A life of contrasts

On Friday I had a important meeting with a funder on the audit and progress of a number of issues surrounding £157k's worth of work. Important and high level, with phases like "strategic" and "public pound" and "service level agreement" peppering the conversation it felt work of value and the kind of thing a Chief Executive would do.

On Saturday I was part of the team supporting a Wedding catering and function being held at CCH. Tasks ranged from plating food, serving, tiding -up and generally helping to make sure that the event went well, and that guests enjoyed the event.

A life of contrasts perhaps, but in reality each vital in it's own way to the operation, reputation and future of CCH. Sometimes these things happen over the course of a few days, but I have also had these extremes within a working day (and is the reason why I always keep a pair of jeans and T-shirt in the office, as well as the business suit!). Who can say working in a social enterprise is routine???
