Orientation

Current Mood:

Right so today I went to the second BJ orientation dress rehearsal. Me, being a clutz, accidentally stepped on my uniform white tshirt so I had to get a new one. The only advantage that came out of it is the fact that I got a new t shirt. A medium size one. I wore a large last season most of the time. I hope that medium lasts with me for a long time. So that was the first thing that happened. Then I noticed that most new ushers are guys. :sly: Some cute some are okay but let’s also hope that they dont quit anytime soon. So my first section is 526. The nosebleed section behind home plate. I wasnt disappointed or upset. I was okay because if I was in the 100 level, I would be too nervous thinking that people are going to jump on the field from my aisle. So with me being so high, I dont have to worry about that. I will have to worry climbing so many flight of stairs and stopping people from smoking… :irked: That will annoy me so. Alot of the people I met from last season didnt come back this season. Pretty disappointing. I think only 7 people came back out of the new staff last year. That’s pretty sad… I hope alot more will stay this year.

Legs are in pain..

Current Mood:

Right so I am in pain right now.. My legs are hurting that everytime I walk or sit or go up and down stairs, I am in pain. I’m already slow at walking and this is also causing me to be even slower.. :sad: Today will be very painful considering how a huge part of my job in Blue Jays is going up and down a flight of stairs. If my supervisor puts me in 500 level, I wont be able to go up the stairs.. Even if I do, it will be so useless… Right so we’ll see what happens. If I have to do alot of walking up and down the stairs, I’m afraid that my legs will be even worse tomorrow that I’ll miss this stats quiz that I so (sarcasm) want to take… :embarass: Anyway I should post more later.. If more things happen at work..

People are smart

Current Mood:

Right so the baseball had 3 extra innings today.. I was not happy.. We did win though! Thank God… At least it ended one way or another. Had to eject 5 guys because they had sneaked in 5 illegal drinks. Illegal means not suppose to be in the building. Sometimes people are not very smart. The 5 guys have water bottles filled with some brown fluid inside. Obviously you wanted to get ejected because if you didnt, you wouldve gotten rid of that bottle and put every liquid of that drink in your Coke drink. I never wouldve noticed… But no.. They just had to keep the bottles around. Not only were there 1 but 5 bottles of alcohol in those water bottles (one for each person). I also thought this guy brought a “mickey” inside. Mickey meaning a bottle of alcohol from outside the stadium. But it turns out that wasnt theres. It was the guys behind them who put it there… I felt bad telling on them. But I dont think they knew it was me.. I am just doing my job after all. So today there’s going to be some emergency meeting at work.. I dont know whats that about. I guess last night’s turn outs was a hectic. I didnt think it was that bad. I only had 5 ejections. I heard more stories later on like a guy having a heart attack, some guy who had to put on some oxygen mask and what not.. Im sure there are more.. :sowhat: We’ll see today..

Still sick..

Current Mood:

Havent written here much.. Exams been taking over my life once again.. :tired: I am still sick. Been sick for more than a week now.. I’m constantly bringing water bottles and boxes of kleenex during exams.. I’ve only had one trouble when some person in charge in the exam room didnt allow water bottles. I was not impressed. I told him that I was sick and that I needed it so he said ‘Well we have a water jug there and cups that you can use.’ I didnt like that answer. Their water was cold but I had no choice. I guess same will happen tomorrow since the management exam will held in the Metro Toronto Convention Center. I heard they are pretty strict there. No water bottles and especially no other stuff just the necessities like pencils, erasers, calculators and pens. That means no tissue boxes for Vanessa. :weeping: I guess I’ll have to pack alot of kleenexes and stuff it in my pocket or something… That’s the only problem.. Runny & stuffy noses. I’ve almost stopped coughing.. Not so much of that. It’s just the nose..

p.s. I slipped down the stairs a few days ago & it was only 3 steps.. That’s 2 times now.. Now my bum hurts… :sad:
