what a memorable 'Merry Christmas'
I guess no matter how tired I am now, I have to blogged about this. If not the feeling would be gone liao.
To start of the story, it's my first ever Christmas spent at work cos ah ma was short of ppl today. So just decided to help out cos I've got nothing on too. I could have gotten double pay in Spring though. But I chose to help them out even though pay was only 30% more. I believe happiness and love can fill up that 70% of the money I've lost? Well at least I really thought so after today.
But what a day to start with. Was supposed t report at 1030am but I only woke up at 10am and had to call in 1 hour late. Crap. But dearest huijia gave me a cup of starbucks java chip to boost me with strength. With a super sweet card inside. I'm seriously so touched by it. I LOVE YOU MAN! <3
So all of us had decided to replace "Merry Christmas!" with the "last warning" and all other vulgarities for the day. Whenever we feel pissed, we'll all go "Merry Christmas!" very cheerfully to our dearest guests. Actually no big issue, until the heavy downpour at 6plus. Our dearest "Father of Singapore" came to watch out last show. It was delayed for 20mins for him? And becos of this we clashed w the v v v heavy downpour. All guests were stuck inside our preshow and we only managed to clear everyone close to 815pm. First time being the last attraction to 10-7 for the day. Everyone freezed from 545 till 815. And I saw all the TMs, plus Doug drenched from top to toe cos they ran in the rain w/o umbrella. Maybe that's what I find the tourism industry amazing. And what's even more amazing, we witnessed the blackout of Mel's from the lighting. Damn scary pls omg.
Went for a quick 30mins break and had to position for pyro. Things really aint going our way. Started raining heavily when we reached our positions. Thank god the rain stopped just before pyro and started pouring again after pyro ended. All of us were stuck at our positions and couldn't get back to pantages. I know everyone was worried for each other based on the frequency we radioed each other. Making sure everyone is in the shelter and I can feel all the love and care we hv for each other. Me and Casey ran over to Huijia's position and all of us hid under the small umbrella. I told them this isn't a safe place as we might be struck from lightning anytime. So we ran all the way to enchanted greeter and to casa del wild. Ace and meiling wanted to come over but we just stopped them over the radio. So lol. In the end Tracy and Ricky came over w umbrellas to fetch us.
As we got back to pantages, its alr close to 10pm i guess. Lots of guests were stuck at Mel's and NY. Without a word, all of us just grabbed an umbrella each and went to shelter guests 2 by 2 to get them out of this place. And yes we were soaking wet from top to bottom. But everyone just worked as a team and we were done at abt 1030. Although all these shit happened on Christmas, I'm v glad to be working w the people I love. Everything was worthwhile. I somewhat think this will bring us closer. Do you think all of us (including those guests services ppl who had to stand in the rain and the danger of getting struck by lighting) went the extra extra mile because we OH SO LOVE OUR JOB? The answer is an upright no. Well at least to us in pantages. Do we think we did all these for the sake of the 45mins OT? How much could we get? Even if there is no OT, we would still have sheltered the guests out. It is really the love we have btwn us. We care for each other and work excellently as a team. So to those ah-hem, please stop arrowing us pantages people and say we are the slackest of all attraction. Some things we've done and sacrificed are those that can't be seen by you people. Including pyro in the rain. Please be nice to us and give us enough staffing during the day, thank you v much.
We could have kaobei abt so many stuffs- our forever existing payroll issue, our only 30mins break when we supposed to have 1 hour, our leaking attraction and i think this list is endless. But all this boils down to the lovable bond we have ppl! <3 I'll remember you guys for life (:
Anyway idk how to go work w a pair of soaking wet shoe tmr. I'm too emotional to sleep now.
