New Job

So, I have a job working with Santa over at Lloyd Center. I got the job on the 6th, started on the 9th. I talk to kids and take pictures of people with Santa. I get to give good kids candy or stickers, and goofy little folding crown things with fake reindeer antlers on them to wear around (sometimes the parents or adults who visit Santa take them too.) It is actually really enjoyable. I just really wish my boss and/or pay was better for my hours. But I REALLY enjoy the actual work.

That being said, today at work there was a grandmother there with her two granddaughters who really wanted to visit Santa. But the grandmother had some questions about pictures, prices, visiting, all sorts of stuff... but was deaf and couldn't ask Santa or my boss. So I jumped in and signed with the grandmother. It was AMAZING. She was so incredibly happy there was someone she could sign to. It made me feel so great, especially when she thanked me for learning ASL because more people should know how to. I only feel bad that more people don't learn ASL unless they feel they have to for some reason or another...
