Busy day

It was a busy day today doing all the calling and bookings for my NYC trip. I got my hostel booking done and one of the tour in NYC done too. What's left of the rest are the booking for transportation and another shopping tour to Woodbury (highly recommended by my Aunt Irene). Just so you know, I'm going to NYC all by myself. It's my very first time to travel so far, and alone. I don't know what to say but I guess I'm better off this way.

Well, I thought I have plenty of time for the day because my work at the water park starts at 4pm. And...I was wrong! I was still rushing myself eating and ran to work at 3.45pm. The snow is getting thicker day by day... Luckily I have my boots on, but still its hard to walk on the snow. Btw, Cathy got me a really good deal for the boots and she even gave me a $10 coupon for buying it. :)

Working at the Water park for 5 hours was like 5 years to me. Time passes really slow for work today I don't know why. Nick asked me to stand at the orange slide (the spot where water splash directly) and rotation supposed to be done but I have stood there for like 2 hours, nobody's coming to take over and my body was all wet. Moving to the next spot didn't help much because I'm already wet and it was freaking cold when the wind blew on me. What a job.

Then, I met a new workmate and we were rotated at the same spot. He's new to me though he has been working at the water park for 9 years, I have seen him around some times but never really spoke to him before. So, this time we get to know each other as there are no guest coming to our spot. He has a strong Mexican accent and sometimes it's really hard to catch what he said. He's a fire fighter and a nice person, he taught me a lot of things about lifeguarding and he even offered me and my Brazilian friends back to Martha's. The funny thing is, I forgot to check or ask for his name after a long chat with him while he kept mentioning my name when he talked to me. Feel so ashamed now.

Nick told me to go for the lifeguard training tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be working from 8.30am till 1.15pm. Training would be from 4pm till 10pm, unpaid. Should I go? or not?

Sayang poor dear. Have to stand there suffer for 2 hours. Better take care and not fall sick. Well, if bb have a choice of not going then should be alright. Since it's unpaid. If bb choose to go, then have to be very alert. Because lifeguarding is not really easy unless they made it easy. Becareful if bb going for the training.
