DAK QSR EHH shift

Or in Disney worker talk, Disney's Animal Kingdom Quick Service Restraunt Extra Hours Hotline Shift.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I have been busy, whether it be work or more work, its been hectic.

To explain the title, yesterday I ventured into the largely unexplored realm of extra hours beyond my written schedule. What did I find you might ask? A long line of acronyms essentially leading me to working at the Tusker House in Animal Kingdom. When I read the description online, I figured I would be standing behind the counter handing food to people and the like. When the manager saw that I was custodial trained and had no food handling certification, I was officially a busboy. I actually had to work for what seems like the first time since I was here. I began my day by being shown the trash run by a squirrelly little mexican looking guy named Ulysses. After learning the run, I spent 3 hours pulling overflowing garbage bags because between 1pm and 4pm people mysteriously get hungry and go eat at the nearest place which so happened to be Tusker House. Although I actually had to work, it wasnt all that bad. In the end with my regular shift, I have 4 hours of overtime for the day and 6 hours of that pay has the QSR bonus added to it.

Lucky for me, I do not have to be at work today until after 8 pm, unlucky for me, I am working until 4:15 am Monday morning and then return to work at 3:30 in the afternoon. This week Nikki and I plan on picking up as many extra hours as we possibly can, my goal is to see if it is possible to get a 200 dollar check from these people. Mickey Mouse, Uncle Sam, and Price Managment are formidible foes when it comes to dragging money out of them.

Check back later for out Disney play adventure updates which will include descriptions and pictures from the Pirates and Princesses party that Nikki and I attended. Thats all for now.

Until next time,
Kyle

Doesn't seem like it should be too hard to get $200. I got $176 last week, and that was only working one double. If you wanted to save money, perhaps you should have went with a 3 or 4 bedroom storage closet so you could keep that extra $13 a week.....
