Hey Everyone!!
Haha, so i've been kinda bored for the past couple hours, so i've been watching videos of Jamie and Dave from this years Stars On Ice..and now i'm listening to music from Moulin Rouge! I'm not sure why.. but i just decided to look it up!
So.. what's going on with me? Well i had the worst day ever going back to work last Sunday (i can't remember if i wrote about it or not).. but i was yelled/told off by my manager on stage infront of guests, which didn't make me feel real peachy about staying. Later that evening to asked to have a little "pow-wow" as she put it. It ended up getting put off until the next day because i think was doing inventory or something. She was too busy, regardless..
So she pulled me into her office and we just chatted about everything. How i was feeling, why i did a no call no show again.. and just to kinda see where i was at. She told me a lot about what she went through when she did the program..ages ago and such like that, so it was nice to hear it from someone who's been through sort of what i've been through. Also, she put a lot of things into perspective for me. It was weird, because she was saying the same things that everyone else was.. but i seemed to get it when she said it. I think it was the way she described it or something. Like how she was doing a program and had been working for Disney for 5 years and then went home for a year because she was homesick, but what she thought was going to be home.. really wasn't anymore. It was all just a fantasy. Everyone had moved on with their lives.. and it wasn't the same. Mind you, she's an American and i think only lived like 2 or 3 states away from Florida...but i knew where she was getting at.
There were other things that she said that just kinda clicked.. so i think i'm down here for quite a bit of time. Although, who knows?? haha
On an awesomley awesome note... i got paid double time today! Apparently the US really likes their holidays. So it was Memorial Day yesterady (Equivelant to our Rememberance Day)..and we all get paid 8 hours of straight normal pay, and then if we work.. it's paid on top. Just a little different and much nicer than in Canada!
So i worked six hours today.. so that means 8 hours of reg pay and 6 of STAT pay! Yay me!!! Hopfully it'll make up for all the lost popcorn shifts from the dumb rain!
Hmm.. what else? Oh yeah.. because i'm an idiot and did two no call no shows (since i've been down here) i have two points. Anddd!!! on Sunday night, i thought i had clocked out.. but it was pouring with rain and i pressed the button and swipped and then i noticed it didn't look like it usually did.. but i figured it worked.. but it didn't of course, so now i have 2.5 points. If you get 3 in your first 3 months.. you get termed!
And by Disney standards.. i should be terminated by now. A no call no show is supposed to be repremandable..and i have two, and if you get one in your first 3 months.. you're supposed to get termed... so i'm thankful that they're being so great to me as i figure my crap out.
Is there anything else really worth mentioning? Well.. oh yeah.. A LA CARTE is coming out tomorrow! It's our new reservation system. It's going to crash.. and oh yeah.. the system has overbooked us by 250 guests!!!!!!! So tomorrow is going to be bonkers. We've all been preparing for months.. we usually close for an hour between lunch and dinner.. but we're not tomorrow because of the overbooking. I think we're also allowing guests to buy drinks from the bar to drink in the lobby if they want because it's going to be a realllly long wait for everyone! We're usually supposed to turn a table in about 6 minutes.. but tomororw night we have about a minute and a half-two minutes to do it, so wish us luck! We're bringing in people just to bus tables all night and then there's tons of seaters/greeters.. i believe we're bringing in 13 servers, we're opening nunavut..and all the managers will be there. I'm super lucky because i get to be on popcorn all night! yay me!! haha But i'm am greeter on Wednesday, so that's going to completely suck!!
Well i guess that is it. It's not 2:30am and i wanna be up by 5am for my jog!
Take Caree,
Sam
