The Final Countdown

I announced my retirement today.

OK, not really my retirement, but I did give notice in preparation of beginning a new job in an old industry.

I'm going back to hotel management, something I never thought I would do since leaving Harrah's. Sixteen hundred rooms and three-thousand surly tourists ... good fun!

I get all teary-eyed when I think about leaving the people I work with. I love each one of them. I've learned so much from them. I get so much out of spending 8 & 9 hours with them five days a week.

Then again, being a receptionist was not my life goal. Neither is being in the hotel business, but at least it's comfortable and I'm not first on the phones! There is nothing quite like making sure someone else can grab the phone if you need to take a leak. Sheesh.

Here's to leaving comfort for a challenge.

Tally ho!!
