It's been nearly a decade since I wrote. Or at least it feels like it.
And I only have 7 minutes to update you on that decade. That or I'll just continue to write when I get off work at Future World at 5pm.
I think I haven't really written because not a lot of College Program-y things have happened recently. Work was pretty plain. I spent a long time at Liberty Tree, which is awesome. It's probably one of my favorite places to be. That and Town Square, which seems to be all I get scheduled, really. Liberty Tree is awesome because you just have so much time to play. I often find myself in trouble for going to slow, but Liberty Tree is a restaurant where you can do that. It's very small. Almost no one cares if you go slow, except one manager who's decided that she doesn't like me very much and told me that I "don't have time to hug every guest," and this one crazy captain one night, where we had the following conversation:
ME: I go slow, I know it. I've tried to go faster, but somehow I'm not able to. I don't mind. I get good performance reviews in dining because I greet every single guest.
CAPTAIN: Well, which would you prefer, a reprimand or a good performance review?
ME: (shocked) Well, if those are my two choices, I'd rather have the good performance review.
CAP: Well, keep in mind performance reviews don't go on your record card, but reprimands do.
ME: (getting pissed) Well, if they want to give me a reprimand for making the guests too happy they can. I am not bid here, and if they don't like how I am here, they can stop scheduling me here.
CAP:Or they can transfer you to character attendant.
ME: Or they can do that. I've worked attractions before, I've worked food service. You can't threaten me by sending me somewhere else. If they think I'm not good at my job, I hope they put me somewhere where I'm more suited. But as long as they think I'm doing a good job, I'm not concerned.
By the end of that night, three other Liberty Tree people were looking for a manager to talk to about her.
Anyways, I didn't want to end on such a bad note, but that was ten minutes, and I have to go get ready for work. I promise I'll write more when I get home!!
