three

I'm not a fan of closing shifts, mostly because they feel a lot longer than opening and also I'm not a fan of waiting around till I have to go to work, as said in previous post. But last night was actually a decent shift. Because of something I did to my leg, I'm on light duty for two weeks which means I can't be on platform, so I'm stuck at Greeter, Express etcetc.. yeah. ugh.

Anyway, so last night, an hour before we closed I met this awesome family, a little girl named Isabella and her sister, mother and father. They had just got into the land and Dragon's was their first ride. Isabelle didn't meet the height requirement and she was happy about it! I actually prefer it that way cause I always feel bad when they start crying. Anyway, the mother and sister went on the ride as the dad and Bella stayed behind. We chatted a bit and I noticed she was holding two large minions. We got to talking about how she got them, etc and I asked if she named them yet and she said no. That's when I asked her name, which is an awesome name, and then asked if she had a nick name. I told them my nick name and the dad is like "How about we name one of the Eeks? And Eeks can then live on forever?" And the girl was so happy and nodded and seriously, that made my night. I was flattered. So after that I escorted them up to Journey and had them put through the express and then had them go on Hippo. Bella was so excited and happy for what I was doing for her family and her that she gave me this huge hug and yeah..

That's what makes me remember how awesome my job really is.
