Don't worry, be happy!

The sun is shining here today, although it didn't look so good this morning--much to cold for the end of April. But things should warm up a bit now.
I think the primary complaint I had about Mai at the hotel was that she--in her capacity as Assistant Manager, with a brand-new shiny bachelor's degree in Hotel/Motel Management from some school in Tennessee--wasn't doing, and had never done the work she was directing us to do.
I liked Lisa, the real manager: even though her politics were pretty horrendous, she had real experience working the front desk in a hotel, and understood the issues we faced.
In any case, I have always been more inclined to passive-aggression, and that actually fits better with a job where you're stuck behind a counter eight hours a day. [Some traits: obstructionism, fostering chaos, procrastination, forgetfulness... ] Think of me next time you're checking into a hotel.

So those things constitute passive-aggressive hospitality?
