A Day in the Life... The Other Side of the Travel Industry
The Washington Post is running an interesting series called "A Day in the Life of..." in which the author puts himself in the shoes of a travel industry employee for a day.
The most recent article is about Gary Lee's day as a housekeeper at the Ritz-Carlton. Although his day didn't include any crazy stories about drunken guests and other things I'm sure housekeepers see on a regular basis, I thought it was an interesting read.
I wasn't really looking for a moral to the story but it's nice to see that by the end of the day, Lee says that from now on, he will always leave a tip for the housekeeper when staying at a hotel because he now realizes what a hard job they have.
Next, I'm reading A Day in the Life of a Theme Park Starfish...
