Eat Before going to that party!
When going
for a party, it is generally believed that you don’t have to eat anything when
leaving home. Of course there will be lots of food to whet your appetite there.
I have long done away with this notion after some bad experiences. With all the
anticipation of looking all glam for an event, much energy is put into looking
your best, then on getting to the much prepared for wedding. You realize hunger
pangs from your belly while witnessing the union between the Bride and the Groom,
you tell yourself it’s too early to be hungry, but the other person sitting
next to you hears the rumble of your stomach and smiles at you in an
understanding way telling you the reception would soon begin. That would be
quite embarrassing.
Now at the reception
the usual wait for all to be settled begins. The aroma of various continental
dishes hit your nostrils, and you begin to wonder when the waiters will start
serving. As a popular saying goes ‘A hungry man is an angry man’. You unconsciously begin to blame everyone
that comes to your sight. You somehow notice the Waiters, how they move so
sluggishly. The carters: why they have to attend to others while your request is
still on hold. The Drink Guys to top it all off seems to be avoiding your
table. Finally your order arrives and it’s just served in some very little
quantity, so you pull the waiter and ask for another plate of food ever before
you begin eating at all. When satisfied you start wondering why the handsome
guys on the other table didn’t even look your way, despite all your efforts in
looking your best. Sorry dear, you just
got carried away in satisfying your appetite that you forgot you had a
reputation to protect. If you had just kept some snacks in your bag, or eaten
light before you left for the venue this entire catastrophe wouldn’t have
happened at all.
Ushers avoid starving
Ushers should also take this advice and get
prepared for a job, by eating well before coming. Unlike the guests, the
situation with the usher who doesn’t eat before coming to work is worse. You
know it is only on few occasions that you meet people who will ask if you have
eaten before the event, they called you there to work. The event planners have
other things to worry about than a hungry usher. An event can start by 1 pm and
ushers don’t get to eat until 6pm or even later. That means you are on
high-heels, attending to people while your strength is draining of you. Even
your smiles starts to look like a frown when the stomach soldiers begin their riot
and your pleasant attitude begins to
turn sour. A worse scenario is when you end up fainting right in front of the
entire guests. The bride and groom may not find it easy forgiving you for turning
their day of joy into a chaotic one, just because you didn’t do one important
thing. Eating before leaving home.
