Today was my first day on the job. It was an interesting morning. To start the day I woke up, as any other day, and got ready. While walking out to the bus stop I realized that I forgot my camera strap and water bottle that we are required to wear every day. I came back to my apartment and got the items I had forgotten, luckily I had time to spare. However, as I was boarding my bus I realized I forgot my name-tag as well. When I arrived at work I had to check out a spare name tag, April from Columbus is who I became. After receiving my new identity I realized I had forgot to apply an ever important layer of deodorant. Things were just not going my way. To top it off, it was raining....
But my day ended up being very good. My first encounter with guests were three older gentleman that kept saying what a beautiful girl I was. I was shocked...I was thinking I was just April with stinky pits. They were so funny, and to top it off they were in Steelers shirts! Later in the day, when the sun finally came out again, a family came up and they were all eating cookies. I jokingly said, "Where's my cookie?" Without thinking the little girl broke off a piece of her cookie and began to hand it over to me. I politely declined, but I was taken aback by the fact that this little girl was so willing to share with me, she ended up giving me a hug when her and her family were leaving. It really put a smile on my face. The rest of the day I was snapping pictures of groups of Steelers fans and making jokes that if I took pictures of Greenbay fans that the camera would break; I would eventually take their picture.
By this point I didnt care that my morning was not the best and that there was a gross odor coming from me. I was so happy doing my job. I never thought I would ever really like going to work.
Now I am watching the Super Bowl with my roommate Heather!!!!! It sure was a turn-around day!
