My first day of work! 1, 2, 3

Omg! I finally got my very first job in my life! I am currently working for Photogenic Inc. I worked for three days now. On the first day I worked at the Ferris Wheel. I did cashier/sales/line flow/photographer duties. The second day I also worked at the same station. I was super excited to work that day and it was fun and awesome. The bad part is that I have to stand all day and that was quite tiring. But yea I got used to it by now. It was pretty fun to get the hang of it especially for the photography part. That is my Favorite!! At first when I was working at the cashier I felt so shy and newbie, but then when I was on camera I felt like joking a bit more and talking a little to the costumers. Then, I started to get the hang of it. I felt more free to talk to them and much more comfortable, too! For the cashier part, I totally mastered it by now. My supervisor said I did a great job! On the second day I was late so I called in notify them that I was going to be 5-10 minutes late. Gosh.. I hate the Grand bus! It sucks so MUCH!... I did the line flow that day too. At first I hated it cause I think it wasn;t much fun at all. During the night time, it got so crowded that I had to handle a bunch of people at once. I couldn't handle it that well so my supervisor took my place for a couple of seconds. Then after I experienced the social learning theory, I stepped in and took my position again. She said I did a great job because I have good sense of catching up in new things. She was happy and I was too!! She said I was good at everything!! YAY ^_^... At the cashier my other supervisor told me I'm doing great because I interact with the costumers and the other employee said that she loves my confidence. I felt very happy because I was useful. So then I enjoyed working there even if it is such a hassle sometimes. The third day was quite boring until the end. The environment is much more dreadful and it is not lively there at all. I hated working there because the costumers there were so mean. A lot of them had an attitude.... and wouldn't take their pictures. The camera broke down and messed everything up. Then we lost about 300 costumers during that period of time. The supervisor there was not that great and also one of them kept on bitching... I was like omg if you don't like this job then quite it already! But Matt was awesome. He is very nice to me. Also Jeff and Timicka. They are all so great. O yea Josh is kool too! and very funny to be with. I just didn't like how the printing was so slow and that we had to print every single picture out even if it looked really bad. Such a waste of paper... and we cannot recycle them either due to the chemicals on them. It was hard to sell them out because it cost so much. Te packaging was so disordered. It was hard to put them all back together. I actually had much more fun just standing at the stairs directing the costumers to the exit just to make them pass by our photo booth. I liked that a lot more for some reason. I got so tired of doing the line flow. I interacted with the costumers and begged them to take pictures but there were just too many. I felt like I just wanted to get out of there. I ran out of energy to talk to each and every person. I got especially tired of the costumers that wouldn't cooperate especially those who just go right ahead and trespass the line in the front. I was like you can't pass by here and then Josh got so pissed off and told them that the line blocker is there for a reason. I will never want to work at U505 again! I liked Matt and Josh but everything else I had to do there was not that fun. Also it was super far away too. It was just frustrating...
