Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work I go

I just worked one of the most difficult groups of my career.  It was so much that it was hard but that their expectations were so high.  I knew the staff could pull it off but with my job, one thing goes wrong and it all comes down on me.  We had a couple of glitches but all in all we did a great job.  The group left happy and hugs were given when they left. 

It seems no matter how much preparation is done, it never seems to be enought.  I'm just glad it's over and now it's on to the next one. 

I've been lucky that I was able to take some time off after the group.  I worked 11 days in a row and on average 11 hours a day.  They did make me come into the hotel for a meeting that I really didn't need to be at.  Nothing like selling people on somethine they've already bought.

My First Post

I am new to blogging but thought this was a good way start releasing my  stress after working at a hotel all day. 

Working in a hotel is not all glamour.  When I was a kid I used to watch the TV series "Hotel".  They made it look so exciting.  Sometimes it is, other times it's torture. 

In my years in hotels, I have had the opportunity to meet some great people and also some real pains in the ass.  It's a business that once you're in, it's very hard to get out of.  They constantly dangle the money carrot in your face.   I would love to get out but at my age it's a little late to start over. 

I don't know what I will end up posting but names will be changed to protect the guilty and the innocent.

If anyone else there is in the industry I would love to hear your comments and stories as well.
