First Day at Work - Miami Everglades Campground

Today was our first day at our work for Miami Everglades Campground (MEC)...
Yesterday we met with the managers, Chuck & Nancy, to get our red MEC shirts and our name tags...We were handed the schedule for the week and what was going on for the week...Then we met Bob & Penny who were in the clubhouse...They showed us the kitchen area and the pantry area...The clubhouse has 3 ovens which are also convection ovens...2 refridgerators...2 sinks...2 large grills that are brand new...Last night was Bingo night and Bob was calling it 'cause we were off...
We met with the Activities Director, John, who showed us how the Complimentary Coffee goes for all the guests...Every morning, all the guests at MEC gets an 8 oz. cup of coffee and they gather around on the deck on the chairs that are on the deck and chat the morning away...It is pretty cool that the guests like this and come out for this event...Sometimes the managers will supply bagels and cream cheese for them too...This event is scheduled from 8am - 10am...The clean up was a breeze too...
The rest of the day went a bit slowly...There isn't much more that goes on unless there are big events like the Deck Reception that is this weekend...Or Wine Tasting with Bruce...Or a 60th Wedding Anniversary dinner...and the Holiday parties...I did some sweeping and Richard started cleaning the white deck tables 'cause they are very dirty...What will happen tomorrow is anyone's guess...so I do take in a crossword puzzle to work on...But we are allowed to grab a golf cart if it is available and go out for a ride and talk to the guests...We are encouraged to go to the "hosted" games like volleyball, bean bag toss, water aerobics, etc. and talk to the guests...Tomorrow I will try to take my camera to take pictures of what is going on...
As for the first day on our job of 3 months, I think it went well...
