A day at the Crowne Plaza

Yesterday are LMP class all went to the Albany Crowne Plaza. We met with the the general manager Todd Reichelt who was very nice and told us about what he does as the general manager in the crowne plaza and he also introduced us to the reservations department and the engineering department. Everyone was really nice and kind I had a good time, I was just annoyed at the fact that we didnt get to see any of the rooms or suites. But other than that I had a good time and if we do go back I really want to see the suites next time.

A Busy Day At The Marriott

Yesterday at the Marriott I was put in the kitchen where I put dirty glass ware through the dish washer. After that everyone in the kitchen ended up disappearing and there was nothing else to do. So Ms. Menzies ended up sticking me in banquets where I set up tables with the necessary silver ware which was three forks on the left side, two butter knives on the right and one teaspoon next to the knives on the right of them. Also we had to put out coffee cups and plates lastly we set napkins in a certain folding technique to look fancy. After all that I had to go stack chairs in stacks of ten so that the other employees could take them out a lot easier.

That was my busy day at the Marriott. What I learned yesterday was the correct setup and placement of utensils also how to correctly fold napkins. This is important because if I ere to start working in the banquets department I would already know how to set these up and it would give me one more thing that I have under my belt which equals more experience.

Another Day At The Marriott

Yesterday at the Marriott I was working in the kitchen I worked with Carlos. He was a nice guy who told me that he wanted me to cut up potatoes for a small party. After that I got to use the slicer to slice some vegetables which I can't remember the names of two of them but the third was red onions. The only problem I had was that the onions while I was in the midst of slicing them really got to me and started to really irritated my eyes til the point where my eyes were getting watery. Also while I was cutting up the potatoes I sliced my thumb about four times but it was ok cause they didn't go deep. That was my day at the Marriott yesterday.
