Foreign Perspectives

From around June to August we expect to not be able to do anything that isn’t directly concerned with looking after guests. Non-essential administration just piles up, not to be looked at ’til September.

With the lower level of reservations in September, you’d expect that we’d be able to get stuck into that backlog of administration but that usually doesn’t happen ’til October as September represents the final month before the exam for my course so I end up needing to spend more time working on the Spanish which certainly makes up for any lower number of guests.

Also, some of that non-essential administration generally gets to move into the category of “essential” or at least “needing done” when it’s left undone for a few months which takes up the level of work required.

In fact, it’s not ’til well into October that we start to feel that we’re beginning to get on top of things again.
