Sep. 25th, 2009 10:05 amLast night was the defenders awards dinner. My boss got our dept a couple tickets so I went. Free food is always a good thing, right?
During the cocktail hour, very pushy servers kept shoving crab and salmon in my face. They kept interrupting conversations with their stinky meat trays. I guess it wasn't a big deal though. I wasn't having any important conversations. Just being nice to donors and vendors. It's especially important to be nice to the donors so they give us more money. :P
Then we were called into the main room for the ceremony. I was sat at the unpopular table. For the longest time, it was just me and a donor at the table. Eventually it filled up with other coworkers that were running the event. It was weird sitting by ourselves for so long though.
Dinner was good. There was a tasty salad, minus the green tomato and the figs. And then I had a fancy vegetarian moroccan pie of some sort. At first it was too sweet, until I realized I was supposed to pour the sauce they gave me on it. Then it was just right. Dessert was a tiny chocolate pudding thing, a tiny cake, and a tiny fruit tart. Each only one bite! They were very cute, but I wish there was more of the cake.
