OT: I served Lloyd Carr dinner tonight

This probably isn't boardworthy, but it was cool/funny to see the middle aged adults at his table hanging on his every word like little kids do. Plus I'm still excited at my luck. I didn't say anything to him, and I didn't eavesdrop, because I'm not like that. The only thing football-related I overheard him say was that he thought Tate was absolutely great, but if it were up to him Cone would get more playing time after his performance against DSU.

Disclaimer: One of these sentences is true only in my heart.

Well speaking for League catering it is shitty shitty shitty. Almost all our most experienced and best employees are recent graduates. We're going to have to hire a bunch of newbies, who won't have the benefit of learning from the best so there are going to be major major growing pains and there's just no way it's going to be as good as it is now.

That's about what I figured the all-around response would be.

I keep no secret about my identity here, nor the fact that I catered the Union. I have a few friends there that are getting, for lack of a better phrase, royally fucked in the ass in this situation. I understand UU's need/desire/compulsion to be a student employer, but the way they're treating loyal employees of three, four, even five or more years is just absurd.

They pride themselves on the level of their service and then they turn around and take the very people responsible for providing said service and put them flat on their asses, out of a job. It defies all logic.

Y'all should band up and go talk to Keith Soster - or, better yet, John Taylor - about the whole thing. Give'em hell ;)

I used to be a catering server and bartender at the League, from about 01 to 04. That was an awesome college job, I probably spent 50% of my time there intoxicated at some level. Went back about 3 years ago on a break from a recruiting trip and apparently everybody I knew had been fired due to some scandalous orgy involving the rugby team. Good times.

I used to play rugby at the U and actually was at the League that night that the alleged incident took place that resulted in the firing of some friends.

There wasn't an orgy, just a lovely wedding that shared an adjacent ballroom to a rugby banquet that allegedly viewed a member of said team having intercourse on the balcony in plain view of the wedding reception.

And no, I was not the alleged player, although I did have a great time that night.

Don't get me wrong, I love rugby players; lived with a member of the club back in grad school, dated some rugby players.... they clean up nice but when you get them together in a group you don't put 'em anywhere with nice furniture, or nearby genteel bridal parties.

Six times over the two years I acted as a server (I did little serving when I became a student manager).

The implication is there yes, however - that's not necessarily something I would take the time to remember unless serving her multiple times (and I didn't catch on until the third). Serving as a caterer is very, very different from serving in a restaurant.

I think it's extremely telling that Lloyd was silent as to the quality of his meal. Lloyd Carr could clear up this controversy about whether he enjoyed his beef tenderloin at the end of the meal by stopping MeJungleChop, and saying "Mr. Chop, I thought the beef was delicious, tender, and juicy - you and your co-workers are truly a credit to the food-service industry." However, Mr. Carr has chosen to remain silent on this matter. It makes me think he's leading the secret cabal that seeks to undermine the Union Caterers.
