That looks absolutely delicious! Very nice! We have a couple big events like this, but honestly, I don't think they every turn out quite as nice as yours! We have opening day breakfast for all of the staff and then we have a summer school board barbeque. For me, they are always awkward, but I am just socially awkward anyway. I know if probably doesn't seem like it based on our interactions here, but I am kind of a totally different person in real life than I am online. Which is a whole different issue I guess...
We have some socially awkward people too and it's happened in previous roles as well. I think the key to dealing with that is to be very inclusive and respectful; that's not just on management either, but everyone. I'm lucky to have a really great team who are easy to get a long with, happy to be here and to get involved.
That sounds like a great atmosphere. I say I am socially awkward, but it isn't usually something that one or two glasses of whisky can't fix!
Yeah, that's often the case...and a bottle works better huh?
Maybe when I was younger! A bottle would put me out these days!
