Yep, woke up again this morning with a phone call from the hotel.  One of the sporting teams, about 8 rooms, asked for a late check out….at 1pm.   Our check out time is at 12 noon. Ok, I’ve seen it one hundred times especially being at an airport…extra early check in requests and late check [...]

Never a dull moment even on my day off.  Well, as I thought and said, even with the “Waivers” signed by each sports guest and all of our policies explained by the Front Desk Personnel at check in, the sporting team kids took over the hotel.  We have about 50 rooms each night in over [...]

What a long day.  Two tour buses checking in this evening after 9pm.  Sporting teams checking in all day long…..making reservation changes, additions, oh my.  Kids roaming about with nothing to do…parents missing?  
I felt like a reservationist all day.  I fiddled around in Opera to make and change their reservations. I’m so slow since I am [...]

Made it through another day.  STILL the office renovations are annoying and distracting and not yet completed.  I watched another almost fatal crash as the metal from the ceiling swiped past the Administrators desk just missing her.  Believe me, it would of hurt.  She steered clear after that…but she had nowhere to go, nothing to [...]

A client of mine was killed in a car accident a couple weeks ago.  I didn’t find out until today.  I was devastated.  I had to fight with myself to get back on track and complete my goals of the day.  It was hard to focus since we also lost an employee this past Friday.  Even [...]

The Sales Office renovations are almost done - I think.  Still no phone but I managed to bounce around at other people’s desk to pull off my messages.  When I couldn’t get on a phone, I plugged mine back in… that is… after I climbed past the ladders and equipement and crunched underneath the scaffolding.

I was very busy today.  I’m not sure though how much time I actually spent selling.  Let’s see…….I turned on my computer to find a green screen.  What the heck happened?  Still usable so I overlook it.  Then the wallpapering and painting started. 
By noon, my desk was moved and I had no phone……searching for a [...]

The military convention had a great time.  All will check out but 3 rooms tomorrow. I stopped in tonight to check on their banquet and to see their entertainment that they hired that I recommended.  They were dancing and laughing.  I was pretty proud.
I was so tired from a long week that I didn’t even [...]

Boy I have so much to say about today that I don’t know where to start. 
First, the smell of the paint, stain and glue made me nauseous in the office.  I found it almost impossible and after taking two aspirin for my headache, I finally left the office and accomplished nothing.  Then the paint and [...]

YES!  There is a Sales God!  Finally internet.  I think I rocked the world for a moment with my excitment……BUT……  My glory was short lived though when 2 of the Maintenance Staff told me I had to vacate my office for an hour and a half.  WHAT!  Right in the middle of prime selling time.  UNBELIEVABLE.
