The Charmer

Your November 2024 Mantra

Is it just me, or did it get cozy in here? This month is all about being thankful and stuffing yourself full of pie positive growth. Your mantra this month is: 

I balance introspection with action, ensuring harmony in my endeavors and making each day resonate with purpose and clarity. As I reflect on my personal growth, I also share positivity with those around me, making connections that go together better than marshmallow and yam.   

Your Thanksgiving side dish is:

Sweet Potato Casserole/Candied Yams - it's delicious and you know it. The perfect balance of sweet and savory, ample enough to charm anyone at your gathering from your overtly political Uncle Kevin to the kids table - just like you!

Your Bio

You are the king or queen of front of house. You're a hit with the regulars and know just how to make everyone feel special. You're also very good at making it seem like you have it all together, but won't let anyone see what the inside of your car looks like. You're the first person your GM sends to an unhappy guest to make things better. Other famous Charmers include Bon Appetit's Brad Leone, Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec, and Joey Tribbiani from Friends.

The Creative

I approach new opportunities with open-minded creativity, welcoming experiences that expand my vision and enrich my journey (like an extra pat of butter melting into my roasted garlic mashed potatoes). November is a canvas, and I am the artist, painting my path toward fulfillment and joy with each thoughtful decision.  

Your Thanksgiving side dish is:

Couscous Salad – it's unique and innovative, capturing your originality and ability to perfectly pair the unexpected and delightful. 

Your Bio

You are always coming up with new ideas, and don't like the "old" way of doing things. You're like Fernet, either people love you or they pretend to. You enjoy mixing things up and may or may not have unironically owned a Fedora at one point (it was the 2010s ok!?). Other famous Creatives include Phoebe Buffay from Friends and Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter.

The Pusher

A blowtorch

Your Thanksgiving side dish is:

Spicy Jalapeño Cornbread – Bold, fiery, and not for the weak - just like you.

Your Bio

You can really work in any position front or back of house, but feel most at home on or near expo. You are high energy and can sometimes be aggressive (or just aggressively positive). You've expressed your fair share of "WOO!"s and "LET'S GOOOOO"s. You love the rush and are usually down to go out for a nightcap after closing. Other famous Pushers include Gordon Ramsey and Matty Matheson.

The Workhorse

A trusty (but a lil' crusty) frying pan

Your November 2024 Mantra

Is it just me, or did it get cozy in here? This month is all about being thankful and stuffing yourself full of pie positive growth. Your mantra this month is: 

Grounded in gratitude, I savor the subtle beauty of the month and find ways to rest and recharge. By honoring relaxation when I can, I equip myself with renewed strength and a refreshed perspective to embrace what's to come (the blur of December holidays and New Year's Eve).

Your Thanksgiving side dish is:

Creamy Mashed Potatoes – Dependable, comforting and universally enjoyed, mashed potatoes put in extra work on Thanksgiving, filling holes on plates where other, more ahem... interesting... dishes fall short - just like you! 

Your Bio

You are calm, stable, and dependable. You always get your work done and don't make waves unless someone else doesn't put in their fair share. You may or may not be approaching burnout, but admitting it would be a sign of weakness. The random kitchen object that best represents your personality is a trusty (but a lil' crusty) frying pan. Other famous Workhorses include Sydney from The Bear and Peggy Olson from Mad Men.

I nurture bonds and celebrate the community I've built around me. Through acts of kindness and generosity, I create a comforting atmosphere for others and elevate the spirit of togetherness this month offers.

Classic Stuffing – Warm and traditional, much like your nurturing spirit, while easily customizable for those who want to spice things up a bit.

Your Bio

You don't have to be a woman, but like a mother, you are caring and loving and also know alllll the tea. You're the go-to person when a coworker needs life advice or a shoulder to cry on. Other Moms include Sugar from The Bear and Lorelai from Gilmore Girls.

I shine brightly, like the sheen on a well-basted turkey, using my natural leadership to uplift and motivate my circle. November is a stage, and I seize each moment to demonstrate courage and compassion, ensuring my actions leave a lasting positive impact much like a well-timed Gas-X.

Your Thanksgiving side dish is:

Green Bean Casserole - besides the turkey (because these are side dishes, after all), nothing screams leader of the Thanksgiving spread pack like a green bean casserole. Comforting, reliable and hearty, its often the first dish to be passed, leading the way much like you!

Your Bio

You run the show and are likely a GM or other manager. You're often stressed out but still able to pull through and get shit done. You sometimes have outbursts but anger it's not your primary emotion. You are friendly, but probably not besties with most of the staff. Other famous Leaders include Carmy from The Bear, Selina Meyer from VEEP, and Tony Soprano.

A whetstone

I delve deeply into my passions, seeking authenticity in every endeavor this November. Through reflection and perseverance, I uncover hidden potentials, like exactly how many slices of pumpkin pie are too many, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary with my unwavering resolve.

Your Thanksgiving side dish is:

Cranberry relish and/or canned cranberry sauce - look, the folks that get it, get it. Just like you!

Your Bio

You are a mystery to us all (and even yourself). You show up and don't talk much but when you do say something it's typically quite profound. You're not usually managing anything and are ok with going with the flow. Although quiet, you would be missed if you weren't there. You can be slightly aloof but in a likable way. Other famous Quiet Mysteries include Hyde from That 70's Show (not an endorsement of Danny Masterson), Mama Coco from Coco, and Stanley from The Office.

Your November 2024 Mantra

Is it just me, or did it get cozy in here? This month is all about being thankful and stuffing yourself full of pie positive growth. Your mantra this month is: 

I embrace November with both strategic planning and spontaneous joy (yes, spontaneous), knowing that each contributes to my long-term success. By balancing efficiency and enjoyment, I create pathways to new experiences and lasting achievements I can be thankful for.

Your Thanksgiving side dish is:

Perfect Parker House Rolls - While some people may see dinner rolls on a Thanksgiving table and think they're too much, real ones know it's not a complete spread without them. They're aesthetic, delicious and perfectly fluffy (on the inside) - just like you!

Your Bio

Some may describe you as anal or having an "it's just business" approach, but really you just enjoy the challenge of working in a restaurant (and you really like to be the best at it). If you worked in a traditional corporate setting, you'd probably be in trouble with HR because of the less-than-delicate way you handle others' mistakes. At your core though you take pride in what you do and think others should too. You might be a sommelier or executive chef. Other famous Perfectionists include Sherlock Holmes (the Benedict Cumberbatch version), Miranda Priestly from Devil Wears Prada, and Ralph Fiennes in The Menu.
