Because I am just THAT extra

The fancy cookies can't possibly be displayed on a paper plate so I got my stepstool out and retrieved this display plate and scrubbed it nice and clean


I mean if you're going to one-up someone's hospitality, may as well go all the way.

Though since there's no sink to do dishes besides the crappy one in the janitor's closet, eating plates and cups are paper/plastic. I'm not hefting my whole tea set to work and then back home

Quick update

Well, no one ate the cookies but they did have some of the drinks and I think the effort was appreciated.

I did ok but it was odd since three of the people didn't speak English so the fourth translated (so I had to force myself to speak slowly) and when our professor came, he also translated. I was proud of myself for recognizing the word "book" in Russian, though. lol

To solve the mystery of how I was suggested, originally Elaine was slated to talk to them so I'm guessing the faculty guy who I've met with before was the one that thought I'd be a good substitution. I'm sure Bosslady didn't say diddly.

Hopefully the group found their visit valuable and has a good time on the trip.
