so this week has been INCREDIBLY insane at work...
first day-wedding reception for 2 of the residents, they are adorable and just got married. :)
second day-i got thrown in to lunch because we had some people not be able to come because of the snow and they didnt schedule enough people..
third day-getting the hang of things, one person was fired and the other couldnt come in because of the snow.....so we were short 2 people..
fourth day-lunch was just me and the dining room manager, and both of us are new and didnt know names of all the residents AND she had meetings so i was by myself. the residents were VERY understanding of me having to ask their names to see what they wanted. then after lunch we were getting ready for dinner and the ceiling sprung a leak. then before we knew it the whole dining room had water and it was leaking from the can lights and out of the columns and coming out of the outlets. it was insane! we moved all the furniture out of the dining room, a room where they put a puzzle together and the cafe. we were scrambling to get dinner orders taken to serve upstairs in the country kitchen, where it normally seats 38 people was seating 70, very uncomfortably. it was incredibly insane. i ran up and down the stairs multiple times because of trying to get the food up to them in a reasonable amount of time and they were telling us not to use the elevators.
fifth day-serving upstairs all the meals in the country kitchen buffet style. i think we worked out all the kinks today so hopefully it will run more smoothly the next couple days.
insane work week so far..but i am enjoying it and the residents. i already have 3 favorites :)
