I’m the only hotel doctor who loves to work on Christmas.
Freeway traffic is light, always a bonus but more so on Christmas because my
competitors, including those in Orange
County, prefer their
holidays undisturbed, so I make some distant visits.
Guests who fall ill are especially grateful to find a
doctor. Employees, apologetic when they phone, are impressed when I make an
appearance. Visiting a hotel that doesn’t call provides an irresistible
opportunity to point out the superior service I deliver.
The only person not delighted by all this is my wife. Long
ago, receiving a second call while engaged in the first, I missed the family
Christmas dinner. I won’t do that again, but that’s only a matter of juggling a
few hours.
