a full team of qualified ACF Approved Cooking Evaluators (ACE) and Culinary Educators to conduct training  locally or out of state at your resort, hotel, restaurant or property.

I really cannot say enough about this organization.  It’s too quickly that folks jump in a kitchen and say I can cook it.  Look at how many foodie shows there are… how many restaurants are there… and yet how much of it is true quality?

I think quality and professionalism is something all of us need to strive for.  <off my soapbox>  So if I can encourage you to follow up on training from a professional, this Chef Jeff (as apposed
