My birthday is over and it was a mixed day, but Bekki made it great for me, and I couldn't really ask for more.
The first half of the day was quite terrible. I suppose this will be my last entry about Windermere, and it's too bad it has to be a negative one, as they so often seem to be. I was scheduled alone and shouldn't have been. I had 82 hotel guests to feed in the hotel, most of which ordered hot food off the menu, which meant for the most part I was stuck on the line cooking food. The buffer portion of the breakfast ran out but there was no one to prep the food or do anything, so I ran out of nearly everything, and had no way of making more while cooking orders. I also had a banquet hot breakfast, that required me to make pancakes (time consuming), as well as meat, scrambled eggs, home fries, and so on, which went out in the middle of the busy cafe time, so that was fun. I was also responsible for making all of the sandwiches for the CVG, warming a soup, chili, and making salads, which is extremely time consuming. Another responsibilty was to set up the pasta bar and warm the sauces. On top of those things, I also had a lunch at 11:20am for 40 people, which had a lot left to do for it. I could maybe do two or three of those things successfully, not all seven hundred. I text Shawn to come in earlier, but the damage was already done. Our lunch went out late, the pasta bar went out late, the CVG stuff went down late, the Sysco order sat out forever and the produce order didn't get put away until after 12pm.
