i wouldn't put it past kubla khan to turn the doubletree into a stately pleasure-dome reality center.

I was bitching at my boss last week about how shitty this all is and "goddammit can't they wait a month to dump more bullshit on me I'm in some real shit in my real life right now I ain't need to be worrying about losing my job because I forgot to mention that we turn sweet dreams into remarkable fucking realities"
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.

the whole 'sweet dreams' thing is doubletree's marketing tagline, so this consultant rolled in and is just blowing it the fuck up into our corporate mission statement

I'm still at the point where I say "Sweet dreams" and then immediately hang up because I'm horrified at how they might react
― 20 HOOS poppin steens on kawasakis (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Friday, 27 March 2009 04:13 (seventeen years ago)
I wouldn't know what to say but would probably just say "you too" out of habit which would make it even more awkward.

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

i believe that hoos believes that this nomenclature is coming from the top--the more likely scenario is that the 'consultant' who rolled in is actually just a high-stakes con man looking to make a quick buck scamming some texan hoteliers--only to fall in love with a beautiful dream-bermaid & make a last-ditch effort 2 save the hotel after revealing his deception & realizing that he can no longer live a life of lies

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.

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.
