If you are a hotel events coordinator…

May 28, 2004 Stephanie Leary

… and you were contracted four months ago for a ceremony and reception, you really cannot wait until two days before the wedding to decide that your events room will hold only enough chairs for 2/3 of the guests.

You just can’t.

If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go dismantle a couple of people and feed the itty bitty bits of their remains to my goldfish. Of course I’ll have to purchase a goldfish first, but at this point that’s a very minor obstacle.

    You could always just feed the bits to the GIANT KILLER KOI at Haiku here in CS. :)

    Or just dump the coordinator into the water on the riverwalk.

    Working on the layout demands and the negative publicity.

    The koi are my backup plan.
