The last three days have been... crazy! I've stepped into my new role as dining room Team Leader - and it has gone very well, I've just managed to keep myself stressed out trying to not let anything bad happen... ha! but it's been fun, my team is great and I feel very supported. Wahoo!
Last night instead of a regular meal we had a barbecue on the dock - it was nice for a change, but alot of running up and down the looong staircase gangway! We also ran out of food, which was the fault of the galley not the dining room, but since it's my team that gets to handle the majority of complaints, it was still a pain. BUT, everyone managed to eat something, and we didn't have to clean up the dining room!
My team is down to four people. At one point we had seven, which was heavenly and we were getting done with clean up about a half an hour after the meal finished. This morning, with our 4-person team, it took us a good solid hour and a half to clean up. Blerg. But now we're off until dinner time! I am thankful we don't serve lunch on weekends!
Okay, so my question to you now, my faithful readers, is what do you want to know?? About life on the Africa Mercy, my previous life in Benin, or anything, really? Please, I'm running out of things to talk about, and it would be nice to know if people actually read my blog, anyway! So click the little 'comment' box at the bottom of this entry and send me something. Anything, really. But know that it will be posted for all to see.... which won't be a problem if no one actually reads this. Besides mom, I know you read it. Thanks for the letters every week. :)
