And then there was the beach! I don't know why people are so drawn to the beach..but we are. I've been waiting to go forever so the minute I got to Florida, I did. And it was wonderful!
12 hours is an awful long time to work...good thing I only worked 11.
Before we can officially start working, we have to take an assessment: written and job performance. I had three days of training and then my assessment was on Saturday. I passed beautifully, obviously and yesterday was my first ridiculously long shift. I was scheduled 5:45 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Ugh! The park was open until 3 a.m. Can you believe 3!! Insane. Luckily for us there were no cars left in the parking lot by 4 so they let us leave 45 minutes early. Oh yeah..I'm in parking. (I get to drive the trams and on occasion I have to direct traffic/park cars.) At first I was incredibly angry about it; I drove 2700 miles and spent waaaaaay too much money to be in PARKING!! Surprisingly, it's one of the top jobs in the whole park though. Everyone is super awesome so far (even the managers are chill) and it's a pretty lax job. And..my costume pretty much rocks. I absolutely hated it at first, but it's wonderful compared to some of the ones I've seen.
