After the holiday rush, the hotel feels like it exhaled before I did. I’m the manager, armed with cold coffee and a smile taped on by muscle memory. The lobby is quiet, the plants survived, and so did we. Glitter still hides in corners like it’s paying rent. Guests are gone, my team is tired, and somehow, I still love this chaos. Hospitality changes you—mainly your sleep schedule and your soul.

I just assume the glitter will remain in my lobby until next Christmas season. Honestly, kind of miss the chaos. The first day after things slow down is nice but then it gets too quiet you know?

Yeah, I like the holiday rush and excitement. January feels a little lonely, like cleaning up after a party. Getting back into the normal day-to-day feels... deflated.

What a beautiful way to put it!

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak. He scolds me over every little thing, how I load the dishwasher, maybe I didn’t push my chair in. Last week he told me I needed to work on my appearance. I was shocked. I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?
