You guys there was a staff meeting today. We are building a NEW CULTURE here at the Doubletree. We have a new mission statement: people visit our hotel because they have a dream, and it is our mission to help turn their sweet dreams into remarkable realities.
To reflect this new culture we will be using a new names for familiar areas of the hotel. These areas, btw, will now be known as REALITY ENHANCING ZONES.
The REALITY ENHANCING ZONES include:
--The Fitness Center, now to be referred to as the PERSONAL REALITY ENHANCEMENT CENTER
--The Business Center, now to be referred to as the WORK REALITY ACHIEVEMENT CENTER
--Guest Rooms (where they sleep), now to be referred to as DREAM CHAMBERS
--The Breakfest Buffet, now to be referred to as the MORNING REALITY JUMPSTART PROGRAM
--Housekeepers will be referred to as DREAM CHAMBERMAIDS
--Guest Service Reps like myself will now be DREAM WEAVERS

But it hit me today--this is the perfect time for this to come down the pipe. I'm rebooting my whole goddamn life right now, why shouldn't I reevaluate my attitude towards my work and my workplace? I hate my job and I hate where I work? Why the fuck shouldn't I dive the fuck in and help transform this into a place where I want to work? I want to be able to hit up service industry night at some shitty club and tell a dude I work at the Doubletree on MLK and for him to say "Oh I hear that place is dope!" And
No, after two years of jackhammering, I don't really have it in me to bring my game at 11. It sounds ridiculous to say this but this is really the most emotionally taxing job I've ever had: having to maintain cordiality in the face of daily verbal abuse has just been killing me, and my ex used to wonder why I would just come home from work and open a beer and fall asleep.
I'm sick of that. So fuck it. Yes I am in. I want to make this a better place to work and I will wear a fucking spacesuit if that gets me there. It's corny and stupid and I am fucking IN.

Michel Lemoine and Elizabeth Tessier are as professional as possible under the circumstances in A Chambermaid's Dream. Tessier is the chambermaid, Lemoine her employer. When the house is empty, the maid fantasizes about her master. And then, one day, he comes home early. This soft-core exercise holds few surprises; still, the photography is excellent, even in the "sraight", non-erotic scenes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

haha yeah my guess is this is some kind of consultancy snowjob done with 0 real input from the public. nobody would agree to have their hotel room called a "dream chamber"

I want to reserve space at Doubletree but only if they'll agree to call it the "hot monkey luv chamber" instead of "dream chamber" while I'm there.

I should clarify guys: we're franchised, not corporate. We're owned by a small upstart out of Cali and we're their first full-service property, so they're sort of learning as they go. I don't think Hilton Corporate would ever truck with this shit.

And apparently these tactics have worked before! They're bringing dude in because as GM of another property in Austin he took some Marriott from #10 to #1 in its comp set using tactics like these. And he's apparently putting it all on the line: word from the bossman is that if we don't start seeing turnaround in 6 weeks he doesn't get paid.

I've actually re-pitched it to my new boss. They're all about looking for ways to make this place more memorable and interesting for guests and I feel this would be a dope way to do it. I'm rusty as I haven't fucked w/magic in about 6 months after the last attempt fell apart, but I could get back up to snuff without too much effort.

Doubletree Hotels, Suites, Resorts and Clubs present a chocolate chip cookie to each guest at check-in. Synonymous with Doubletree hospitality, the cookie has been used to differentiate the Doubletree hotel brand from its competition.
Doubletree gives out approximately 29,000 chocolate chip cookies each day, and a total of over 125,000,000. Each cookie weighs a 2½ ounces and has an average of 20 chocolate chips. The cookies are currently manufactured by The Christie Cookie company. In June 2002, Doubletree gave its 100,000,000th cookie.

I gotta tell you, if I had a hotel being all "sweet dreams" at me I'd probably make a complaint - I mean it sounds crepey! WTF management.

Every single time Hilton come into my office to promote their product, they give everyone a Doubletree cookie (followed by a long spiel about why they give out Doubletree cookies). I always say "well, I had a client that really enjoyed their stay at the Hilton South Wharf Melbourne."

I'm worried about you, bro, and I hope you have plenty of puppies to hug in your dark, cookieless hour.

Had my yearly review today. My manager told me she was going to give me 4.5/5 on supplier relations until I reminded her that no Hilton reps had given me a Doubletree cookie in months. So she bumped me up to 5/5, which she should have done in the first place! Considering that I spent a night at a Crowne Plaza a couple weeks ago and they fed me steak!

there has to be somewhere you can steal wireless from where you don't run that risk. they may not have cookies tho.
