Today (Friday) was like going to the gym with a free membership, walking into work knowing that I was going to be working with Jerry the ICA, what I did not know was how many different muscles I would be using. An ICA which stands for Inventory Control Assistant, is the person that checks-in the inventory once the vendors arrive at the dock. Jerry told us that there are nine vendors that deliver to McMahon dining hall. They are: Sysco, Diana's bakery, Fowler/BeanBo, HBC-hartford, Grillot, Centeral Warehouse, Commissary, and another one I can't remember Eastern something or another.
Sysco-main vendor
Diana's Bakery- local bakery: bagels and donuts
Fowler/BeanBo- produce
HBC-hartford: meat, cheese, chicken, hamburgers, and hotdogs
Grillot-milk
Centeral Warehouse: toilet paper, chemicals, bathroom stuff, cleansers, and paper-goods
Commissary- deli meats, desserts, breads (from the bakery)
Once the trucks would unload the products Jerry would allow us to check off the inventory that we recieved, he would sign for the sheet, and then we helped him put away the delivery. With FIFO (First In First Out) in mind, we were able to put the food away correctly. A couple of the vendors did not arrive, but due to the Sysco's large order, we had a great understanding of inventory procedures.
Gretchen and I had a good chunk of the afternoon to plow through a large amount of our luncheon project, we successfully obtained cuisines/origines/regions that we will be using. But once again we hit a rock block and realized that we need to talk with John Kuhl on Tuesday to continue moving forward.
Later Friday evening we had an adventurous time trying to rent movies, but after a couple of fails we finally managed to rent 4 movies from Block Buster.
Saturday: we went to Gayle's Volleyball party and later that night we continued with movie night.
Sunday: we took a Rhode Island road trip, now that was an adventure. Once we got there we ate at Joe's Bar & Grill (Delicious!!!!) we then headed out onto the streets to see what was out there. Gretchen and I wanted to visit the Johnson and Wales Culinary Museum, while Mahalia wanted to shop at the Providence Place mall, so we went our separate ways only to meet back in a few hours. Once reunited we took pictures at the State Capitol. All in all today was a relaxing day embraced with the company of each other. Hoping for another GREAT work week, and I can already see that it's off to a great start with having Monday off. Have a safe Memorial Day everyone.
