As most of you know, I work at the local "Fun Zone", Wahooz! I am whats called a "Team Leader" which basically means an assistant to the manager on shift. We take care of little things that crew members need help with so that the manager can take care of more important matters. Normally Team Leaders are scheduled in an area where they can move around and be pretty much everywhere because there are normally only one or two on a shift. Today there were six on shift, which basically meant that there were more team leaders then crew members. Because we had so many, there was no need for me to be somewhere accessible, therefore I was stuck in Laser Tag. Let me enlighten you to my perspective of laser tag. Its a dark, fog filled room full of sticky little boys that don't listen to a word you say, so when you turn the game off becuase they broke the rules of "NO RUNNING" (which you only mentioned 7 times before the game started, and 8 times during the game) they get mad and complain and whine. Now multiply this by 32. So when i found out i was going to be stuck in Laser Tag....I was less than thrilled. I went back there expecting to be miserable, but instead decided to change something, which in turn, affected my entire day. This simple change, was a change of attitude. Because i made that one little change in myself, i was able to have one of the best days at work i have ever had! I made things fun and was super excited when little boys came into laser tag! I gave them high fives and made one person on each team the "official 'NO RUNNING' enforcer" and was happy the whole day. What i learned from this is that no matter where you are at in life, whether it's work, school, or a situation in life....attitude is everything!
Lesson Learned.
