So I carried a small thing of biscuits or lollies with me in my suite, but never thought of a protein bar! In the end I got a bit tired of it, so I worked out a way to get into the food without direct permission and without upsetting anyone.<br /><br />But at the funerals I have attended as a mourner (like the one in New Zealand recently) I have always made a point of inviting the staff to eat with us. And I have to say, after experiencing the mourner side of it I find people like it.

I've taken to keeping a protein bar in my suit pocket for emergencies! I find it amusing that when I am scheduling a funeral I point out the timing of meals and lunches, especially on a dual service. You can bet your bottom dollar we don't get offered anything at all! But, as they are leaving they'll say "did you get something to eat?" Ah no, but thank you for thinking of us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
