I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists and I feel I work
hard for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week. I met the group at the airport and took them to
the coach. The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn't far for the
hotel and everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn't used the Hotel Riviera before but
our normal one had a conference in it so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the
reception desk, they said they were full. I had booked room for the group but the manager said they
were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognized my voice and that I had
made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the
end, the manager phoned other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different
hotels. By this time, the coach had gone, so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get
angry with me. I still don't know who made that phone call but it definitely wasn't me…
