Madness at work!

So ... ok ... my cooking team last week was made up of 4 cooks (including me), 1 salad team lady and 3 day volunteers.

The day volunteers do different things,

one is assigned to wash up and spends just about all his time doing that,

one is the cook for the ward meals, the patients get different food than the crew, they get African stuff, cause the idea is that they like that more than what we get

the last one, does a little of everything really, sometimes we get him to help us, sometimes to he helps the ward cooking.

Ok, so it has been decided that the salad team will be no more and that that role will be made into the cooks roles, and we will just have to do that as well. In theory this means that we would get 1 more cook, to make our team 5.

So last week one of our team left to go home, as did the salad lady!!!

So you do the maths ... yup that 5 to 3!!! Just to add to this our team leader has gone home to Ghana for the week! thankfully we got a cook from the other team, but that still means we have a team of 3 whereas last week we had 5!

So lets just say it was a little busy! breaks in the morning and afternoon were no more and we had to cut down lunch and dinner breaks, but God is good!!! He provided me with all the strength i needed and even two days off to follow!

However i have more madness to look forward to, i now have to work fri, sat and sun with just the 3 cooks again, so im sure more hard work, but hopefully for the crews sake the food will still be upto our high standards :)
