perks of hotels ^^

i absolutely love my friends who work in hotels

since i'm too lazy to get off my bum and find a job in a hotel,

i get the side perks

wenhao has brought me like 10 issues of newsweek & time. NICE NEW ONES :D

and bell got me a magazine(which had a review of tetsuya's!!!!) and let me look at the employee's rates at the hotel she works at :D
which is really kewl.

the other time i met johannes and kimmy, who were staying at the hotel johannes was working at. and we were waited on hand and foot at the lounge. free peanuts too :D

the interesting stories is what i'm in this industry for.

a few people had celebs staying at their hotels during their industry training.

according to james, m.c. hammer is really nice. which according to him, is really weird considering he has HUGE bodyguards and probably doesn't need to be nice. but he is. and that's always nice to know.

and a guest speaker told us about the time a celeb, *name shall be protected* , stayed there and asked for a really exotic type of sausage.
problem? it was 4 am in london.
ENTER: THE concierge(they are the bomb. the really good ones can get you anything. ANYTHING. anytime. seriously. our lecturer was telling us that they could probably get you tickets to a sold out concert. IF you're willing to pay)
anyway. the concierge had to call this butcher to open his shop.
which was halfway across london.
so the guest speaker had to drive there
come back
with the sausages
and ask the chef to cook it.

you would think huge tip like $100

nope. a 'thank you!' *closes door*

its amazing the stories that come. there's so many of them. i wish i could properly express them in some humorous witty way like matt preston or anthony bourdain's kitchen confidential

but i'm just a waitress who blogs.
