I am off for 20 of todays 24 hours. The only 4 I have to work are unfortunately 6-10PM. The big Holiday Thang is a night event so this evening I will be part of a training class. Apparently every thing is different when the sun goes down. It sucks sitting around all day but I cannot imagine the class itself will be overpowering. Plus I am will be in it with a pile of peeps I like.

I am having doubts about whether or not The Holiday Thang will be ready by its beginning date of Dec. 1. The woman in charge has never corralled this event before. The event coordinator that I have been working with in preparations (Peter Pumpkin Eater) seems to have a lackadaisical attitude about the whole magilla. Plus Da Park is wasting valuable time training Peter on working the attractions. That is time he can spend getting this shebangity-bang ready. There are enough carnies to staff the park as soon only 2 attractions will be open (train/carousel). That's a total of 4 shifts a day to fill. Da Park can live without another carnie for another month or two. We have groups of volunteers once a week, but never any other park employees the rest of the time. Seems to me there should be a minumum of 3 people working on this shit every bloody day. It also does not help when every day more boxes of shit arrive at Da Park. The director tells us "just find someplace for it". Kinda defeats the purpose of planning if you continue to disrupt things like this. I have looked at Youtube videos of this thang and based on what I have seen, I feel like we are only at the 30% mark of completion. There is going to be a lot of shit that needs to get done in the next 30 days. November should be nothing short of pure chaos.
But, as I have always said, there are 2 types of problems in the world. Chip Problems and Not Chip Problems. This def falls in column 2. I do what I can but ultimately if this is not completed, I am waaaaaay down the list of people who deserve blame.
