I'm having an "I Love My Job" moment

Sometimes I have these. Other times, I have "I Hate My Job" moments.

Here's why I love my job in this moment......

I am at the Four Seasons Resort on the Island of Nevis. Its 85 and sunny. The place is unbelievably gorgeous. When you lay out at the pool, they come by and bring you cool towels and spray you with Evian mist.


A few minutes ago, I was sitting at our hospitality desk...which is in a room where there are these French doors that open unto a beautiful foliage filled patio and walkway. From the room, with the doors open, we can see the beach, and hear birds (speaking of birds....after this story, I am going to tell you another).



So, back to the loving my job story.... I was saying to my coworker just in passing, that I was craving a bowl of cereal. (just a plain bowl of cereal is hard to come by at these fancy resorts sometimes. Fancy granola....some sort of breakfast parfait.....no problem. A plain old bowl of Cheerios, usually can't get it. Its like asking for Jello.) Anywoo......apparently someone who works at the hotel overheard me saying this, because just now, a banquet guy walked into our room with a tray of milk and choice of individual cereals.

How awesome is that!


O.K. the bird story.....


There is this potted tree in our hospitality room that is there just as decor. I noticed the other day that this cute little bird was flying around. It didn't bother me or anything, but I did notice that it kept coming back. Finally, I saw that it was very interested in this particular tree. On a closer look, I noticed a half built nest.


I asked our contact at the hotel if she knew that there was a nest, and she said that this little bird has been trying to build this nest for a few weeks now, but the hotel has been moving the tree all over the place because of different functions and stuff. She told me that it always takes the bird a day or so to locate where the tree was moved, and then she starts back on the nest building.


Well, she found the tree yesterday, and now we have been obsessed with watching her fly into our hospitality room and feather her nest. Its really cute. I hope I am still here when she finishes. Maybe she will lay some eggs.


So I do love my job sometimes...well most of the time. Stay tuned to one of these days when I hate my job.....that always makes for a great read!
