Never have i ever met someone who said job training was the best part of the job. While my training wasn't pure torture, it definitely wasn't fun fun fun. The first day I'd say was the best because the new ushers got an insider look at the Filene Center, including a tour of backstage and the stage itself. I never realized how big the theatre is and the stage really is just the tip of the iceberg. after the tour, the real fun began. I won't bore people with the details but we went over everything from dress code to bomb safety. Since bag inspections are new this year at the Trap, my bosses were making a big deal out of getting us ready for checking the bags and coolers of 7000 people. Since I'm working on the lawn this summer, I'm guessing i'm not gonna be doing much inspecting which is good since its not really my forte. Nevertheless, I did the training for inspections and virtually everything else one would think could happen at a major venue.
The highlights of the training were meeting my coworkers and getting my gear. I'll be the first to say that I'm not gonna be on the cutting edge of fashion when I'm on the job. I mean my tie has music notes on it... But anyway the badge is pretty cool and all this government apparel makes me feel legit even if I'm only a GS-3 (means I'm not makin' bank). My coworkers seem pretty cool overall. I'm a pretty chill person and can get along with almost everyone so I figured this part of my job would work out. There are very few people i legitimately dislike and so far I've met no one at the Trap who fit into that category. Luckily, there are some college kids on the staff so I'll have people my age to talk to! They seem awesome and honestly doing things with my colleagues is a welcome surprise I don't think would happen with this job. Well that's all for now, my first show is this Friday with A Prairie Home Companion. I'll let you all know how it goes!
