What a week it was in the Hotlanta! First of I was super excited as I was with my partner in crime Tricia....again! This is seriously like the 5th assignment we have had together this year....she has people on the team that she hasn't worked with in her 2 years on the team and she has gotten to see my face multiple times! It was a great week in Atlanta, the team was awesome! We arrived to a very personable, passionate and fun staff, the GM was awesome her huddles in the morning where nothing short of amazing...motivating, inspirational and a very welcomed start to my day.
Before arriving we had discussed that with this 2 trainer model Tricia would do FOSSE training and since she would only be a short walk down the hall I would take on the Bistro! I couldn't have asked for a better team in the Bistro. We had such a great week together! From our morning Rihanna Work, work, work, workout, cocktail shaking face and family dinner on the last day of training....it was sure a week that I won't forget anytime soon and a group of people that will always have a very special place in my heart!
The week also brought Joe up from FL to visit us, Kelli in town at the Marriott City Center and Cole in town with her family. We got to meet up with Kelli on Thursday night along with Joe, we went to Dave and Buster's and had a blast just being big kids for awhile. Then the next night the ladies got to meet up to go to the Braves Game...they were playing the Cubs so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to go! It isn't often that their are so many of us in a town so it was nice to get to spend time with Kelli, who I don't know very well, and she my buddy Cole, she always makes my heart smile!
This team was amazing! We started with 7 and narrowed it down to the "Fabulous 5"...they are a small group but OH SO mighty!
Kelli and Joe playing some shooting game....Kelli had never handled a gun so she said...she was doing pretty well!
HAHAHAHA...Tricia's picture as Luigi in her head to head battle with Joe!
Joe's picture as Yoshi!!!
Here are Joe and Tricia as the Ghostbusters!!
Kelli and I needed a turn!
Tricia and I with our unhappy face having to wait for the train on our way to the baseball game! I can't ever hold a straight face as we take a selfie and she has her serious face on!
Courtney (one of the front desk guys) also worked at Kroger...we took a "who is this" picture!
Family dinner with the Bistro team on the last day....we drank our water out of wine glasses and ate like kings and queens....shared laughs....and learned a lot about each other!
Sitting in the Bistro doing my observation on opening night and I heard someone say they were looking for Kandi...I though oh no!!!! Then I saw this beautiful face come to the table....Shanice was the AGM at the TPS I opened in Hattiesburg with the one and only Queen (this was the hotel when I graduated the Zirkle school of training...and became a real trainer)!!!
During cocktail training I told the team that the Modern (our version of the Old Fashion) is my favorite. They had a rocks glass etched that says "Kandi....She's a Modern Chik" and on the back says Thanks ATLDU Crew! THE MOST AWESOME GIFT I HAVE EVER GOTTEN....they also got me a pack of scented markers...amazing!
The GM got me a bracelet that said "Free Spirit"....couldn't describe me any better! :)
