well on alcatraz its foggy 300 days outta the year and the wind chills you to the bone...its even worse when its raining in fall and winter...the temp drops to the low 40s sometimes and all they give us is a fleece or a windbreaker... :shock: there are a few "heavy jackets" and everyone fights for those...

i usually lose...people always expect the so cal weather in SF and u can usually tell a tourist by their bright jackets and sweatshirts that say " I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO"...

Wow we must have went on one of those other 65 great looking days. Sun was bright an shiny!
[WAY THE HELL OFF TOPIC] Just by coincidence I just finshed watching the movie "Murder in the First" About a guy in Alcatraz who killed an inmate after spending three years in solitary. Good Flick. [/WAY THE HELL OFF TOPIC]

Yeah I'm really glad that we have the wool jackets but it sucks when it rains. Because we're stuck outside so much, they absord a lot of water and they get soooo heavy the rain gear doesn't cover them and they smell like wet dog.

so i hear, it's been dry the whole 5 months i've been working here, so i only have the stories of other to know how to dress, i hear though, that if you wear thermal underwear and just the normal jacket, it's not so bad. (that's for the rain so that you dont smell like wet dog)

I would where our other jacket but oh my god is it hideous who ever decided that poop brown was a good color should be shot. I'd rater smell like wet dog than wear that ugly thing.

after spending last winter on the cloumbia.... thermals are a must. Oh wait there was the moment in time where someone decided that canoes HAD to open with the park during Christmas. Nothin says lovin like opening at 7 am and having the dock iced over while you're wearing stupid moccasins

Heavy thermals & layer, layer will get you through late fall & winter @ DLR. On stage can be bitter cold, unforgiving environs.

Layers allow you to peel/ put on. Only way to go!! Don't forget your issue cloves & white neck scarf. One yr. Custodial screwed up order count & warm, white neck scarves were like finding gold! No white scarves could be found after 4 p.m. I gave up freezing & finally ran to TDA, bought a white scarf with a small Pooh stitched on the end & was WARM! Didn't get caught for over a month. When manager finally saw my "entire" scarf in dept. office she told me the pooh scarf couldn't be worn on stage. Looked @ her & smiled as I went to the top. Final call]

A guest offered me $250.00 cash for my Custodial jacket in 01. Thought he might be a mystery shopper or??? Was so stupid,

told him my jacket was not for sale @ any price. Would I be this stupid again? Yes :roll:

That's when you wear socks too ... and lots of hot cocoa. That is what makes the mansion costume great. Skirts are deceptively warm.... -gins-
