Every job comes with its challenges.

No matter how much you love your work, there will be times when you struggle. You will have pet peeves and least favorite tasks - that's just life.

Having said that, I love my job in the room-service department of a five-red-star hotel, but it's not always easy.

Early mornings, overtime shifts, and the mammoth task of restocking 144 mini bars are a few of the difficulties that come with my name badge and apron.

The reason I continue to work there, though, is because the positives of my job far outweigh the negatives. Actually, I would never have been hired in the first place if I wasn't enthusiastic about the position: If you work at a five-star hotel, you have to be passionate about serving people. If you're not, you don't make the cut.
