Food, food and more food If your event requires food the venue will send you a banqet event form and you will need to estimate the amount of food you need.

Where I used to work we had a Mailroom and I would plunk what I needed in a tray with a form to tell them how I wanted it to turn out and return to get it when it was finished. I am good at some things, but not as confident in other things. For instance, I am horrible at collating. I liked that. Now I have to do it myself.

If he is travelling, I send it by e-mail, but it has been my experience that I will get better results with a face-to-face meeting. Put it in a folder for your boss’s signature in completed form, i.e. envelope clipped to letter and attachments. I usually put a sticky note on it for that as well.

Without a goal to direct it, without a plan to make it something material, it will remain in its raw form. And every form of raw energy is a dangerous thing to play with. Less is more: less fear, anger and revenge will definitely make room for something else. Less is definitely more. And then a little bit more.

Nothing fancy, just a lot of windows, menus and forms. Sometimes validation comes in form of money. Sometimes it comes in form of emotional support. Bloggers seek validation from their commenters, restaurants seek validation from customers. Things were spiced a little bit by the fact that the terms were in French.

Embark on an unexpected travel. Maybe the trip turned out to be a fiasco because the budget exploded and now you have to do the dishes in a restaurant to pay for your plane ticket home (or, most likely, you ignored some very common sense rule and it turned out that rule was for real). Denial is a form of rejecting reality.

It’s always been with us in some form or another, just about. So I would definitely agree with you there. But generally speaking, there’s a chart that I cite in the book that compares I think it’s 97% pre pandemic levels with airplane travel, restaurants, sporting events, those types of things.
