Banquets with Kristy

February 24th, I was in Banquets with Kristy. Since the Marriott is short staffed Kristy was found doing many different jobs. She talked about how to set up the different meeting rooms. Kristy is the Director of banquets, she is also Debra right hand lady. We went through the alcohol room while Kristy was taking in a delivery. She has to make sure that everything is right and that the delivery is what they orderded. She is often very busy because payroll was cut due to the economic times. Kristy is doing a very good job of keeping up banquets. She is always very busy.
This was a very cool experience.

the desmond

Yesterday on February 3rd, I went to the Albany Desmond and cooked with the kitchen crew. I met with the head chef, he was amazingg. I was with Sandy all day, she was a very interesting but also a lot of fun. I learned so much and I made a huge salad with one of the supervisors, Dave. He was very talented and had a great personality. I really liked the kitchen crew at the Desmond, they were a great group of people. What characters!. The experience yesterday was a great one and I'm really glad I got to go. The desmond is a beautiful property and the people are wonderful.
