Such is the life WIP

A bit of a vent art type thing.


DISCLOSURE: I am not representing the Walt Disney Company as a whole. This is my own experience and my own only. I do not represent Walt Disney, the properties, or the company at all in this post.

So basically,
I’m a cast member at WDW Florida and I’ve been here since January 20. I’m going home soon in August and it’s just been worse and worse each day at work. I work at the food place of one of the busiest and cheapest Disney Florida resorts, not a park, and people are worse when they feel at home. Guests are rude and yell at you and they leave all their trash either at their tables or on top of the trash can. And why even leave your trash on top of the trash can and not bother to throw it away. It’s 2 seconds extra, like…??? And the other day I had someone yell at me because we were out of cheese pizza and I got in trouble for offering her pepperoni when I didn’t know that she didn’t eat meat.
I’ve been loosing a lot of hair since I started this job too. I usually have very thick hair and a lot of it too so hair loss isn’t new to me but ever since I started here I’ve been loosing way more than before. I recently had 4 days off in a row and I saw the least amount of hair loss I’ve had in a shower all year basically. And last night when I washed my hair I lost what I now consider the usual amount of hair loss. I added some rosemary oil to my hair to help it grow and stay on. Tonight, I washed it again to get the oil out and lost an even more insane amount of hair. Usually that’s what I’ll loose after 3 days or so. This time I lost it all in one go.
My managers stress me out because we’ve gotten the strict one paired with the even stricter one all past month. My coordinators are either too chill and no one knows what they’re doing or too strung up and she expects us to close 30 minutes early and every single night regardless of which cord is in charge, we still close 15-40 minutes late. I get home at least by 1am or later. It’s just bad.
This art is about this specific hair loss experience in this one hair wash shower. My costume is hung on the shower door to show what’s stressing me. My phone has an alarm set for 4pm, the time will say 4:15.
The time actually has a lot of meaning. My bus to work leaves at 4:25 and I have to leave my apartment at 4:15 to make it on time so I actually do have an alarm set for 4pm to remind me to get ready for work. And it’s also still ringing 15 minutes later because that’s the earliest we’ve managed to close at ever since we got these new cast members 2 months ago. So it shows that I’m going to miss my bus and that we’re usually 15 minutes late to be done.
I’m in a collapsed sitting position because of how much hair I lost and I’m planning on showing very little hair on my actual head to show just how much I’ve lost over these months.

It’s been stressful. Thanks for listening if you made it this far. Hair growth and strength tips are appreciated since that oil doesn’t seem to be doing anything :(
