You know you've had a LONG day when....

They would call, I'd say no I don't want to ever work that location again, but if you have something open up anywhere else you can let me know... they'd call half an hour later wanting to know if I wanted to work that same location for a different day. :throw:

At least they aren't as sneeky as the managers that I've delt with before. They would call me back 30 mins later for a shift at a diffrent location, and then after I've been working there for an hour or so they would then pull me to the location that I hate to work at.

HAH! i only know one attraction, so they really can't do that to me, because i like geust control parades, and steam trains isn't themed to fantasmic!, and, um, my costume is at home, i can't check out any more of them...

why is fantasmic! such a pain in the ass, and why is the costume so shitty, i mean come on, it can't be that hard to figure out something that themes nicely to adventure frontier new orleans and critter country, i think they should theme Fantasmic! better, i'll get some friends to do guest complaints...

There was nights when I was in scheduling till 3am and I went home and went back to sleep and I got a call around 10 or 11 from scheduling asking me to come in, but I answered the phone "Scheduling this is Bob" :D

Ha ha! I've gotten that from you a couple of times.

(god... never pick out the loudest most annoying ring tone for Disney... altho it seems fitting, it's hard to try to ignore when you're asleep)

I have been too lazy to set up certain groups to have certain ringtones. . my ringtone is (literally) "Answer the damn phone. . . ."

On my caller ID, whenever Disney calls (who else would call except scheduling anyway?), it shows up on my phone as "Crap it's Disney" I can then make a decision if I'm going to answer it or not. . .

That's a really good idea I just may have to use that.

No one has posted here in a while and I was looking for a place to post my funny CM story. This seemed like the place. Poor Vicki, she had had a long day. We were working Spectacle in Dec/Nov'04 at the Studios. It was me and two managers backstage at YouseGuys stocking the glow carts that had to go out soon. Well, we were also trying keep up with the new flyer out at the register and with the other CMs running around. So all of a sudden, just when things were going well, Vicki comes running back there out of breath. I look up and ask her what's the matter. Here's what she tells us: "I ran..*pant* all the way from the TopHat cart(across the area)...*pant* a Guest...*catching her breath some* A guest...in an EC..had an ECV...and they died." Both the managers and myself just froze. "They died?!" I remembered then that my best friend was working over at TopHat...so I pressed her for details. She finally got out that is wasnt the guest who had died..it was the ECV. Relieved, we all had a good laugh.

Screwing up on the phone is a part of life. Try being a roadie (like me!), and see how much mirth you cause amongst your friends when you're home and dial "9" to get an outside phone line FROM YOUR OWN HOUSE! Damn jet lag. :x

Same here. Worked 19 days straight(people sick,vacations),phone rings@home"Thank you for calling Erv's Rental,can I help you?" My late mil says"What?"
Just as much fun as being hungover at work,trying to call home(phone# close to work#). My co-worker at the other end of the counter answers(the same way).And all I can say is "WTF are you doing @ my house?"

I was working a marathon shift the day after the annual CM party (surprisingly, only the non-drinkers showed up for work that day...) and had been riding the Steam Train waaay to many times around the park that afternoon when a fellow CM called me up on the radio to tell me "Dude, you just did the english spiel, then the french, then the english, then the french, then the english, then the french... ...want me to take that train for a while?".
A few of the passengers that chose to disembark at the station after the one I was riding to then were laughing and asked me wether or not I was an audioanimatronic that had gotten stuck...

[quote="SpaceRanger"]lol... my phone is usually across the room or in another room... but at least by having a different ring tone for Disney, I know not to bother getting up and running to the other side of the room to try to answer it ]


I agree. I have "Be Our Guest" play whenever Disney calls me. IT's really easy to ignore after that. :twisted:

Whenever WDW calls the Caller ID says Unknown Caller, so when I know works short and is begging me to come in I just dont answer.
