People come and go…

9/7/10

Can’t believe there are only seven cruises left…something like 25 days until I’m headed back to the Lone Star state! I have been on the early shift which is always interesting… something always happens in the middle of the morning time when all is a bit busy/hectic. Yesterday on the island was fun… lots to do a slight breeze and then just a plain sunny day. We had a moment of rain but I think Mother Nature thought Katy was opening and then realized it was me so she pulled back the rain clouds. A cloud came later in the day as well when shift was changing but I told Mother Nature it was Carly coming out not Katy, lol. Whenever Katy opens the island, it rains. When I say rains, I mean RAINS! Had crazy island times as well as good ones… the medical team was busy… broken arm and allergic reaction… things were going well and then BAM a random emergency. All was handled well by the Disney Island team so thank goodness for that. All in all we could enjoy the COCONUTS and SHELLS, COCONUTS AND SHELLS.

I’m sad my friends are leaving so soon. Katy is goofy and crazy which the counselors don’t really ever get to see, Carly is insane but in a good way… Darcy is also pretty goofy. They only see us when we are stressed out about this that or the other. We are all very different but we make a good team I feel. It’s hard though…morale is way down and people aren’t coming back… you’d think with such a large leadership team that there would be at least one person that the the counselors feel like they can talk to. We seem to all be intimidating (you YMCA people hush) so they go to our boss to talk about things that they could have come to us about. It sucks, since I try to be open and available to everyone and try to be in the space as a participant as much as possible. Hmmmm… I guess it’s another lesson learned… you can’t make some people happy no matter what you do. Make the majority happy and you should be okay but 100% satisfaction does not exist.

Oh well, just keep swimming.
