what a day… where to find the silver lining in it…?

this is my first blog – heard about wordpress last night, and thought i might give it a bash – and boy is this the right day for it.

i can’t begin to explain the shit day i’ve had – starting off with a hotel that had not been booked for a client. a honeymoon couple… i should mention at this point that i work for an inbound tour operator, so we organise holidays for people to all parts of our country… which you can imagine is a small disaster, not only for the clients, but also for me. And the arrogant tour guide doesn’t really help (do they always forget who pays their salary?) … anyway – we found them another place to stay, nicer, and are including dinner and wine etc – which doesn’t do good things for the budget.

after that, another booking where a hotel was booked and we underquoted because of a currency conversion problem… and the clients are travelling in 5 days time this is the type of mistake i really don’t enjoy!!! so a lot of sweet talking needs to happen, and a lot of begging the universe to please come and help…

one loses sight of the fact that my team made lots of bookings that are running very smoothly, but because that’s what’s supposed to happen, we don’t realise it.

anyway – the good news that i’m trying to focus on is dinner with some good friends in about an hour, and hopefully a quick stop at the mgym in between. i went to the men’s room earlier to go and scream – at about the time that my head couldn’t actually take any more information – but of course there was a guy at the urinal. so i couldn’t scream. imagine! he would have pissed all over the walls in fright!

and that concludes my first blog. may the next one be more up beat
