All newbies to the Disney company have to go through something called traditions. It is basically a 4 hour class where you learn the background of disney, get your diusney worker's ID, and try not to fall asleep. After that, I went to my training to be a character attendant. These classes were eight hours of hell. They could have summed it all up in one sentance. "Be nice to the guests and make sure the characters are protected." After all the training, boringness, and general stupidity that was my first two weeks, I was ready to begin my actual job. I showed up my first day like an energetic puppy in a store window looking to get picked by someone. I put on a shirt that made me look like a bumblebee, shorts that were too big for me, and my black hat and i reported to "boat dock". This is the magical land where all our favorite characters of the hundred acer woods come to meet there fans. It included pooh bear, piglet, tigger, and eeyore. After the first hour, i realized I did not care if pooh lived or died, but dont tell him that. The end of my first day made me feel like it was going to be a long seven month, and you know what? IT WAS!!!

Sounds like a tough job. For a posting like this, however, I think you should update us a little more frequently. It seems like you want it to be episodic, so a consistent post every 5 days or so would be good. You already have us pulled in, give us some more to think about!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this post. You are ending your posts in a way that makes the reader want to come back and see what else you have to say. I think you are doing well, you're developing an audience by giving information, but not too much. Great job, can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how that must have been. I tend to get annoyed with theme parks after the initial first few hours. Seven months must have been hell. Can't wait to get more horror tales from the hundred acre wood!
ReplyDeleteBeen there done that. Have had horrible jobs that felt like they lasted forever-I feel your pain dude.
