day 3 of work as a front office clerk at the hotel.standing on your feet for 8 hours at one shot with a 45 mins lunch break in between is not funny.honestly,there is much left to be desired in terms of service and professionalism from the staff.i guess every workplace has its culture,although i am off the opinion that this hotel has so much more to offer.

day 3 and i am tired.every lunch break seems like an amazing race to make sure i make it back in time and not get scolded.starting to make my mistakes checking guests in.they senior staff are rather patient but i'd rather not test their patience.

i was told today that this hotel sector is very demanding and i realised that when i go into it full time,it is going to take a lot of sacrifices.i started to wonder if i chose this line because i thought it was glitz and glamour of mingling with guests and working in a nice place.but everything is an appearance.as with any other profession.we all think being a model,fashion designer or even being a lawyer is glamourous.it earns us big bucks.but everything before our innocent,naive eyes is all an appearance.beneath the surface is hard work,sweat and blood.and as david said,nothing is ever easy,but its the interest in it that makes it easier to bear.

day 3.blood,sweat,tears.and more to come.
