Didn't have a chance to watch - but can attest that the above comment is absolutely 100% true. Eat dinner or wait until end of shift and hope the managers are feeling nice? Easy enough decision.darph nader wrote:It was FREE,reason enough.
Confessions Of A Disney Employee
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

It was too funny!
The only parties I ever worked that weren't chock full of fogies were grad nights, no free food in those.

I've worked a couple of conventions where we got left over food afterwords, the first one I remember cookies and popcorn, and the second one had tons of Mickey rice crispy treats. I scarfed down 2 or 3, but coworkers were grabbing hand fulls to take home.

Yeah, it pretty much is all true. Don't think I knew this kid though. Worked in my area but might have been at another time. Joanna, know anything?

I remember while working Fantasmic!, on same nights, we would get a whole box of desserts from the Dessert Buffet and we would all share them: chocolate covered strawberries, biscottis, macroons, Mickey Rice Krispies Treats, etc...........5th Dimension wrote:I've worked a couple of conventions where we got left over food afterwords, the first one I remember cookies and popcorn, and the second one had tons of Mickey rice crispy treats.

Your management team would screetch this to a dead stop if I was there. Can't cook. Won't cook. Don't wanna learn. I sure can burn though. ;)DisneyMom wrote:HA! Our Management has figured out how to have US feed THEM.....They hold Chili Cook-Offs and Pie Baking Contests
