2 weeks of Easter
I haven't cared to celebrate Easter since I was told I wasn't allowed to participate in those egg hunts for 13 and under, which was when I was about 16. What can I say? There's perks to looking young and one of them was my favorite holiday activity. We seriously need an adult version, get it together! While scouring Craigslist I see an ad to be the Easter bunny for a couple weeks and jumped on it. Having to stand there in a costume hugging kids for a couple hours a day and get paid? Sounds pretty sweet. When I got to the interview she liked me so much she offered to make me assistant manager (I couldn't get manager because I didn't have a car). I was stoked because this would be almost a real job and look amazing on a resume.For the most part the job was easy enough, learned on the spot, and the parents were fairly nice albeit a little too anal about how their child's picture with the Easter bunny is going to look. The suit was hot and sweaty, the mall was outdoors and hot enough it melted our keyboard. Twice. The part I hated was they didn't offer overtime. For the days I worked over 8 hours they transferred the extra to other days and I couldn't work over 40 in the week. The last day was also the first day of a pay period so I didn't have these restrictions. I got there before anyone else and a few hours in our district manager showed up saying she wanted me at her mall since she was short staffed. She promised at the end we would throw everything in the storage to deal with tomorrow, then give me a ride home. She had also praised her team so much, when we got there her team was so whiny and rude I couldn't believe it. We closed an hour later than we were supposed to and she decided she wanted to box up everything right there. I almost passed out a couple times but persevered through an almost 17 hour shift. I laid in bed for 2 days which is why it took me so long finally crawl out from my blankets and write this. That and the fact that I went back and forth on whether or not I should. Mostly because God forbid anyone at the company sees this and gets mad when they're still holding my paychecks. On the plus side we made enough to get the bonus, which means I get about 19 extra dollars altogether.Happy Easter everyone!
