How to live life in work knowing you're in stressful situations

 How to live life in work knowing you're in stressful situations 


so i've just started a new job at Thorpe park.. 1st couple of weeks were amazing in the job, but then all was not as it seemed. Dark forces were at work. This is my story of how i over come everything i went through 


We had talk of drugs involved and i found out that two of my colleagues were dealing on park and it took a lot of courage to tell my support person that i felt uncomfortable knowing this was in my unit. 

make sure if you feel anxious about this type of thing happening please do go straight to your department manager or your team leader and take them to the side and explain the situation and tell them about how you feel rather than keeping it hidden inside like i did then thinking it over too much and worrying yourself silly. 


when you work shift work in customer service, communication is the main skill any employer will ask for in a front line job and you will need to communicate about your roster/rota so you and your manager know when you are working what days at what time. i didn't have any of this when i first started as Thorpe park completely messed me around and of course this made me incredibly angry. However i then had a meeting with manager and team leader and the manager said 2 days 1000 hours and the other 2 1045 hours so that this was a settled routine in the department for me because of the travel that i have to and from work. 

so to my tips

1) get yourself into a good settled routine

2) make sure you have clear signals and communication with your manager and/or your team leader so that you're both on the same page as each other 

3) if you have a special need like mine, make sure you have someone in the team or management that can act as the special needs person to help in any situation 


if you have all of this, you are good to go for an amazing career in merlin/aramark at thorpe park

Dealing with the after effects of a funeral and preparing for an interview

 Hi everyone, its been a while since I last posted,  I thought I would come on and discuss about the after affects of going to a funeral as im going through that at the current time. So I attended a funeral the 8th February for a lady who went to my church, she was a lovely friend of mine and well loved throughout.  From my personal experience, I came out the funeral and I found myself getting a little bit emotional and it was a feeling I've never felt before, grieving the loss of a close friend.  It was hard coming out of a lovely service and It was a little bit overwhelming, it was lovely making conversation with the family of the person who had passed. I appreciate that it can be hard for people to make conversation straight after a funeral service, especially at a crematorium.   I think for me, the part that hits me the most is when the funeral director put the flowers down outside after the service had finished  But now the after effects come......

Social media jobs and living with trolls

Hi everyone,  As a lot of you might know from my socials, a while back, I was promoted to Patron of Greavsey's Tuck Shop run by a lovely couple.  Being a patron is very high demanding as it involves being very hands on with every customer and spreading as much positivity as possible and interacting with everyone on the lives, making sure that the chat on the lives is super positive energy and filled with happiness and answering customer enquiries so that we deliver a 5 star service to everyone  Now whilst this is all good for our sweet shop lives, there is a darker side to it.  A lot of you who have been on the lives will know, there have been a huge amount of trolls and hate comments that have been posted about the managers which I'm not happy with and I know that the managers aren't.  As the Patron, I would like to address the situation.  If you are on social media and you are under 18 and commenting nasty things just so you feel better because you enjoy ...
