Lone Star Yogi RV Park - First day of work

Our first day of work at Lone Star Yogi and are getting an ear full on all the miscommunication and lack of help we are getting from the manager and owner.  The Directors they hired were here for three weeks and were just getting the run around while trying to get anything done; so bad that they were on each other's throats and getting mad at each other too much.  They decided that the crap they have had to deal with is just not worth it, and decided to call it quits.  So now instead of 6 of us working, we are down to 4 to run the crafts, train, hay wagon, games, wear the character outfits to name a few.  The characters have to make an appearance once a day during the season and can only be in the outfit for 15 minutes or they will fry. 

We also got the Yogi train out and all of us learned how to drive it and take it around the campground.

Getting ready for our first weekend we were cleaning the recreation center, cleaning the stove and experimenting making pancakes and sausages, putting clean plastic on the tables the kids use for the ceramics and shirts, painting some ceramics that do not have a painted sample, to name a few.  (The directors are now thinking they may stay, but we will find out tomorrow.)  

Thursday is a dry rehearsal day where we will get into our animal costumes and go to the place where the kids will "wake up the bears."  Saturday will be the big day here - that's when the bears officially get woken up, the train goes around the campground, and the recreation center opens.  I will post our daily activities as they occur.  Today we were still getting the rec center ready - I painted another ceramic, swept the kitchen floor, and we all worked on the tattoo machine.  Isn't this crazy - I get paid to paint ceramics!  The "directors" were made another offer and made some demands that were honored, so they decided to stay.

We have been so busy selling ceramics that we have run out of most of them.  One day a couple came in with their young son who really wanted to paint a dragon and the only one left was the one I painted for the display.  He was so distraught, he started to cry, so I sold them the dragon I painted and told him that he could paint it and make it better.  Made his day.
