RE: The Week That Was (part 7)

If you can pull some more shifts at Centennial park that'd be decent.
If you're nervous about making mistakes, the grieving aren't hyper-critical when it comes to hospitality. They have other stuff on their minds.
Back in 96 I was sent there to do a military funeral.
We did the whole 21 gun salute thing, firing blanks up at the sky.

It would be pretty good. There was a moment where I had offered coffee and tea to one family, but the recently deceased must have been young and loved so they were in shock.

So, I changed my approach to be more of highlighting that coffee, tea and other nibbles were available and let them do their own thing.

It is a far more forgiving environment than the canteen I was working in yesterday, which was stressful for no reason.
