HMNS 1

So day one was ok. From morning till noon we took a tour of the museum, but not just any tour, it was more like the Behind the Scenes Tour.  Who know that there is a underground level where all the action takes place. The museum ha numerous hidden doorway the lead to hidden room. See that beam that has some kinda promotional poster, go behind it touch the right spot and it reveals a flight of stairs.  I think my favorite part is level 7, the roof top of the museum. There is a small green house there, they grow all plants that you see in the building. You can see the Houston skyline. The not so good part of the tour, when touring the Butterfly Center, there were live bugs in captivity...the had the worlds largest f*ucking spider, the Goliath Bird eater Tarantula!!!! Shit that nasty thing was huge! 1 foot leg span! No sir, not me. 

SO what will I be doing there. Depends, I will work for Visitor Services, so pretty much every where. Ticket taker at the exhibit halls, selling tickets at the box office, monitoring the butterfly center so the kids are killing the bugs, working the I-Max and planetarium, or sitting at the help desks. The other half of the day was just a presentation of the museum and history, and meeting different people in different departments. Tomorrow we have training all day in some departments we might be placed in. 

I get free tickets every month 2 of them, and they never expire! The mixers, well we get to dress up for that. Then next one is on Halloween Night and its from 8 till midnight, come in your best costume. Some people get married in the butterfly center, so after we close we come back dressed up and attend the weddings, birthdays, Bar Mitzvah, and other parties. 

So that was today in a nut shell.  Im kinda tired.
