Another day

This week I have discovered that perception is much more than just perception.  What I mean by that is that what people see, while it may not be true, is what they believe.  Someone may see one part of you and think that is all you are about.  I experienced this with my Hotel Manager this last week.  I have seen that in situations like this one it is important to work twice as hard, smart, diligent, etc. in order to show those who may think something about you that it is not true.  While it doesn't always make sense to have to change something that is working, it is important to make sure that there are those who are working around and above you have faith in you and the job that you are doing.

Coming into the final weeks of this internship I have seen many ups and downs in my position.  I haven't had the smoothest transition from the front desk to the restaurant, but I do have the support of my manager Richard and my staff which makes each day easier.  I have learned so much in such a short amount of time about managing and the workplace that it will only help me to continue on and grow in this industry.  I honestly strive each day to learn something new, either about management, the restaurant, or the hospitality industry.  I still have not found where I want to be amongst the hotel industry, but I know that with the experience I am gaining I will find where I belong.
