Bravo! Last year the husband ...Well HRN: Well said! Bravo! Last year the husband (he's a DOP) had a Pharmacy Department party for his staff, he decided to order an entire catered lunch with enough food to cover both shifts and three very expensive yummy pies and cookies from a great local bakery, so I didn't have to cook or take time to do the ordering myself. I was busy with my own holiday party gigs, so it was sweet of him! <BR/><BR/>Next evening he comes home, I ask how did the party/feed go? He gives me a look that could have killed... after about 5 minutes of snorting and huffing, he sits down in the dining room to tell his story...<BR/><BR/>Turns out that when the caterer delivered the food and put the spread went out, he had to go to a Manager's Meeting over lunch time, but told everyone-- "Save me some food, as I want to eat our lunch. I'll be back in 45 minutes." <BR/><BR/>40 Minutes later he returns to the Pharmacy Conference Room to find 3 nurses from one of the floors, loading up their Tupperware with all of the remaining food, and one carrying off an entire pie! <BR/><BR/>When he asks them "Who invited you to my staff luncheon?" They begin to get bitchy and tell him it's "None of your business!" That's when things got interesting... He then proceeds to tell them, "The lunch and this spread is for my pharmacy department staff only. I personally paid for it. Put all of the food back and leave-- now!" Then they start to get even more rude, and starts throwing the food back on the table, he nearly went orbital. Next he walks over to the phone and publicly pages for the DON. Now the theives begin to scatter-- only to be met at the door by the DON, who just happened to be around the corner... When she asks what's up-- my husband points to the food now tossed and thrown all around the conference table-- and explains the situation. The DON was not amused... <BR/><BR/>Long story short... she highly suggested they repay him for the meals-- or else. <BR/><BR/>Husband was so upset he never ate. That was the last in-house luncheon, dinner or celebration he ever had for his staff inside the hospital.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-28888900015033441272009-01-07T09:59:00.000-08:002009-01-07T09:59:00.000-08:00Oh HELL yes.
