The definition of NOT MY JOB

I think I may have found my calling! Well that is how I felt the first 2 hours at work today. Today I was put in a completely different job area. Instead of being in the bar, I was working with the events crew. Which sounded like so much fun when my job called me into work 2 hours early. Even though I didn't know that was what I would be doing when they called me. 

So I get to work and my manager is all excited to tell me where I will be working. I had to assist in prepping the conference rooms. Which I later found out, the rooms we had to set up all had a minimum of 30 people. Oh, and they were back to back. So we had to essentially run from one side of the hotel with a shit ton of stuff, to the next. Now I was assisting one woman. Who was the main person to do everything. At least tonight she was. Not only is she in personal contact person for the people hosting the events, but she sets up and cleans up everything. By herself. A bitch would never!

I mean I would if they where paying me a shit ton. But the crazy thing is, they actually have an event coordinator. Like what even do you do? Cause she ain't never there to help set up or clean up. So I was telling the woman that she should have other people helping her. She says sometimes the kitchen people help out and the managers do help as well. Which is a huge shock for me. Because that is NOT what I am used to. But the managers do so much more than manage, They help run food. They help clear all the tables. They run drinks, and sometimes even bartend when needed. I think that's pretty fucking great of them to do that. Because it's not just when we are overly booked. It's an everyday thing, That is why it amazes me so much. Not to mention they have their own jobs to do as well.

Anyway, I was telling her that there should be a whole department for this, Because 4 people working an event and still prepping or clearing other events at the same time was tricky. I don't even want to image how she feels doing this during the busiest time of the day BY HERSELF nonetheless. I literally spent 8.5 hours setting up and clearing out though. At the end of the night, I was in charge of 4 different rooms by myself. I had to clear out 2 and reset 2. I was tired as hell at the end. But on the plus side, I got the chance to see what an event coordinator does. Well the logistic side that is. Also another plus, When thy have an event schedule for a specific amount of people and a lot of those people don't come. SO they have leftover food. We get to eat it. LOL. Granted, I don't know what the hell I ate tonight, but it was soo good. The appetizer and the entree. 

I might do it again though. As long as they hire a few extra people to help. They should have a setting crew and a clearing crew. That way we can turn the conference rooms quicker when it's busy. And it really helps with the back. Because going back and forth and back and forth is not what's up. Team work makes he fucking dream work.

Here's some sexy photos

Me having mad acrobatic skills. I got that boom boom pow!

I don't know how they got my Champagne glass, but it's there. All in it's 3ft glory. Also, I find it sad that I can remember how to spell champagne but still have to sound out Wednesday in order to spell it. #boozehag4life

And this is what I had for dinner this evening. But what is it? Duck? Lamb? Beef? I will never know. Or probably care either.
