Food and Beverage 3

I am shocked that we are already in our third week!

On Tuesday we set up for the Quarterly staff bonus function but after the function when everybody knocked off, we stayed behind to set up for a conference that was due on Wednesday.  We carried in all the tables and chairs and then we had to start laying out the table cloths, glasses, sweet bowls, pens, notepads, etc...  Now firstly, this is a big job in itself so when the Food and Beverage manager, Willie Smit, came in and showed us how skew our tables were and demonstrated how they should be, the job became double!  We set up all the tables, again, according to specifications and still Willie brought in a long rope which was spanned from the front to the back table, which we used to make sure everything was in line.  Now this is a job for a perfectionist!

Where's Waldo...

Straight lines!

Admittedly, after all the alterations, the hall looked much better.

Setting up lunch for 100 people is seriously a difficult task, what made it even more difficult was the fact that our usual lunch area for conferences was too small so we had to set up a bit away, under the trees.  In the end, we pulled it off and it actually looked like something out of a fairy tale.
