easter feasts

It's easter, a crazy time of year in hospitality.
It occured to me today that we're open every day of the year. and I work all of the difficult ones.

We had several functions (alternate drop), which made me laugh. If you've ever been in a room full of people that have never hear the word 'no', you would understand immediately the problem this poses. You serve veal or chicken - most likely, whatever you place in front of the next person - is absolutely NOT what they want. So despite ordering 50 veals, 50 chicken, most people don't want chicken. they want the veal.

I might get a promotion in the next week or so, and it's pretty scary now I've taken on University again, more hours, more people to say 'yes, of course' to... I think I have a better understanding on many things than quiet a few other people - I could do well.

The whole world closes down this time of year, anzac day - easter... Public holiday friday, saturday, (Sunday), public holiday monday and tuesday. and no supermarkets are open, it sucks.
I need food.
