Hello Friends!
I have discovered some wonderful and exciting news today at work.
But first the bad news ;_; in two weeks I will no longer work in store operations at the Disneyland Resort. Sadly my twelve (and a half) years of service for the Madhatter will be taken to another direction. I thank and will miss all of my friends that I have worked with. I would also like to apologize to everyone including my managers for abandoning them just before the hectic holidays and Disneyland's 60th anniversary. As some of my close friends and co-workers might know that I am a hatwriter, embroiderer (I swear there is a difference at Disneyland) and an ornament personalization specialist and I happen to be the trainer for all of the above plus New Hire Trainer-and now I will be leaving them. To me it is really sad because I am leaving my family I have worked with for twelve years. To be honest, I was hopeful but wasn't really thinking that I would make it because I simply didn't want to get my hopes up too much just in case I didn't make it.
For the good news. I have received an excellent phone call today on my lunch break that I have passed the final interview and will be the new Character Sketch Artist at Disney's California Adventure. This is my third time applying for this position since 2011 and even more than that have dreamed of being a sketch artist probably since high school or earlier. This is seriously a dream come true for me and am very very excited to start next month. I am looking forward to meeting my new Sketch Artist family I will be working with at Off the Page. I come forth to you at Off the Page with open arms and mind and pray for your acceptance and patience for I am new at this
Thank you to everyone who I have worked with it has been a great pleasure and honor to get to know you and I thank you for all of your love and kindness as well. Secondly, I would also like to thank Off the Page and my new managers for giving me this opportunity to make artistic magic happen ^_^
