How do I getmyself into these things? Oh wait a minute, I didn't! Someone else did.... poor me. Argh too soon, again. At least it's not raining...yet. Oh well, I guess being part of a committee that is destined to save the world requires a bit of self offering. Today I will be giving a few presentations on how we can preserve the environment within the hotel. And of course I get the early shift!
07.00
Alright, no breakfast, no coffee, no sleep! I feel great! But I know that the company takes care of us and before I know it I am blessed with a huge cup of coffee, bacon and eggs, bread and a good mood.This is not too bad, at least it didn't rain!
07.30
Excitement, the first round. A little bit nervous I climb up onto the stage. I open my eyes and see that for this first shift there are only 15 people who showed up... what a relieve, a good ice breaker. As I click along the screen I explain how the Hilton helps to preserve the environment,what efforts are made and how we can all
help. A little bit of interest makes a lot of difference.

Ok my nerves are now focused on something completely different. This presentation is just as smooth, just as witty and just as touching but my heart is pounding while I
have a meeting… in exactly 15 minutes and I can’t be late. Thankfully the movie goes all well, the images flash by and before I know it I am crashing down the stairs,my bag flying and my heels clicking. Phew, I made it; even without falling flat on my face as I tripped over the carpet in the lobby.
11.00
Hungry – but still in meeting, no food here.
13.30
Lunchtime!!! Well, due to an overfull schedule, only 20 minutes but that is fine with me.
16.00
Ah real working life finally.The moment I was about to leave my phone rings. It’s my boss and she had a list of things for me to do and to check so I guess I am stuck a bit longer at my desk. At least it is something that I need to know as well and which will help me develop myself. Hmm… maybe I can catch dinner here as well.
17.30
Official going home time, I am still at my desk.With a new cup of coffee and typing as if my life depends on it, I cling to the computer (and the caffeine) as my last life line.
19.00
Jippy, I am done… I think I will just find myself an internet café and chat with some friends. Home is not an option yet. I am guessing I will make my way home somewhere around 22.00 tonight and then get up the next day. Yep, I love my job!
