Sick Leave Blues

Away on sick leave...

I'm flipping through the channels and cannot seem to find anything interesting to watch. I came across the Disney Channel just in time for the start of the Phineas and Ferb cartoon. I haven't heard their opening song yet, so I got quite a chuckle over the catchy tune and the fun lyrics. I got so entertained by the song that I actually googled it and even went as far as blog about it :D

There's 104 days of summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it

Like maybe...
Building a rocket
Or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower

Discovering something that doesn't exist
Or giving a monkey a shower
Surfing tidal waves
Creating nanobots
Or locating Frankenstein's brain

Finding a dodo bird
Painting a continent
Or driving your sister insane

As you can see
There's a whole lot of stuff to do
Before school starts this fall

So stick with us 'cause Phineas and Ferb
Are gonna do it all
So stick with us 'cause Phineas and Ferb are
Gonna do it all!

Hahahaha =D

Back of the House

In the Hospitality industry, and as I believe exists in all other fields, we have those personnel known as the following people:

A. Front of the House - meaning those whose job involves concentrating on providing for the needs of external customers
B. Back of the House - those people you don't necessarily see, but are there and are involved in supporting the activities of the front people.

In one of our latest trainings in the Hotel, we were given the chance to recognize our hidden heroes, who in one way or another, have helped us in any way.

Just made me think... Everyday, we meet a lot of people who unexpectedly go out of their way to help us. These people may think what they did was menial, but it might have meant a lot for us.

So let me ask - How about you? Who's your hidden hero? :)
