Every Christmas we set up the card table and do at least one 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. And it’s usually a puzzle of something we’ve done or seen that year. This year it’s San Francisco. As you can see, I’m missing some edge pieces. I prefer to get the edge done before doing the rest but so far I haven’t found those edges. So, I’ve just been working with what I can find. Right now, that’s the water pieces. Then, it will be the buildings. I’m pretty sure those edge pieces will show up as I’m completing this puzzle.
It’s kind of like our business. Whether it’s doing the schedule, arranging catering orders, setting up the DT, staffing kitchen... we’ve got a lot of puzzles. Sometimes the pieces are obvious. Sometimes we can’t find the right piece when we want it.
This puzzle reminds me of a few things. Keep looking. Work with what you can work with. Have fun. It’s a puzzle.
