right, I should have remembered it was 2001, I'd started a hotel job in Oraldo may that year. I thought I'd made a bad choice of job change when 9/11 happened and flights were stopped and tourism was very slow.
I worked in a crappy Hotel, but it was owned by Spaniards, paid good and great benefits. I was third shift security and it was a 522 room hotel with 2 separate buildings of rooms old and new and a lobby building in the middle. When Bellman went home I helped people with luggage, when H/K went home I took rollaway, pillows and coffee etc.. to rooms, when Engineering went home I plunged toilets. Delivered the Express checkouts, and picked up Room Service breakfast menus.
They were slow after 9/11 but they needed someone NOT working the desk. A double whammy is that we boarded 100 SW Airlines Flight crews and 50 AA Airlines flight crews. The hotel was almost 1/3 airline people. Fun times in Hotels.
9/11 short version.
9/11/2001 long version.

I was in the hotel business at that time, too! I got laid off.
