Cripes! I still hurt from yesterday's 12 hour shift.
The secret location happened to be a home in Lake Forest for the CEO of Motorolla's Cellular division. The event itself, and get this, was for the American Cancer Society. Even more impressive is that this was the first time in history that they have ever held an event in Illinois, and our company was picked out of thousands of others to do the catering. And because these were big time VIPs, there was tons of pressure to get everything *just* right. Not that there isn't usually, but this was huge. We even had to subcontract for more waiters and were still shortstaffed. All in all, I'd say there were about 75 of us there last night, waiters and cooks alone.
I don't think I've ever seen that many people with that kind of money in my life. Made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and lowly. Especially when some big dude from AT&T "accidently" knocked over a glass and it broke, and then flagged my supervisor over. *sigh* Everyone else was pretty nice, though, in that "I don't see you, I don't hear you, you are not even here except for to give me what I want" kind of way.
I'll tell you one thing: this job isn't doing much to change how I feel about rich people.
