Last Two weeks of Program

There are many things in this post that I could write about. Today was the last day I will have the opertunity to go to a disney park because I have a busy work schedule this week and next (Work). I might not be extending but I have a few different things planned that will hopefully potentially work (Seasonal) (Another CP). I also have a post that might not be helpful unless you are accepted into the program but hey why not include that stuff in here too (picking up shifts). You never know it could be helpful for those who work for the company in general.

Work: When you get your work location dont make any judgements on it that you have made about the area as a guest. It can be a whole new ball game once you work there. I love my work location. Not because I have any interest as to what we sell but because I love the cast. They are so much fun and really do make the area so much fun. Other areas look like lots of fun as a guest but It is not the case when you work there. Normally I get about 35-40 hours a week. That is of course when I dont give shifts away. This week i have 41 to start with (My goal is to end with 50). and next week I started out with 45 but picked up two shifts and am keeping a very very close eye on the HUB to see if more pop up. I have now have 58.5 but when looking at new years eve I want more like 16 for the day instead of 9.5. Anyways I am really honestly trying to burn myself out before I got back to jacksonville and sit around daydreaming of Bryant's day and waiting for the letters from my love.

Picking up shifts: Its fairly easy. You go to your work schedule to make sure you know hours you will not go into double time. What is double Time? Double Time is another over 16 hours in a day and a shift that starts or ends with-in 8 hours of your the day before or after that shift. You go to the extra hours area and start looking. Now I only pick up shifts in my area because I dont pick up shifts on my days off. Some weeks it is really hard to find shifts other weeks it is beyond easy. The other thing about picking up shifts is if you are taking a shift from someone then you cant go into overtime. Overtime is another above 40 hours as well as another over 8 hours in a day. Which is really hard to do sometimes. Anyways. You'll get the process down after awhile. Some people dont get it at all but I just smile and keep moving along.

Seasonal: As a CP going seasonal is fairly simple. If you have the requirements to do such. The only thing is that some roles dont have a seasonal status so that kind of stinks but a lot of the roles allow you to go seasonal. I have talked to my managers and they said it would be no problem for me to go seasonal. Which to be honest is really nice because I would love to have an easier transition into the company again. There is a new policy that as seasonal you have to work 150 hours to maintain seasonal status so in theory 25 - 6 hour days. So my suggestion is to honestly thing if you have the time to come down and work 150 hours. The reason I will be doing it is because 1. Jacksonville is only 2 hours away. and 2. I am coming back to orlando in may- hands down so I will be in the neighborhood enough for it.

Another College Program: I would love to be statused somewhere but it requires alot of waiting and I would like to be able to try different things out in the company that are a little more focused on things I like to do. I would love to work in Concierge or BBB. Its like this. I want to own my own daycare someday and Concierge is helping people with plans and situations and making the services better for them. BBB, I would be working with kids which, I am an Early Childhood Education Major. Photopass is another one of those roles I would love to be considered for. I have been taking pictures all my life so its just one of those things that I dont know if it will ruin my love for it. But I will still try. The only thing about this next program is I will not be staying in Housing. I will be staying off property. Bryant will have lived in housing for a full year and it doesnt  make sense monetarily for us to not to live together.

I hope this fills in some blanks and answers some questions. I of course will keep thing blog up once I go back to jacksonville.. Because I will be starting the process again.
