You know you're a travel agent when...

[Beth Peace]

Way back in the dark ages (well, over 10 years ago anyway), I worked for a
travel agency. I was going through some old papers tonight and happened upon
this hilarious column (Say Hey, C. Haye by C. Haye Williams). I clipped this
from the "Southeast Travel Professional" in 8/91. Is it as true now as it was
then? Hmmm...

Some highlights:

You know you're a travel agent when you know the best restaurant in Paris is
the Crillon, you can order in fluent French and you only make $6,000 a year.

You know you're a travel agent when cats follow you all over town because your
purse smells like shrimp.

You know you're a travel agent when you can hold three plates of hor d'oeuvres,
two drinks and still hand out your business cards.

You know you're a travel agent when your goal is to make minimum wage.

You know you're a travel agent when your idea of heaven is a carving station
right next to the shrimp tree.

You know you're a travel agent when you complain more about your vacation than
the people who actually paid for theirs.

You know you're a travel agent when you push your flight attendant call button
more than seven times during the flight.

You know you're a travel agent when your bathroom has Holiday Inn soap, Hilton
towels, Hyatt shampoo and a Sheraton shower curtain.

LOL,
Beth

Hi Beth,
So true. It beats standing on the corner with a cardboard sign with "will
work for midnight buffet" scrawled on it <^..^>

Have a nice day, Karen
