My long week of working the Dome is finally over. My week started by selling parking passes to the vendors for the first two days. (Which always results in whining and moans about how they just spent 3,000 dollars on their little 8×8 booth square and they shouldn’t pay for parking). The next five days were spent outside in the lot setting up the parking lots, parking cars, taking money from customers (man, it is so hard to be nice and polite to complete assholes and self-rightous people) and training new employees. (This job is basically everything your parents told you not to do: Don’t play in traffic, don’t talk to strangers, don’t play in the rain and etc., etc., etc.). The show in general has been better in previous years. (Better food, more booths, more customers and certainly nicer vendors.) Sunday was the worst day, evryone is tired and it seemed like every customer was pissed about something. (Price of parking,ticket price, parking availablity and the weather; fucking rain). It was the last day though, so you can’t complain to much.

Ugh, I have survived a week of the RV Show, it wouldn’t be bad except that the customer base is made up of two types of people. The first type are old white men drives their diesel truck/Cadillac (basic gas hogs) coming to buy a over priced item and then bitches about 6 dollar parking (Can you explain the logic in that). The second type are the people who assume that anyone who works in a parking lot can’t count, so they need to tell you how much they are giving you and how much chance you need to give them. (sheesh, because I didn’t learn basic math in the SECOND GRADE!) Of course then there is the people who actually work the show. (They all think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but in reality they is just one step above a used car sells man.)

So I got about four days off and I got no idea what I will be doing either.

I will keep you up to date.
