I helped serve drinks today at a reception for my boss four levels up. I know what you’re saying ‘You served drinks at a reception for the prime minister?’ ha ha. No, it was for the leader of a local concern.

So, I met Ada, Simon, and Kim. As guests I saw Anne L, Barb H, John M, Robert T, Carl Z, John T, and a few others. Also, Lynn, Dana, and Melinda were there.

No one drank any beer though we had stella, sleeman original draft, and sleeman cream ale. We served about three bottles of yellow tail shiraz, two of wolf blass yellow label carbernet sauvignon, and half bottles each of sacred hill sauvignon blanc and the little penguin chardonnay.

There was food too. All sorts of crackers, antipasto, cheeses and fruit. It was all barely touched, so we had a snack after the event.

At the end we had to set down the room.

It is interesting to meet other people in the organization. When it was done we took the food upstairs and people working late were grateful. It was fun and reminded me what I like about F&B.
