Rainy Weekend

Well yesterday I worked Downtown Disney from 3:30-12. The weather reports said that it was going to rain. So I am walking to the bus stop to go to work. And guess what it decides to do? Downpour! When I got to the costuming building, there was so many people going in to get their rain gear. I saw 2 of my roommates doing the same thing. When I get to the area lockers to start work, the rain has decided to slow down. After a couple of hours the rain is just coming down hard. My pants are getting soaked. And to make things worse, my pants are white and a little see through. So I finally decide to go to the lockers and grab the rain pants. I feel really stupid wearing them because now I look like a banana. At least they keep me from getting me even more wet then I already am. So the whole time I am at work, it keeps raining. Today was a little better but it still was raining really bad on and off. I didn't have to look like a full banana, just the big yellow coat.
The one thing that was sort of exciting while I was working today was when I was helping my lead vacuum up water at the main entrance, someone told me that some ladies were yelling at each other and to get security. So I went to ask for someone to call security. I didn't get to see the security get there so I wonder what happened.
Well my mom texted me and told me that I had gotten a letter from Devin. I'm excited but I have to wait til my mom can mail it on Monday and then wait until it gets here to read it.

First week of work

Sunday was my first day of work without my trainer telling me what to do. For my first day of work I got put to sweeping in DTD (Downtown Disney). I liked it but it doesn't have the same feeling like working in the park. It felt like a regular day at work just sweeping this outdoor mall. The next day I got put on the pier sweeping from Toy story mania to the fun wheel. It was a lot of fun! The funny thing while I was working was that there are little birds all over the place. Every time I went to go pick up something, there would be a bird and he would take my trash away. I also knew where all the food on the ground was because there was always a bunch of birds on the ground. Tomorrow will be another undistributed day so I won't know what area I will be in until I clock in for work.

Training Week

This week was my training week. On Tuesday we met our trainer, Amber. She is so funny! We toured around DCA (everyone calls Disney California Adventure DCA and also Disneyland is DL) the whole day and found the area lockers for each area of the park. On Wednesday we did another tour just to make sure we knew where every area locker was. We also got the chance to clean up fake vomit aka code v. I did good with that because I knew that it wasn't vomit. Today Amber decides to choose me for the first code v. I was not excited at all to go do it. We went over to Grizzly Bear River and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The vomit was very small and we use this chemical that gets rid of the smell. So I was glad for that. Tomorrow is my last day of training and then I am on my own. I'm a little scared to be doing everything I learned. I hope I can remember everything that I have learned.
