Workforce Break Room and Meals

Lining up for the cafeteria style food.


The first place we would stop was for the delicious soups. We had a choice of two types of soups every lunch. The soup and bread was my favorite part of the meal.


This is a fellow volunteer I met during lunch one day. This is the hot drink area. We would have as much hot water, coffee, hot chocolate, and tea as we wanted. I started every shift with a cup of hot chocolate. I limited myself to one cup a day.


This is a picture from the back of the dining/break area. The breakroom really got full during lunch time. Timing was everything. If you weren't there early enough, you didn't have much of a choice. They usually had a hot meal available while it lasted, or one would have to settle for a cold sandwich or wrap. After eating sandwiches for 6 days straight, I was hoping for a hot meal. Sometimes I would get it, but most of the time I would have to make due with the sandwich.


This is a shot from the front of the mess tent. In the break room we had coverage of the Olympics being broadcasted on flat-screen TV's. I would watch the events every time I was in there, although it was hard to hear the commentary.


This meal was one of my favorite. Lasagna and salad. They had a choice of fruit and granola bar with each meal as well as a beverage. Many times I would save the bar and banana for later in the shift. I usually had either water or orange juice. I was very good. I did not have any soda. I have given soda up since last June. Because Coke was an official sponsor, it was free during lunch.


This was a Thai chicken wrap. It was tasty, but I had to eat the inside with a fork because there was too much wrap. I think that I started getting sick of the carbs. I was thankful for a free meal everyday.
