And if part of your job is to physically go to another city, spend the night, and then go to another city, spend the night there (and so on), of course, your boss puts you up in a hotel, too.
That came to mind recently when reflecting on an experience I had last year at a hotel for a conference. If things had gone a little more sour, it may have been a very bad experience and ruined both of our days (and my impression of that hotel). No be there,” he says, returning once Daniel has vanquished the menacing crew.)
Like a concierge at a hotel or the maî·tre d’ at a fancy restaurant, I’m the first person representing [literally!] Does that ever cross your mind?
