So most
weeks, Tuesday is considered my Friday. But this week, as I mentioned in an
earlier post, the schedule was flipped around a bit so my days off are Thursday
and Friday. It’s been a while since I’ve worked six days in a row, but it’s not
a big deal. I go in at three today to work the later shift with David and
James, with Emily as the supervisor. I don’t know yet how many check-ins we’re
expecting today, but since it’s Tuesday, I don’t think we’ll have an
overwhelming amount. I think we may have some tour groups coming in that we can
do batch check-ins for, which will make it easier. There’s a decent chance that
Emily will let one of us go early, which will probably be me since I have to be
back in at seven tomorrow morning, and David and James don’t go in until three
tomorrow.
I just got
back from having lunch in the EDR with Cristina, Tanner, and David. They were
serving tacos today- thankfully they also always have hot dogs and a salad bar
as an alternative. I just can’t eat the EDR’s version of Mexican food; feels
like I’m cheating on San Antonio. Tanner’s working at the activities desk from
eleven to nine today; I told him when I got to work at three we should try to
coordinate so we could go to dinner at the same time. Cristina’s off again today,
so she just headed over to relax by the pool. I may do that when I get off work
tomorrow, or on one of my days off. I was thinking about doing it yesterday,
but the weather wasn’t the best for a day at the pool.
Tanner told
me at lunch today that his softball team is playing another game on Thursday
evening, so I’ll probably bring my camera along to document it. Other than that
I don’t really have any weekend plans; it seems like most of the time any plans
spring up at the last minute. I might find another fun path to hike, or maybe
see if anyone I know is going into Jackson and join them. There are a few
things I need to pick up there soon, and it’s just a fun town to spend time in.
I could probably ask Tanner or maybe Jesse if he’s not working.
I noticed
yesterday on the work schedule that they just hired a new front desk agent. She
came to the desk just to ask Emily a few questions yesterday, and Haley and I
met her very briefly. Her name is Rebecca, and that’s pretty much all I know so
far about her. I noticed her being trained at the desk today when I walked
through the lobby before lunch; they usually start by training during the
morning shifts since they’re easier. I’m not sure yet when I’ll be working with
her; we’ll see.
I mentioned
this on Facebook the other day, but for those of you that don’t keep up with me
on that, I’ll say it here too. I’ve pretty much officially come to the
conclusion that no matter how old you are, if you’re younger than the majority
of people around you, you’ll regularly be referred to as “kiddo”. Pretty much
all of the people I know here are at least a little bit older than me. Tanner’s
23, Jesse, Brian and Elliot are 24, Cristina’s 25, David’s 26, Nate’s 27, etc.
In fact, out of all the employees I know here, only one of them is younger than
me. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. It’s just, when I worked at the zoo, I
worked a LOT with the zoo teamers, who were all younger than me. Yes, I worked
with a lot of people who were older as well, but being the youngest again just
feels different.
