Today I met a man named Dallas who was working at the Ramada Hotel. Dallas has worked at the Ramada for 2 years and usually works the night shift. He likes working nights because it’s more laid back. His favorite part of the job is getting to know the guests that stay at the hotel even though some of them he may never see again.
Dallas grew up in Nebraska and moved to Florida in his 20’s. He met his wife there and they lived in Florida for about 15 years before moving to Ohio to be closer to her family. Dallas has lived in Ohio for 15 years and really enjoys it even though the weather is quite different.
He laughed about people who live in Florida not knowing what snow is. When asked what he thought he was going to use the $10 toward at first he said he wasn’t really sure but quickly decided he was going to take himself out to breakfast when he got off work that morning.
