I am not as stealthy as a Ninja

I like to think that I am highly professional most moments of my life. What is interesting about my current life, is that I get to do a little bit of everything, meeting planning, table moving, buffet set up...if it needs to be done, sometimes I'm the only one around to do it. Today we have a very small meeting and so there was no need to pay to have servers here when I can  mess it up myself.

So here's how it went down. I load up everything the group will need for lunch onto a cart, so that I can just roll it into the room, drop it on tables, take the dirty dishes and break food away and get out of the room. Great plan right? The loading of the cart went well, but the rest, not so stealthy. I quietly near the door to the room with my cart, slowly turn the handle of the door and cccrrraaaaacccckk POP, well, now the door is open. I make my way into the room, smile at all the people who are now staring at me and get to work. As quietly as possible, I'm picking up break food, setting out lunch food, clearing trays of dirty dishes and refreshing water glasses. I move so smoothly and quietly the group is able to turn their focus back to the original topic. I'm feeling much better about this situation until I finish. I have to open that door again...no ninja status today.
