Rants on reading
Between my regular work in the hotel which entails about 12
hours a day , I was able to squeeze in some reading that I am doing for the
Cornell Hotel and Restaurant Quarterly. They sent me 2 articles for this 2007 1st
quarter issue. You realize when you read this stuff the difference of a writer
coming from the academe and someone who is a hotel practitioner from the subtle
of the words they use to the practicality and application of their studies. Last
email I got from my editor seems that I am doing ok.
I usually read these articles either dead in the night about
1:00 am in bed with my portable breakfast in bed table cum home office .
I still prefer
printing the article in hard copy and doing my comments with my pencils. I cannot
get around that. I feel uneasy reading and editing on my laptop even if a number of people that I know who
can do that.
Call me old fashion but for me reading things on paper seems
to have more retention with my brain hehehehe.
Anyways reading a good article or a book relaxes me. Especially
with a goblet of red wine on the side hehehe.
