Parade

Today at SeaWorld, we worked on the parade, and I have to say, the dance is coming together pretty well. I ended up leading the second parade after being tossed in with Deb, and despite being thrown to the wolves, I think I nailed it—hitting all the timing marks flawlessly. When it ended, though, one of the bigwigs decided to yell at me for not saying everything "properly" or doing some of the calls exactly as they wanted. I pushed back because, honestly, I’ve led parades over 15 times during Christmas without a single complaint. Maybe if they want things done to a specific standard, they should provide proper training with cue sheets, timing, and directions. It’s just another example of SeaWorld’s classic disorganization. I was pissed and didn’t hold back, telling him what I thought about the lack of preparation. He kept insisting he wasn’t yelling, but his tone said otherwise. It was frustrating, but I’m proud of how I handled leading the parade despite the chaos.
