Stupid Guest Tricks

As some here will recall, I spent seven years as a Railroad Conductor on the WDW Railroad before transferring to the Big Toaster. Today I heard that folks on the railroad are working mandatory doubles on account of not having enough trained cast.

And I got to thinking, maybe I should consider going back. Yes, it's a wee pay cut, but not that many dollars per year. Yes, it's back outside, but I would be back in the Magic Kingdom again. Yes, it may be harder to transfer into Guest Relations from Attractions, but the department offices are both on the second floor of City Hall.

So tell me, am I crazy to be considering this?

It sounds good. How long have you been with Guest Relations? If they are promising 40 + hours, go for it. But if it is lower in pay, you might want to wait. I have friends who work at Disneyland's QSR-Vending and they are working 52 to 60 hours a week. Crazy folks.

You wouldn't have asked if you weren't serious about a move. Your heart is a steam engine, make the deal.

YOu have to decide wihich is better: More hours, Less money or Less hours, but more money!

Sometimes opporknockity tunes but once.

Yes. Crazy About Trains ;)

Do what you love, till you can't do it anymore.

From your postings I have to come think of you as one of the very special cast members who go the extra distance to make the magic. So, from a selfish perspective, it seems like you would have more opportunities to bring magic into people's vacations from inside the MK. I know that I, for one, ride the trains a whole lot more often than I go into the Toaster.

That said, I'm sure you'll have an impact wherever you are.

No, you're not crazy. Believe me, life is short and you could be gone in an instant. Do what you love ~ it makes you an even better person enjoying his one-time only life. That makes an impact on others. Good luck.
