Now, I know I could be classified as weird, but I would hope that I am not a *Scary* weird.
today at the 4pm show a large family came to see the dogs. Okay, no biggie, come to find out one of the people that called to ask about the show was part of this family and I apparently took the call. He recognized my voice when they arrived and he kinda glomped on to me.
He's not the first, and it's really not that odd. I like it when I'm acknowledged as being the one that sold the show because then Dallas and Jake are happy lol.
But this guy was a little.... off. He was making comments about one of the other girls who had a puppy (calling HER a puppy and not the dog) and how he tried to pet HER (not the puppy). It's common for a lot of the older men to make some inappropriate comments about our teen girls. It's incredibly uncomfy and it's offensive and normally Dallas is good at getting the guys to change the subject.
Well, this guy then started in on me with cat calls. I have not been that uncomfortable since HIGH SCHOOL when my not-so-secret admirer wouldn't take the hint. It unnerved me and I went into hiding as best I could. Which is difficult when you have to be at the cash register, but I put Dallas between the guy and me.
If there's one thing I love about the job is that the guys are all extremely protective of the girls... and respectful (I mean yeah they can make comments about us being girly or what not, but they do have a line they won't cross). And they really pick up on when we are not comfortable with a situation - and they have no problem jumping in.
Anyway the show went off really well and I made sure to stay far enough away from the guy... It was not a big problem as I used gathering mics as my excuse for leaving the gift shop when his group came through on their way to exit.
Then, as we're closing up shop about 20 minutes later, the phone rang and I answered, the gang was a bit noisy in the gift shop so I stepped outside to the front of the gift shop (we do this a lot of the time) and the group with the weird dude was out there and while I am stil on the phone the guy once again starts doing these cat calls!!!! I was just so freaked out.
So I went back inside and told Dallas and Jake the creepy guy was out there and was scaring me, so Jake told me he'd walk me out. I didn't really want to seem all wimpy, but it was unnerving and I am very thankful he wouldn't take my no I'm okay for an answer. Jake went out and talked to the group while I headed for my truck.
So, yeah, I may have my differences with Jake, but all in all I am very thankful for him and how he takes his role seriously.
On a somewhat related note, right before the 1 pm show I was mumbling something about Tricia (I forget what now lol) and Jake thought I said I was single again and asked 'what happened to your boyfriend?' which I then said that I didn't HAVE a boyfriend and have never had one. He didn't believe me at first and then he fixated on that for the rest of the day lol. He kept telling me to get a boyfriend (thanks, Jake) and it became the running gag of the day lol. Dallas joined in, it was pretty embarassing. But in a fun way (hey we rag on David and Hannah so it's only fair!)... anyway, around 3:30 Jake called the gift shop and told me he wanted me to change the music that we play while people are coming in - okay, not a problem - and then he was all 'oh, and get a boyfriend'...
so after 2 years with Wildride they've finally found something to keep as a running gag with me... not sure, yet, if I like it or not lol
Alrighty, I gotta get moving around here... got tons of laundry... and I'm orderig 8x10s to hang up in my soundbooth at work...
