A messy week

This week has been a really difficult week for me, as my business was overwhelmed by more students at the restaurant during this winter semester at the uni. There has been such a tremendous influx of students, the highest we had was on Thursday. It was around 580 students within 2 hours. It was like overcoming hungry soldiers just coming back from war. It was getting out of control. I was so exhausted as was my team to combat this crowd.

so the next day I started to organize some more help from adecco and reorganize my team in task allocation. I started to simplify tasks so in that way, I can move faster to cater to this crowd. Last year we had around 300 people around this time. But now it has nearly doubled. Talking about being stress resistant. Felt really numb with so much work and more coordination. Within half hour, we were nearly sold out so that I needed to organize the cook to cook easy food to serve. Everything was swept empty after the crowd left, they left us so exhausted.

I am glad for such a good attendance and business is picking up more and more each day. But I am also needing more personnel to conquer this kind of crowd. So at that day on Thursday, my supervisor came in after the lunch when the crowd has left. He started to critized me of things and place false accusations on me. I do not really know why, as I told him the problem that I need more workers and that I cannot overcome this crowd with my exsisting. It seems that there is some kind of plan he is shielding from me. Because my main profession is not a cook, he is trying to get in a cook who can do both, cooking and running the place. So that would mean it would be better off for his budget for the restaurant. (I got to know this after the meeting) I had so much anger and sadness, as I know that despite of whatever success this business bring and whatever I do the management will always find fault cos they are hiding another agenda.

So... I need prayers.

When the enemy comes against us like a flood, God will raise up a standard against it and as you abide under the shadow of the Almighty, He will protect you and what is yours.
