Congratulations on how things have worked out. I thinked what you have learned from this experience will serve you well long after the earned $$ have been spent. Things can change or eventually work out for the better when given half a chance. You can be proud of yourself for not only holding down a job but for following through a difficult period in the process. You get an *Atta Girl* from me.

Oh yeah, and I got an "oral warning" for being under in my till. The guy said it generally isn't a big deal and all my friends have gotten them but it's just annoying. I still like my job but sometimes I don't..like today I got told not to look at my cellphone in front of guests. I wasn't in front of guests, and I'm sorry for looking at the time.

rant over..I know when I get into rants my posts get unnesicarily long..sorry

Well, just wanted to say I OFFICIALLY WORKED ALL SUMMER! I am DONE-FINISHED. I wish I could say that, but the season is not over yet. Still have 3 months of working on Saturday I've met alot of friends, and I mean ALOT (basically my entire department) so, I am fine with it and I'll survive but I am so sick of six flags, let's just say it's gotten to the point where I don't even like going as a guest anymore. Today was my last day of work for the summer, I start school next Thursday, so it's back to weekends. I must say though, I'd choose work over school any day, at least I get paid and have SOME sort of fun.

This has been an overall great summer, probably my best summer yet, and I think I've matured alot(in some ways).

Okay, I'll stop now.

ETA- I know, I never stop talking but I forgot to add 1 thing

Also, I'm probably going to work at SF next season too, because I like it, but I'm tired of the games department. I might switch to Entertainment, Attractions, or I COULD do games again, but I probably end up doing entertainment so I have my foot in the door for working with the tigers, or at least getting an internship, hehe but that's a whole other story

Well Done!
I always preferred work to school but I was lucky to have great jobs with great people. Maybe if I got paid to go to school, I'd have liked it better. I guess I should say that...bad influence to the younger PT members. I am half joking though.

Well done Alyssa! You stuck at it so well, even with certain narky supervisors and guests.

I know you would be great at working with the tigers once you're old enough, I really hope it works out for you!!

Well, just wanted to say I might be done with Six Flags for awhile. I feel like I was treated like crap on Saturday. It's like they forgot how hard I worked for them ALL summer.

So, I wanted to go to Six flags for the fun of it. I went to fright fest saturday night. So I got to guest relations, hand the lady my I.D., and she says "Sorry, I can't let you in. Your I.D. is no longer valid because you haven't worked in two weeks. We can talk to your supervisor, sorry." To me she had a nasty tone. THEN she takes my I.d. which I needed to hand in with my uniform, even though that was taken care of and all and I didn't get into trouble for it. I was so frustrated at that point trying to think of how to get into the park. My friends had driven me there and my parents weren't home or anything so I had no way of getting home. So, I went up to the counter and demanded to talk to my supervisor. I had went up to a different counter, and the guy simply gave me a ticket to get in. I guess he didn't want to be bothered.

Sure, I got in afterall, but it just made me really upset. I worked hard all summer and JUST because I hadn't worked in two weeks I "was no longer employed". ARE you kidding me? So apparently I was laid off without knowing? It's not MY fault they took me off the schedule at 10 PM two weeks ago seriously. It's not my fault they didn't put me on the schedule. Wow, get the hell over it. If my friend Kelly doesn't work there next year, I'm not either. I work for them all summer, and I get treated like sh**. Well then it's over. Oh, and not to mention they didn't give me a bonus either, well yet. This is the first year they didn't. I freakin' worked 5 days a week all summer at the age of 15 years old. I stayed to the BITTER end of the season and you can't give me $100..Well go have fun without me next season. Seriously, I'm so pissed about this.
