First Day

Today I worked the Wild Creations counter, aka Build-A-Bear Seaworld style. This job was a lot of fun. This job has a lot of interaction with the customer, mainly with children. I will take any chance I get to work with children throughout this internship, and luckily I am scheduled to stuff animals for few more shifts. The process is very cute, the customer chooses an animal "skin" and we stuff it with our nifty fluff machine. Once we've stuffed their alligator, killer whale, koala bear, or other creature you can pick out a star make a wish and stuff it inside, sorta like heart for your animal. The outfits and accessories are endless to purchase for extra. We print out a birth certificate and give them a home shaped box. The process is nearly the same as Build a Bear, but with SeaWorld theme animals. I was easy to train according to my fellow coworkers. Donna, my main trainer, said I will fit in just fine; shes a very nice lady. Everyone's first question for me was if I had any cash handling or retail experience. They were all happily surprised to hear I have extensive training. The worst part of the day was being let out 3 hours early, as happy as I was to get home and watch Glee, its unfortunate I'm losing that pay. Sorry today's post wasn't very exciting, but nothing real epic happened today. Hopefully Thursday's shift will have a bit more edge! Haha. Have a good week everyone!
