Saturday, June 14th was the Opening of the Children's Museum of Phoenix. My employer was opening weekend sponsor so I volunteered to help. From 10:30am - 1:30pm I was supposed to hand out cookies. When I arrived there were too many volunteers already at the cookie station, so instead I partnered with a guy, Jeremy from T2365, to be his handler as he was going to wear the Target Dog costume from 10:30 - 1pm. -side note- the Target Dog's name is Bullseye
After this I had 30 minutes to volunteer so I was sent to one of the trolley stops. At the trolley stops they had at least 2 volunteers together, so they sent both Jeremy and I to take the place of 2 Kohl's volunteers who made a dash to leave as soon as I we got there. In each station they had water and goodies. He left 30 minutes later as he was not able to stay longer and I opted to stay there for the remainder of the time until around 4:30pm, when the event was to end.
At all the stops they had Krispy Kreme donuts except for the one I was sent to since there was a person from a local cafe who had a chocolate fountain with goodies to dip in. She was to be there for the entire time 9am-4:30pm. So she and I are there and I mentioned I was staying there until the event was over. She then called someone from her restaurant, bitched to the person on the other line how hot it was and how not too many people were coming by this particular trolley stop. She then proceeded to pack up her stuff, and left. Oh and she left the linen on the tables dirty with chocolate. I thought it was rude of her to do that. Not because of me staying by myself but because she didn't fulfill the commitment her restaurant made.
So I am there by myself with nothing but water and informational pamphlets to give out. Aaron came by around 3pm to make me company for a little over an hour until the people taking down and packing up the stuff came. Thanks Aaron.
Overall I had a super fun time. Although the museum is not completely finished, it is looking really good.
