Time For A Cool Change

I was chatting with old college friend last fall that suggested that I look into the hospitality industry. I worked in a similar capacity in college. I worked at a full-service resort during summers and at hotels and restaurants during the school year. I always enjoyed the work, particularly the one-on-one with the guests.

Then, ma chère épouse and I were at a New Year's party in D.C. this year and met a woman who provides private service as a temporary. She flies in and manages the house, nannies for the children, event planning, whatever the employer needs. She provides private service for a couple of weeks and then moves on. I thought, "I can do this." This provided some insight into the industry.

I did not think about it much until mid-March when I stumbled upon a butler's blog. After spending time with Dean, I ended up spending a few days researching modern day butlers.
