Hi everyone :wave:
I just had the worst day I've had in a long time, so I thought I'd make a place for all of us to sorta vent when we have a particularly bad experience with something.
My day was a 15 hour long one at work. Here's why it was so horrible: First of all, I work at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. We have been allowed to wear halloween costumes for this entire month, so I created a sorcerer mickey costume to wear. I'd been talking about it for a couple of weeks, and I really saw nothing wrong with wearing it (nor did my coworkers). But, apparently the right people weren't around because before we even opened I had to take it off because our operations manager had a problem with it. The thing that really peed me off though was that other employees got away with disney princess dresses and one with a sponge bob (that technically advertises kings island since they have nickelodeon characters and a sponge bob 3d show).
Okay, then the morning was really slow while we had 2 members of management there. As soon as the other sup left, it was like a million people "magically" appeared in our lines. Seriously, I think attendence like tripled. So here I am getting yelled at by angered guests about the lines, dealing with bad people using other people's season passes and so on. We got the lines under control and everything was cool. It all happened again and everything eventually came back under control. So, then a few hours later, someone set a ticket booth on fire and I had a million people screaming fire and knocking on every window (which I was by myself at the time because my seller was giving another employee a break). We got the fire under control and out and then my employee in the haunted house ticket booth got sick and :hurl: . So I had to send her home and my one seller to that booth and be by myself again. It seems like bad things always happen when I'm in charge. I seem to really attract the psychos! :lookaroun
It was really bad and I'm so glad it's over now. That's the only good thing about today. Tomorrow's the last day of our season and I'm off (thank God!). The girl I worked for today is working for me tomorrow (otherwise I would have been closing tomorrow too :fork: ).
Anyways, not that ya'll probably care, but I just needed to vent and cool off after my super crappy day. Thanks for listenin and if anyone else wants to blow off any steam after a particularly bad day, I'm willing to listen as well.
