Anyway we will start off this two part update with more of the usual Disney updates. There hasn't been much happening since my last update, for there isn't something stellar every day. Then again I suppose things aren't stellar to me because I work there, had I not maybe I would see the cool things that happen ever day. Oh last week Keyshia Cole was in Dinoland, along with Miss Florida, but who knows who that is. She was in the games area and she played all of the games that we had to offer, which was pretty amazing. Now of course being that I have horrible luck I was at Nemo cart refilling it while she was there playing games. I heard about it after she had left. This is my life, and it is standard. I sure enough didn't even know who Miss Florida was so even if she was there while I was in the games section I wouldn't have known but Keyshia Cole...well that is a more well known person.
So what is the best part of my job? It isn't the guests. As I have already said before, probably, the best part of my job is my co-workers, managers, and coordinators. They are all amazing we have the best break room discussions I have ever had, of course I have never had a break room to go to before so that might be why but nonetheless it is great. One thing that I keep learning over and over again is how difficult it is to actually pull of this Disney level of service to each guest. I'm one with a short fuse for those who don't seem to understand the most basic concepts that I tell them. Let's just say that is about half of the guests that I run into. Life is really great at the parks for the guests, but I have come to the conclusion that once a person goes on vacation they don't bring their ears, the majority of their brains, but they do bring their complaints for us to hear. Now I'm not going to say that I'm the best guest ever, but I have to admit that I have a lot of respect for the other cast members here for being able to take what we have to deal with. Everything seems like smiles and happy moments for the guests, but if they really saw how we get treated by them and what they say then maybe they would think twice about it but that is fine.
I leave work, generally everyday, with a smile on my face and a happy thought in my mind so I can't complain too much at all. Most of the bad stories come from the hotel/resort cast members and the custodial cast members. They seem to get the brunt of it. I just have to repeat myself...a lot.
Summer hours are slowly coming to an end which I'm both pleased with and displeased with. I can't wait to stop working 10 hour days and to have my nights free again, but at the same time I did enjoy having a somewhat decent paycheck now I'm really going to have to try to get some extra hours or something to make enough to go on living with. Also with the end of summer hours comes the loss of most of my good buddies that I have made over this last two months. It is amazing how quickly we make friends, good friends at that and at the same time how quickly they leave. I have already had one leave on me just last week and in about 2 weeks a lot of them will be leaving. On my birthday too...sadness.
