Back to work
- She:
- So you have a lot of return people on your staff. That's good.
- Me:
- Well, mixed blessing actually.
- She:
- How so?
- Me:
- When someone comes to work for the first time they show up with the attitude of "I'm here to do some work." Then when the summer is over they reflect and think "Hey, that was a lot of fun." So when they show up to work the second season they come in thinking "I'm here to have some fun." It can be harder to get work out of 'em.
- She:
- I see. But still, returnees can be easier in a lot of ways.
- Me:
- Oh yeah. Training them is easier, they already know the job. But I still worry.
