It was my first and probably only thanksgiving in the US and I have to say it was a great one. I never really realized how great my coworkers at Launch Bay are and I am truly thankful to have been able to meet most of them. But this was the toughest week here both mentally and physically.
I never thought I would experience fatigue like I did last week. I was scheduled 51 hours with only one day off. At the beginning of the week I had 3 shorter shifts and the end of the week 3 longer shifts. Although the week started off slowly, I was not prepared for what was to come. The first part of my week was fine except it was a tad boring. The second part of my week was terrible. Working 12 hour days and starting at 9 am everyday was very difficult. I am the type of person who needs variety and change. Yes we get rotated every 45 minutes to a new position but that doesn't mean anything. When you get assigned the same position every time you are sent back to the computer, it becomes very frustrating and boring. I found it difficult to get through the day and my attitude was negative from the start of my shift. Luckily, the coworkers that I am friends with, did make the time go faster. By the end of the week I was exhausted. As I sit here, writing this I am on my last of 7 days... finally tomorrow I get my day off!! Now onto more exciting things.
US Thanksgiving was the best holiday I could have spent here. Our housing team put on a thanksgiving feats for us on Monday Nov. 21st. They had lots of food, a live DJ, character meetings with Chip and Dale and Mickey and Minnie, as well as a scavenger hunt and a photo booth. It was a great event, the MC was fantastic and the lines to meet the characters were not very long. I went with on of my roommates and her friends. We all had a great time.
On Thanksgiving day, I was fortunate enough to be invited to one of my coworkers house for a feast. I spent the day with some of my coworkers from Launch Bay and then we headed to her house around 4pm. We had so much food to choose from, it was crazy. Everything was so delicious and homemade by my coworker. I got to meet her kids and all of her dogs. It was so nice to be around so many people and have such a great time. I really enjoyed myself and getting to see some of my coworkers outside of work was also nice.
Thats all for me today, I didn't have to much extra time to go anywhere last week.
