Florida
Attempted Brief update. I made it safe to Florida. Moved into the house with my limited items. Went to LARP, Jen broke her leg, so unpacking and organization basically halted. After a week I started to slowly look for work. Heard about Seaworld hiring for seasonal work. I got a ride to Seaworld HR and handed them my resume.
After about 15 minutes I was called to the front, asked a few verification questions about my resume, and then asked if I had time today to speak with someone. I told them I did and shortly afterwards I was being interviewed. I was not prepared at all. I expected to hand in my resume, answer a few basic question (about availability) and then be told I'll be called in about two weeks. So here I was being interviewed with no research done and no questions prepped. After a rather easy going set of questions I was being told where I could get my drug test and fingerprinting done "Oh," said the HR rep, "I'm pushing you forward through the process. I hope you don't mind". I was surprised things were moving this swiftly. I expressed concern about the drug test (stating that I had gone to the bathroom before going there) she said it was not a problem since they did follicle testing. Best. Drug. Test. Evar! This, along with fingerprinting, was done on site. After having some chucks cut off I will out some additional paperwork, got fingerprinted, and was told to attend orientation.
Between then and March 24th, my Orientation Date, I waited for a call to confirm or deny my employment. I had nothing to worry about through the drug and criminal screening. My concern was with ACS and my being terminated for tardiness. No call. Orientation roles around and we are told that if we are there we are hired. So, within a month of moving to Florida I am employed. I have a seasonal position within Aquatica within Admissions. For those who do not know, Aquatica is SeaWorld's new water park in Orlando. It's a little over a year old.
That's whats going on right now. I have a place to live, a job, and now I just have to wait for the paycheck to start paying bills. Also, I either have come down with some type of nasal congestion. So, either I have some type of head cold that does not makes me tired or achy or I suddenly developed allergies. Heh. Balance
