My worst job...EVER!
Every year this time, I think about my first and WORST job that I've ever had. You're probably wondering, "Why do you think about it the same time EVERY year?" Well, I'll tell ya. I was in the 11th grade. This company called Holiday something was hiring at the mall. A few of my girlfriends worked with them during the Christmas season. Well, they seemed to enjoy being little elves and taking pictures of the kiddies with Santa Claus. Well, that's what they told me anyway. Hmm...I could do something like that. Seems fun. AND I've always liked taking pictures. Right? Well...little did I know.
Christmas and Santa came and went. Another holiday was approaching. Which holiday, you ask? Easter. Who comes to the mall during the Easter season? The Easter Bunny!!!! Yay! *clapping ecstatically....clapping slows and fades completely out* Yeah....just like that. Well, I applied with this Holiday company. While applying, the lady informed me that all of the photographer positions had been filled. She then asked me if I'd like to be the Easter Bunny. Me, not having a clue, said, "Yeah...I don't mind." I didn't know any better ya'll. I was only 16. LOL I was more excited about having a little part time job. Well I'll be damned if she didn't hire me on the spot. HA! That was easy. Right? That should have been my second clue. Well after going over what I was getting paid, she advised me to make sure I dress as "cool" as I could. *shrugs* Ok! Well, I showed up and was escorted to this back room in the mall. There it was. The Easter.Bunny. Head, clad with long bunny ears one place and the body hanging on a coat rack. Luckily, I had on my Nike biker shorts (had to have them after seeing EU's 'Doing da butt' video - ha ha) and tank top. The photographers assisted me in putting on my Easter Bunny suit. Then came the head. I didn't have that thing on two minutes before I was overwhelmed with heat. It was the worst.
Next thing I knew, we were walking in the mall to my.....bunny nest? hahahaha All the little kids kept running up to me. Easter Bunny! Easter Bunny! Pulling on me and shit. I wanted to put my rabbit foot up their butts! ! hahahaha Get away from me you pesky kid. hahahaha Terrible! I know! Anyway, we finally made it to the "bunny nest." They sat me in this big straw chair. ARGH! I was ready to go! Too bad I had four hours to go. Luckily, they gave me a break every so often. Not only for me to use the bathroom but to cool the HELL off LITERALLY. I felt like I was in HELL up in that bunny suit. Hair and quasi-fur balls kept getting into my mouth. I couldn't get them out. I kept spitting and gagging. Where the Easter Bunny's mouth is, is where I looked out. One time, this little girl saw my eyes and she was like, "Somebody's in there!" I'm thinking, "No sh*t sherlock!" She was trying to dig all up in the bunny's mouth. I politely scooted her off my lap. THEN to make it even worse, my boyfriend and his friends came up to the mall. He knew I was the Easter Bunny. Ofcourse, he thought it was the funniest thing. HE even went so far as to come over and sit on my lap. From that point, I was SUPER embarrassed. My parents came too. Ofcourse, they thought it was the cutest thing. I just couldn't wait for the holiday to be over!
Between all of the above, crying kids, know-it-all kids, etc. I couldn't take it anymore. Needless to say, I didn't last too long. I quit that job. I mean, I tried to hang on as long as I could. BUT...I just couldn't do it. So, my hat goes off to those who work as the Easter Bunny. Couldn't be me.
