banquet impossible

I think I now know what the guys from dinner impossible have to deal with.

Let me start from the begining. (gary is going to like this one, and will get a good laugh)

I am smart..this morning before I went to the market to buy the veggies i checked with my friend if the menu had changed because last night they changed a few times and they didnt get back to me with the final decisions!!! (tons of fun)...good thing I did because of course things changed.

Lets make this long story short. I got there an hour early, (another smart move) because some stuff was missing, otehrs where changed and others werent available (which I was yet to find out). I was startgin to get upset because they left everything to the last minute no matter how many times I asked for things to be done in advance. Anyways I had to change things on the fly, which wasnt fun at all.
And the day just kept going on and on like that oen surprise after another...it wasnt fun at all. To make things more interesting when the coordinator came, she says hi to me and then starts tell me shes expecting more people than she thought and that she doesnt think its going to be enough food... (yes gary I almost through a chef tentrum when i heard that) What was she thinking? I said to her I dont have any more product to cook. You changed so many things so late int eh game...you cant say now there isnt enough food I bought the right amount for the right amount of people. Then she decided to change what she is selling adn what she is giving away for free...I just shook my head in amazment. A half hour before the party starts things are out and plated and imsetting up the table, when the lady comes back in the kitchen to tell me that she wants to change teh way i plated because she feels that she wants to charge more and since they bought the wrong plates, (they were too big) and I said fine so I replated 100 plates...not fun either....but they are paying me for double the amount of time i qouted because they were so nice to keep changing thigns on me and doing their ordering at the last minute.

ok so I did it..learnt a big lesson, DONT COUNT ON OTHERS TO DO THE JOB YOU KNWO YOU CAN DO RIGHT YOURSELF..LOL butI was proffesional, I kept my cool, tomorrow Ill pick up my money and it will all be ok after...Ill move on ot the next thing..otherwise I took some pictures and everyone enjoyed the food which was good. and thats what matters, but I learned what to do for the future.
