Dish food & social , Lorrin speaking

Its been a while , maybe a while too long since I've put my thoughts to words on my Blog.

I have started doing my internship at a Catering and event management company located in Observatory from the 1st of October 2014 ,and so far have been loving every minute of it.

This post will mainly be about work , exams and adjustments ...anddd planning my 21st Birthday.

I have had great fun at the company i am interning at as the people here are lovely and all like a big family .. The first few weeks i was taught how to use their online catering software to be able to put quotes together and update their inventory and their menu prices , this has actually taught me a lot about what mark up needs to be put on prices and how much things actually cost.

On friday the 19th of October I was appointed as an assistant supervisor for an Old Mutual-wildlands event and worked a 14 hour shift. I had so much fun in that moment , being completely in my element.

Ive been back in the office this week where i have been helping the logistics manager with a few things in her section, the most lovely person i have met in a long time with such a nice heart .

Im looking forward to coming to visit and just chat to the staff once Ive completed my internship at the end of November

Highlights of working thus far

>  Being an assistant supervisor for an Old Mutual function
>  working with amazing people
>  staying in Pinelands in the week
>  getting most weekends off
>  Working with an awesome friend whom i know since high school


So between all of this i have been planning my 21st , actually in essence i planned my whole 21st in one day , this says a lot about the industry I'm going to be working in...

So basically it doesn't feel like my Birthday and i would have preferred not to do anything as i feel my Dad has given me enough in this life time ,but he has insisted on me having at least something it could be anything ,however i wanted it , whoever i wanted to invite ,just as long as i have something . With all that being said I planned the most cost efficient birthday party i could've thought of with hardly any formalities and i have just invited people who have been there for me through everything , As i believe its pointless to invite people just to fill a party but rather to have people that has had an influence on your life.

I have hardly been working in this industry but I have gotten so much items sponsored and I'm truly grateful to have people in my life that can offer so much for me including my current workplace.

 OH YESS and i passed all my final exams ,which means not a single rewrite since I started studying :) whoop whoooppp


fellow readers this is my last post as a 20 year old , even though it feels nothing like my birthday
tomorrow
