I'm the blond in the back row who's not in costume
We were MK North Custodial, Alumni Program/Fall 2008, and this was taken behind IASW. Our one manager (the uber tall guy in the back) called us his A Team
It was the last day for most of the people there
If anyone does Custodial and is told that the blue belt pouch (as modeled by Jared, the boy standing behind the girl in the hat) is optional, get it anyway. It's seriously a lifesaver. Also, if you have a choice between the ugly as heck blue and yellow baseball hat or the white straw hat looking one (as modeled by Elizabeth), get the white one. It protects your face and the back of your neck from the sun and is just so much more comfortable (and slightly more fashionable... but only slightly). The bottle carriers some of us are wearing were provided by our managers. Most of the time, I filled the bottle when I got home, froze it, and brought it to work like that. That way, I had ice water throughout the day, which was a real blessing when it was 98 degrees and humid.
I'm the blond on the right. This was taken during the Boo To You parade by a fellow CP who was at the party that night. For some reason, they were allowing CM's to get their faces painted (different departments on different party nights). I think it was because they were offering it to party guests for free and wanted guests to find out about it, and that was an easy way. Plus, it was fun for us (one night, the boys ALL got the girly makeup, which was hilarious). Laura really should have had her hair up, but no one said anything to her about it. The little black pouch on her back (if you look close, you can see it) is her rain gear. If you can get rain gear, get the pouch, too. Again, it's bulky, but you have it on you at all times, which is what you're supposed to do anyway. Managers hate it when it starts to rain and you have to run back to your locker to get your rain gear. Also, if someone asks to borrow your rain gear, SAY NO. You'll never see it again and it'll be your financial responsibility. If it stops raining and you take it off, don't hang it up. Just roll it up and put it in your pouch and hang it up when you get home. Seriously, if you let it out of your sight for any reason, you will never see it again. The only exception I ever found was is if you're working restrooms and could put it in the storage closet while you're cleaning.
Just fair warning to anyone who wears custodial whites and has tattoos that are covered by their clothes: NEVER GO ON STAGE WITHOUT RAIN GEAR. I'm being completely serious. Not only are you supposed to have it anyway because it's not good show to look like a drowned rat (and unless it's lightning, you're not allowed to stand under an overhang), but because they're white, these costumes are nearly see-through when they're wet. I wish I was kidding, but one day I forgot my rain gear and then it started pouring and one of my managers sent me to my locker to change because they could see the tattoos on my back.
