Bad Day Gone Good

I was unknowingly late to work today. :P It was sad. I ran to get my job and it ended up being a speaking job. It was a good thing my coworkers don't know me well enough yet, and the Guests don't know me at all because I could hardly speak trying to hold back the tears. I was so upset. I couldn't believe I was late.

That was the start of my work day and it was bad for the first hour or so while I accepted that I'd been late. I didn't pull it together and get back into the job until much later, I'm sorry to say.

I did have some amazing Guests today though. It is amazing how when you're doing a job like this the tiniest most simple of things can make you so so happy. Today a Guest said my name as he went past me. Rather than just saying "thank you", he said "thank you Kristina". I smiled for almost two minutes. Right when I got to work and I was still holding back tears a Guest came to let me know that he'd lost his hat on the ride and when I told him that unless something happened to the ride we wouldn't be able to get his hat until closing time. I expected it to be World War III because we couldn't stop the ride to go get his hat. Usually that's how it is. Guests get so angry when we can't stop just for them. This man thanked me like I'd done something and told me he'd get the hat tomorrow. I wanted to hug him. It's just a little extra time that the Guest takes to think things through and it makes the lives of the Cast Members who are also trying to do that same thing a million times easier.

I like my co-Cast Members. They're fun. The day did get much much better after I let everything go. It's been a good day and now it's my weekend! Yah!!
