An Off Day

DCP – Day 21 – September 2, 2012

And I mean off as in, not so good, and not, yay I had the day off!  But anyway.  It was just a not so good day.  I went in to work and everything was fine.  Then I got my placement.  In Character.  My not so favorite place to be.  I relieved a girl who went home and took my place behind the register.  A performance from the Little Mermaid had just let out so the place was swamped.  People were lined up at the register and everything.  Another girl was working there but she was out front blowing bubbles (yes, literally blowing bubbles with the bubble machine) while I worked by myself at the register.

This went on for several minutes.  I did so many transactions so fast that I didn’t have time to think straight.  Not once did the other cashier offer to open the other register there and help me, even after I asked her to.  I’ve never worked with this girl before.  All I know is she’s also a CP and ‘been here since May,’ because that’s all she kept telling me.  She knew everything because she had been here since May, or so she thought.  All of this put me in not so good of a mood.

But thankfully, the night got better when I got a new placement.  I moved to The Studio Store and worked in there for a little while and liked it.  I worked with Ivan, a fellow CP from South America.  We practiced Spanish together.  No hable espanol.

Two of my wonderful roommates, Abby and Erika, came to visit at work tonight, which made the night get that much better.  I also drove to work again today so I was able to crank the new not-country-in-the-least-bit song by Taylor Swift in the car and sing it at the top of my lungs on the way home.
