Hollidays and Weekends

Each and every Friday morning and a day before every national holiday, I get really angry with radio hosts saying things like » This is the last day of the week, you don’t have to come to work tomorrow and you can rest over the weekend« or “Holidays are coming and we are sure that you will be enjoying your free time.” Don't they realize that some people work on weekends, holidays and nights? It is not just people in tourism in hotels and restaurants, but also police, hospitals, power plants etc... Funny thing is that even people on the radio and the TV have to work on weekends as well. Or do they record everything in advance and then a machine plays it? Well, for sure cleaning of a hotel room can not be recorded in advance and neither can be a massage in the wellness center. Although with the latest advances in robotic technologies, you never know? If they can teach a robot to dance and play football, they might teach it to check you in at the front desk. Would you like that?

Anyhow, hotel business simply means that we work especially hard when other people are on holidays. Hopefully they are on holidays in our hotel.
