Yesterday's work was complicated by the almost all day long rain. . .most linens are hauled around in a cart open to the air, so that was a no-go. Things have to be bundled into large garbage bags before transport when it rains. Every employee there has a particular role, so that's been fascinating to see, and the leaders and GEMs (guest experience managers) are very focused on not only the guests but on the employees, as well. They pitch in with whatever job needs doing. So far, I've enjoyed my first two days.
However, this was an area where I won't likely see much duty, though they want me trained just in case. The next couple of weeks I'll be doing more actual custodial things--AM and PM shifts, main resort and beach house--with two new trainers. Had today off, work tomorrow, then back on training next week for about three days, and another three days after that, and another three days after that. I should be all custodialized by then.
The CMs really are a friendly bunch--it's part of the culture there. I'm not so naive as to think there aren't tensions at times, but you won't see it, and I've not experienced any in my short time. The CMs pride themselves on doing a good job with guests, I can assure you of that. By the way, if you should be there in the next few weeks, and you see a guy named Mark from Los Angeles, that's me (name tags take a few weeks, so I'm using an old one!).
