If this doesn't work out for you maybe you can fill the void caused by Dave Berry's retirement from writing his column. Mark Mike,

Good for some laughs and a reminder that people think we play a lot, especially if one mentions we’re part of the travel or hospitality industry. If this doesn’t work out for you maybe you can fill the void caused by Dave Berry’s retirement from writing his column.

What a great story Mike and, as previously acknowledged by our compatriots, one that I can truly relate to. "What do you mean you sell space?" I have to say also, you've got a real future in creative writing...I always new you were a great story teller! (wink) LLLLLLOVE IT!

When I worked in hotel sales, my father thought I was in real estate actually "selling hotels". Since I've been at Experient, he is totally clueless what I do and I've given up trying to explain it to him. See you in DC!

I worked in hotels for 15 years, and it was so difficult to explain exactly what I did to friends, family and acquaintances. Invariably, someone always made the comparison to a wedding...I guess that's most people's experience with a group block at a hotel. Now my job is even more nebulous, at least in their eyes. My brother, who refers me all the time to his clients, still doesn't really understand what it is I do! Mike – boy does that hit home!
