Surprising Staff Travel

    “Hi, I'm a staff member and my name is Sean. I've faxed a travel request a few days ago. Is the boat fully booked today?” I called the reservation centre. I was still in bed, not totally awaken. Yet, I could spit out the question without thinking since I had asked the same question for many times.

   “The boat is fully booked today,” the reservation centre answered.

   “Oh,” I was disappointed again. I was about to hang up the phone and get back to sleep.

   “But there is one seat available on another boat,” the reservation centre continued.

   I was totally awaken now. It was surprising because I thought I would fail again as same as the past 4 weeks. Moreover, I had to get on the pickup location within 30 minutes but I was still in bed. After hanging up the phone, I chucked everything in my bag and rushed to the pickup location. I was still thrilled when I got on the pickup coach. All the long waits were worth.
