Things still seem to be happening so fast for me since moving down here. It seems as if I just started working at my location (which I somewhat did just start) and the management has taken a liking to me. I'm thinking this is a good thing, as it will allow me a lot of different options over the next several months that I'm in this location.
Next week I start my on the job training for working the register system. I'm not too concerned at all about working on it, because to put it nicely, I've talked to and worked with some of the people that work them.... Won't be rocket science. I'm really looking forward to getting back into my swing of things with the register and working with the cash side of running a restaurant. I was also talking to another on of the staff at my location who is also on the college program (CP) and I mentioned to her that I'm going to be training on the register within the next week. She was surprised by this and had to confirm with me that I did in fact just recently pass my basic assessment for working the shops and the front of house. She said that it was impressive that they are willing to move me up that fast and they normally only do that with people that they want to place in training roles and move up in the location. That made me feel really good. That I might have the chance to not only work at Disney, but have to possibility to be a trainer at Disney. That would be amazing. I'm not going to get up hopes up too much yet, but that would be an awesome achievement if I could reach that by the end of my program
This week is going to be a hectic week at work as it is a holiday weekend. I know our projected attendance for Epcot on the 4th is almost double what we see in a normal day. I'm used to not getting off for holidays, as I worked retail before so it didn't come as a surprise to me when I saw that I was scheduled on the 4th. A lot of the other CPs were upset that they weren't able to do something on that day. But that's how it is in retail, restaurant, and hospitality business; we work while others party. I was able to be lucky enough to get the 3rd off so I plan on going to the Magic Kingdom for the evening to see the firework show that they will be setting off on both the 3rd and 4th. And then on the 4th since I don't have to work until later in the afternoon, the roommies and I were planning on going to Celebration, FL to see what festivities are going on. And I've already scoped out the nearest Subway so I can still carry out the tradition of having subs on the 4th. I might not be able to eat it on Fireman's Park Hill watching the fireworks in Germantown, but I can still enjoy it in the break room at work.
An amusing side note: The other day I had noticed that there had been an unusually small amount of Brazilians coming through the restaurant and I made a comment to another CP that there must be a World Cup game going on. Sure enough, the Brazilians had flooded The Odyssey building where all the games are being broadcast. I felt kind of sorry for the Cast Members that were working over there, but thankful that we had gotten the day off of being yelled at in Portuguese.
Side note #2: I ordered another name tag yesterday, this one with my hometown of Germantown. I'm really excited to be able to wear that one instead of the Milwaukee Sch of Eng one.
