Work crap.

First of all, I hate writing. I guess I'm kind of lazy. But my sister is reminding me (or nagging, depending how you look at it) to write a blog because I haven't written in a month. I'm just plain exhausted. I feel like I could sleep for a week straight. Work will get a bit easier as of this Friday. The 2 big groups I have will be travelling this Friday. I pray nothing else will go wrong!!! Jumping into the middle of a file is not a good thing to do .... especially when the previous person is no longer with the company and has left little to no notes. So it's pretty much all guess work. It's Wednesday and I just got the last problem solved, they travel on Friday. YEAAAAHHHH!!!! People think it's a simple job...but not really. Airlines make major schedule changes on you or you have in writing that a tour is a certain date, but then the tour operator booked the wrong date and there is no availability left...etc. It's stressful because it's my butt that is on the line. People deal with me and not the tour operators or wholesalers. Which means that if anything goes wrong it's my fault .... even if it's not. Some people even get mad at me because their vacation isn't sunny the whole time. If I could control the weather, the temperature would not go below -10C here in sunny Canada. So anyways, I just got the last problem solved and I feel like I want to collapse from relief. I had to bend the truth to some travel operators/wholesalers .... but at least my clients will be happy! Because ultimately that's what matters. Ahhh, another day in the life of a travel agent. I think I need a drink.
