Hah, glad to see I wasn't the only one who got sunburned yesterday
Was at an outdoors location. All the other locations have a shop of some sort, but this was only the mooring, so I was outside all day. Didn't bother putting suncream on, thinking I'd be fine, as I never really get sunburned and I always need to get a slight sunburn the first time and after that I don't really get a sunburn anymore.
Today I was at one of our 2 busiest locations, at the Rijksmuseum and it was as busy as a week ago (also on Saturday), if not slightly busier. Had a hell of a busy day, but I didn't really mind, makes the time fly too
Bit hectic too tho, cos apart from the normal tickets that need sold, I also need to keep an eye out for the reserved boats and help the people who booked one of those, tell them where their boat is, etc etc. And then there's also the people who've already booked a bus tour (for example to the Keukenhof, Flowershow) on the internet, but need to come to us to exchange that for a voucher. Had one lady with 5 different tours, and I need to call all those through. So just when you think the line is almost gone, it grows rapidly again as it takes a while to get all those excursions sorted out.
Ah well, joys of work, but I get paid nicely for it. I actually got a pay rise this week, even after 2 months already, because they're really pleased with me, and the commission can become a very nice amount on these busy days.
Really love the job though, I wouldn't do it if I didn't like it but still get paid the double I get now. Especially with the long days I make, I really wouldn't cope if I wasn't enjoying it.
But must admit, it was great to be relieved from my battle station around 3pm
