Training Assessment Passed? Check!

Howdy folks! Since my last update, I completed my third day of training and had my assessment the following day. My assessment went smoothly. I took a 90 question test over The Barnstormer and a 50 question test over Mickey’s Toontown Fair. Then, I had my Performance Assessment where I worked each position for ten to fifteen minutes. Later, I had an hour long meeting with a manager to go over the point system and what was expected of me.

I got to take the red ribbon that said “Earning my Ears” off of my name tag. I am all on my own! I have already worked two full shifts since my completion of training. I still have a few questions every now and then, but after a while I’m sure I’ll have it down great. The guests tend to have the same questions over and over so once I perfect my answer, haha, I’ll be good. Plus, the people I work with are a lot of fun. There are several other CPs or ICPs (International College Program). My co workers really make me feel at home and they are very encouraging.

City driving is an experience. I have lived in Guymon my entire life so small town driving is what I’m used to, but I’m very good at planning when I need to leave and what not to arrive on time. It is ten miles to work which computes to twenty minutes drive time for me. I have not really been out on the roads at rush hour times so I’m doing okay there. However, I have a gotten a couple of honks, which make me wish I had tinted windows. Sorry! I like to hope they blame it on my plates and think “Silly Oklahomans!”

I finally did my laundry the other morning. Since passing my assessment, I have had evening shifts; it’s nice. But our laundry matt is something else. We purchase a card and load it with money so that we do not deal with quarters. When you are ready to do a load, you put the card in and select your cycle and it takes a dollar off the card and shows your remaining balance. I got myself a free load because the washer next to mine was blinking “Reselect Cycle.” I opened it and there was nothing in it so I loaded it up and pressed a cycle and it ran without me using my card! I was pretty stoked!

I have been in Florida two weeks already! Time sure does fly! Happy February!
