Welcome to Campus Dining Services

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Campus Dining Services!

Attached, please find a document called "Dining Hall Managers".  This
is your contact list for all of the food service operations on campus,
including directions to the office where you need to report and punch
in for all shifts.

A few reminders:

Your shift belongs to you.  If you are unable to make your shift, you
are required to find a substititute for yourself, as well as keeping
your manager informed of your efforts.  First line is to post a sub
slip at least 5 days before the date of absence.  A second option
would be checking the sub-list on-line at
http://www.oberlin.edu/cds/employment/substitute.html and making
contact via phone, email, or in person with your fellow students to
see if someone is available to work for you.  Report directly to the
manager on the status of your substitution the day before the date of
absence.
If you are ill and must call off sick, you must do so by phone direct
to a manager on duty at a minimum of 2 hours before your scheduled
work time.  Emailing is not an option.  Do not contact me - I am not a
manager.  You are permitted to leave voice mail if your call is made
in plenty of time ahead and direct to the Dining Hall in which you are
scheduled.
Make sure you arrive for your shift in time enough so that you are
ready in your working position at your scheduled time.  If your
schedule says 5:00, you need to arrive early enough before 5:00 to
wash your hands, get your hair net on, punch in, and be in place to
perform your work when the clock says 5:00.
Pants have to be long ones, shoes must cover your toe and heel, shirts
must have at least a short sleeve and cover your middle even when you
raise up your arms.  Neat and clean is required.
Use of cell phones, ipods, or any electronic device is prohibited
while on the clock.
Please avoid bringing valuables to work with you.  Although action is
being taken to improve security, Oberlin College and CDS are not
responsible for goods lost or stolen while on the clock.
If you have not done so already, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR TAX
PAPERWORK with the Student Employment Office in Carnegie.  You can not
get a paycheck until you do so.  If you have ever received an Oberlin
College pay before, you do not have to re-do this paperwork, but it
must completed once!  I need to be notified via email when this has
happened.  More information is available at:
http://new.oberlin.edu/office/student-employment/

To further clarify your responsibilities as an employee, a copy of the
student manual is also attached.  This manual will provide you with
basic information regarding all CDS Student Employment policies in
general.  Do not hesitate to contact any manager to discuss the
details of any issue you may have.

If you have questions or aggravations about your work, the schedule,
or pay, please contact me at this email address, by phone at
440-775-8101, or stop in to see me on the first floor of Stevenson,
Griswald entrance.

Happy Spring!

The Kittiwakes at FR on Fri, 26th Feb

Dear Forest Roots

If you came in from the cold and were at last months Forest Roots you
were certainly warmed up by all the fantastic acts that performed so a
big thankyou to The Bonfire Band, TenStringFever, Nick Pickett,
Whatever Next, Stew Simpson, Annie, Richard and Sue, Angus and last
but not least, David who gave the address to the haggis.  Let's hope
they come back and perform for us again soon. Oh yes, and a special
thankyou to Stan Gordon for doing the sound and Mark McGlynn for
sorting it when it went wrong.
       Lots of you said what a good night it was but you are all in
for another treat this month with the Kittiwakes, an english folk trio
singing truly evocative self-penned songs inspired by the Lofoten
Islands. You can check them out at www.thekittiwakes.com.

looking forward to seeing you all

stay forever young

Jenny and Caroline

Short breaks in London with a Show | London Theatre Breaks





Short breaks in London with a Show
February 12, 2010 at 2:44 PM


Short breaks in London with a show are a great choice for mid-week or weekend holidays. Here are my top 3 recommendations for shows this coming Spring.  Couples who just want to see a show as part of a trip to London, perhaps as part of a special occasion have lots of choice when it comes to shows and things to do.  London is a great place for  short breaks and there is a lot for couples to do and see. There are all the art galleries, lots of classy shops and, of course, the sights of London. That’s the thing about the capital it’s still fun even if you’ve seen it all before. Short breaks in London with a Show th! eatrebreaksoccasion 300x233

When you are choosing the show for your short break I’ve got three top recommendations for you at the moment.

Choose Your Show

Les Miserables

Short breaks in London with a Show lesmiserables.thumbnailIn your position I’d go for Les Miserables as a first choice. Tickets have got a little bit trickier to get hold of due to the SuBo effect but the theatre break agencies still have plenty of availability. If you can be flexible about your dates and can travel mid-week there are some brilliant deals for Les Miz. Traveling mid-week also gives you a good choice of 3* and 4* hotels at very reasonable rates.  Les Miserables is one of the longest running shows but it still remains one of the best. People always seem to enjoy it a! nd it still seems as fresh as it ever was.

Dress Code: best frock or jeans, this is London – no one cares!

Hair

However if semi-classical score is not to your taste you could try revisiting the 60s and trying something brand new but re-cycled. Hair is coming to the West End in April and it’s going to be huge. This is the full Broadway revival production, all singing, all dancing, full of colour, life and energy, just like time traveling back to those days. They say if you remember the 60s you weren’t there but Hair is all that you might have missed and more. There is flower power, hippies and The Age of Aquarius, not to mention a bit of nudity and other, rather innocent naughtiness! Dress code: Afghan waistcoats, bell bottoms and patchouli (only kidding!). Though it might not be a bad choice of costume if you want to join in with the onstage party at the end of the show:

Jersey BoysShort breaks in London with a Show jerseyboys theatrebreaks 150x150

Maybe  Jersey Boys is more your scene, sing along as you watch the story of Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons unfold. Walk Like a Man, Sherry Baby, and a host of other tunes you’ll enjoy discovering you still know all the words to are woven into the story of five young lads from New Jersey.

Dress code: Very snazzy Trilby hats available in the foyer of the theatre

So there you are three top shows to choose from, all of them ideal to fit in with your short breaks in London with a show.
