When you're prepared, there's little that cn get past you.<BR/><BR/>Stella taught me something: When there's nobody in charge, take charge. <BR/><BR/>A few years ago at a conference in San Jose, the hotel seemed to have neglected to tell the bartender he would be serving a very large number of women on Saturday night. Either that or someone had decided we were acually a conference of Women's Temperence Workers. Anyway, there are only one bartender and no one waiting tables. The orders piled up and people started getting testy. <BR/><BR/>Stella stood up, took drink orders from everyone at our table then walked to the bar, where she attempted to deliver her collected order to him.<BR/><BR/>He responded in terms I shall call "generically indifferent". I'll let you figure out what that means.<BR/><BR/>Stella, in her even, genteel, British fashion, requested something along the order of a request for him to please step aside, as she happily take over his duties for him.<BR/><BR/>Drinks were served. But it still took Stella to organize everyone into a waiting line.<BR/><BR/>The lady's amazing.Delle Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551688823035092802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141896152701041164.post-52041429281586053642009-01-26T14:09:00.000-08:002009-01-26T14:09:00.000-08:00Excellent advice for staying on top of things: Wri...Excellent advice for staying on top of things: Writer, promoter, interior designer, caterer...Jessa Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569827979530923930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141896152701041164.post-44851537997989793902009-01-25T22:25:00.000-08:002009-01-25T22:25:00.000-08:00Lisa, hooray for you!

She is incredible!<BR/><BR/>I have also learned to always carry my own books (heard that from Doreen Hight) and my own detail-oriented personality carts along highlighters and other office supplies and chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate--as well as freebies and a basket of goodies to raffle off to those who sign up to be on my mailing list. <BR/><BR/>Now, you have me curious enough to go check out your other blogs...Genene Valleau, writing as Genie Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565138811080005830noreply@blogger.com
