This may give you an idea of why I had a 13 hour day of work today! These projects are no where near complete, and I know they sound small but a lot goes into them. We left work a wee-bit early and went off campus to meet Rick at a restaurant to discuss Rocky Mountain Concessions. We planned the menu for the Gun Show and the Summer Fair. We decided on products, mapped out the overall production plan, and chose prices based on the current price of our inventory through eSysco. This took about 4.5 hours, followed by pizza!
