As scheduled, we worked yesterday from 9 AM until 11 AM, and then again from 3 until 5 PM. That gave us a chance to get experience doing check-outs and check-ins, along with the normal reservations. We both are getting the hang of the system now and can already see an increase in the customers. We are only a week or so away from the first big event of the summer season - a classic car rally - which is expected to give us our first sell out of the year. We had better know the system by then.
Our paperwork was also completed yesterday so it looks like we are officially on board. The folks that we replaced have been coming here for 4 years, which again, is a good example of the satisfaction that people get from working here year after year. They didn't come back this year as a result of surgery that the wife had earlier this year. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been offered this opportunity. So far, we are happy that we received the offer and are looking forward to the summer months.
Today is the last day of our first work week. We will work one block of time between 3 PM and 8 PM and have Thursday and Friday off before beginning our full schedule on Saturday. It appears that the weather will improve enough for us to schedule our first trip to Yellowstone on our days off. That is something we have looked forward to since we left Cody in 2010. We're off and running with our new opportunity and don't miss anything about Vista, CA - especially the long hours, intense sales pressure and ecalls in the middle of the night...
