My new computer finally got here, so I'll be able to post more often! Yay! :)
My second day of training at Tomorrowland Terrace was okay. It was a better day, but it was longer. They keep telling us (Ashlynn and me) that we're going to fall in love with TLT and never want to go back to Pizza Port. I'm not so sure about that. Sure, the shifts usually go by faster because they're busier and you have to do more, but I feel really unwelcome there. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong and I'm just in people's way.
Ashlynn feels the same way. We're both cashiers in the College Program, and a lot of people don't really like College Program participants very much. At least at Pizza Port, people were a little nicer. It's mostly girls that are mean to us, too. I've talked to a few guys who asked if I was in the College Program, and when I told them I was, they just nodded and asked how I like it and that was the end of it. They were more or less cool with it. A lot of the girls, however, act like we're inconveniencing them just being there. I understand that we're "stealing their hours" and apparently College Program participants get, like, three years seniority over regular starting cast members, but that's not our fault. We didn't ask for it, and we can't help that we got it. We'll be gone in five months, anyway, so none of these people have anything to worry about. And if, for what ever reason, we do decide to stay on, we're not guaranteed hours like we are now, and we fall back down to the bottom of the totem pole.
Yesterday, Ashlynn and I had a day off, so we decided to just go to the Park for fun. We invited people to go, but nobody could. One of my roommates had work and the other was behind in her classes, so we just ended up going by ourselves. It was great because neither of us were afraid to go on roller coasters, so we had a lot of fun on the rides we went on. The Park looked weird, though, because I guess they're filming some kind of holiday promotion. Half of Main Street looked normal, while the other half was decorated for Christmas. And Disneyland closed at 5 p.m. I really hope that the Guests who went yesterday didn't have to pay full price for their ticket or at least got a discounted Park-hopper. Disney California Adventure didn't close until 8 p.m., so that's where most people went when Disneyland closed.
It was fun to go and hang out at the Park, and it was nice to know that Ashlynn and I are becoming friends and aren't just coworkers or co-participants in the DCP.
I hope work gets better. I'm sure it will, once we get our bearings... But I'm wondering if we'll ever feel even slightly welcome there.
