Memories of Brenda
Long Post with a lot of background. Hope you enjoy.
I am based in UAE and used to work for a boutique hotel some where in UAE. This is from over 12 years ago but the memories of this job and the thrills still excite me to this day. As a team leader I was responsible for a few sections. Since it was a small resort, we had 3 people in the reception, 10 in room service , and 1 operator. Brenda!??
I had lost my job in the 2007 economic crisis and had taken this job instead of returning back home. So it was a few steps down for me position wise but still in hotels so I took it up. The team was amazing and it was always a lot of friendships that I made which last till today. I have been a shy introverted individual at work and in personal life. So an open minded and forward Filipina threw me off completely. Honest I have always had a bit of fascination about Filipina women, but that was limited to my fantasies only. I never made any attempts nor did I receive any proposals. As part of my supervisory duties most of my work was in the operations ensuring smooth guest experience from arrival to departure. But when ever I had to do any admin tasks I had to move to the back office which was where Brenda sat. In a quiet corner to avoid any background noise during the calls. As she used to be alone in the back office most of the time, she also would be the acting office admin. The back office was where we had the management offices and supervisors stations.
