Well, work is cool. It's kind of an easy and very relaxed job and I'm not the least bit upset that I didn't get the rides or other grounds area. Actually I think this is probably the best place to work during the winter because it's mostly indoors. The only bad part is the fact that there aren't too many girls coming through to flirt with. On my first day I worked in grounds and met everybody. I worked along with this guy named Claus who is a Puerto Rican born German. He's just as tall as I am and we got a lot of attention because of that, much more than if we had come in by ourselves. It was funny. He's a pre dental student at the University of Tampa. We got along really well and were both looking for women and flirting with anything we could find.
One supervisor is named Kelly, a decent and very nice blonde, but I noticed an engagement ring right away. I then met this rather teacher looking girl and noticed no ring. I kind of gathered that she is pretty silly if she is old, but cool if she is young. Claus and I talked about her age for a second so I decided to go in and ask her while she was working at the bar. She looked up at me and to start conversation asked me how old I am!!! That scared me. It turns out that she is eighteen and I like that a lot. Her name is Kelly.
One part time supervisor is named Rich and he is pretty cool. He's a little guy from the deep swamp in Louisiana. We get along really well and talked all about Mardi Gras. He was there last year and I joked that I remembered seeing him there! Claus and I walked into the office once and Rich explained that they've been having Christmas parties in the Crown Colony after the park closes and asked either one of us if we wanted to work. I gladly volunteered for the hours and told them I wanted to work as much as possible since I'm only here for two weeks and this is my food money for next semester. They then explained that all we'll do is rearrange the tables and chairs and then hide for about five hours until the party is over when we have to put the furniture back in its proper place. There is a really nice VIP room where we get to hang out. Rich also said that the Crown Colony workers are probably the most pampered employees in the park with the exception of those in the Hospitality House. I now fully agree.
I started talking to Kelly a lot. Her nickname is Bo Peep. We started getting along really well and she latched onto me not after too long. Most of the girls in our area are goody goodies and she is no exception. We had a lot of fun running around, though.
We then had to actually do a little work in preparation for the party for about an hour. I used it as an opportunity to exercise and to show off a little. They have these curtains and poles that you have to assemble into a shadow box covering the food service. Rich, Kelly, some girl from grounds, and I all stayed. The little people usually have a hell of a time putting up the shadow box but I was able to reach it with ease and they were very impressed. By the end of the night I had impressed Kelly a hell of a lot and I really loved the attention.
We flipped tables and moved chairs. They all can only handle two at a time so I decided to test my strength and size by caring four at a time. I made sure to walk in front of them so they could both see. There were some security guards walking around that complimented me. The next day there was a big group of people in the office and we were talking about the night function and Rich told them that he wanted to keep me because I did a damn good job. He then actually bragged about me and how I carried four chairs at a time all night long!!!!! That was awesome and was exactly the attention I was out to get.
Early in the day I had joked with Kelly by asking her when she is going to take me to dinner. I picked up the line from Chris in Gainesville. Well, she went out and got Burger King for us to eat while we hung out in the VIP room. We then called people on the telephone and also watched the party. Kelly and I were leaning right on each other as we peeked around the shadow box. There were some awesome girls there that I was looking at rather intensely.
The next day I flirted a lot with Kelly again. We had to start preparing for another night function on Sunday night as well and they definitely wanted me to stay and help them. She kept running up to help me flip tables. When she told me that she wanted to help me, I acted all surprised and happy. She laughed and said that she is my Christmas present then and I smiled and said that she is what I always wanted. We then put our arms around each other for a second. That was great!
I was also trained on the bar that day. Rich was supposed to do it, but Kelly ran to take over. I impressed her once again by tapping perfect cupfuls of beer right from the start and by poring multiple beers without stopping the fountain. She really liked that. She also was amazed by the spiel I gave the first person I reminded that they are limited to two beers a day. I guess she forgot that I have worked at Busch before and now how to be courteous but get my point across. She said that I sounded exactly likes she would have done it. I like her.
I talked to Sarah on Monday and Tuesday repeatedly all day long both days.
Shar¡ called my house today while I was at work. At least she's making an effort...
