    Hi everyone :)

    I dont know how well you all read this forum, but for those who has been around for a while I'm the norwegian guy who got termed in July for using profane language..

    Anyways, I figured it would be fun to hear some short stories of incidents happening in Florida, as a warning and as entertainment :p

    I'l start right away..
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I was working as a seater in the Norwegian pavillion in Epcot one afternoon. The resturant was empthy except from one table holding only adult guests.
    Suddenly there was two doctors running through the resturant to help a someone in the park. The guests at the table asked what was happening, and I told them "Not to worry, that happens every time a princess is on her period" ;)

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Let the show begin!
     
  2. why doesnt it surprise me you were termed!!

    I was never caught for that one ;) Common, we have all said something we shouldnt have onstage, I just had the tendency to do it more often than others :p

    What I did get termed for was this one

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I was in the Norwegian bakery working the register. Then a young man looking very American (Texas style) approaches me, and while Im doing my job he starts talking about an upcoming execution in Florida. Eventually he asks me what I think of the death-penalty and I replied "Killing for justice is like Mickey!ing for virginity".
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    That one is a real warning :p

    one of my best friends is just like you .... the difference is that he wouldnt last a full week working @ disney, hell, he didnt even make it through a telemarketing (phone services) capacitation because of "unadecuate language", he was cursing the tape that is created for training purposes....

    Well, I dont like all te funny things that happend, since the joke often was on me..
    But here is one that is bound to cheer you all up ;)

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In the Norwegian pavillion, newbies are always given special "treats". The newbies (myself included) are most often so concerned with impressing the manager and their co-workers that they do anyhing you tell them to, no questions asked..
    So I was at work in the Norwegian bakery and when the clock was getting close to 1 PM I was asked to throw three buckets of water in the fake lake in Epcot. I asked them why, and I was told that "to prevent the lake to dry out, every pavillion has got to throw in three buckets of water each hour during daytime". Wonderfull, I though, and started carrying water.
    What made the scenario even more funny was all the turists gathering aound to see me carry water. It seemed they actually thought it was some sort of norwegian tradition :p

    Oh that one is just a small one ;) Im guessing I have about 30 stories like that :p

    Heres another one for your compliments..

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Another time we where having trouble with the coffee machine in the Norwegian bakery, so we decided to empty the entire thing. Turned out someone had forgot to clean it the day before, and so we now had alot of brown, sticky coffee-powder in a bucket.
    We decided to bake cookies for the newbies, and two hours later we presented them with fresh-baked "brownies", with sugar on top ;)
    Lets just say they didnt like the coffee..

    Am I starting to give people ideas here? :p
    Go out there and make me proud!

    Im generous, heres one more..

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I was a newbie and it was my thirds day on the job. It was my first time closing the bakery, so I really wanted to make a good impression on the manager.
    When the clock was quarter to nine my co-worker asked me if I would bother to do the illumination at 9 PM. Ofcourse I said I'd love to, and it would be an honour.
    He told me the switch was on the roof of the stave church (anyone seen it?), which almost made sense, since there were stairs halfway up. The rest of the way I got to test my climbing skills.
    At 9 PM I was hanging on the side of the church roof, desperately trying to find the switch. After all, I didnt want it mess up on my first closing duty.
    Well, aparently everyone else in the pavillion also came out to the the illumination, and so for five minuts I couldnt see for all the flashes photographing me still desperate to find the switch.
    When I eventually figured out I was the joke and came down I learned that Norway is the only country that DOESNT get illuminated, because the stave church is a religious symbol!

    hahahaha, all of the stories are really funny!! So I think we future noobs have to be careful when we get there, lol!
    Also I didn't know that the norway pavilion didn't get illuminated during the show

    Well, it doesnt.. Wich is really sad, the stave curches are really magnificent, everyone who has seen one will tell you..

    Kinda ironic, wouldnt you say, that Disney refuses to illuminate a stave church because its a religious symbol (thats been out of use for 900 years!), when their slogan is diversty..

    Beats me :p

    Let me know you want more stories ;) And feel free to post your own

    Great to hear you like my stories ;)

    Actually, the norwegian pavillion is reputated for beeing especially mean to newbies, so if youre not norwegian youll get off easier..

    Here is another one from the final day of the World Cup
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In the morning shift we told a newbie that someone had to declare the weekend had begun. We gave him a big bell, and made him toll it while walking around the resturant yelling "The weekend has begun".
    When the luch/dinner shift arrived we took another newbie, gave him the bell and made him yell "The world cup final has begun".
    We couldnt stop there so in the evening we had a finl newbie walking around wih the bell crying "The French has been defeated!"

    Thanks for your comments ;) Yeah, we had alot of fun :D

    Here is a short one without a real punchline..

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Everytime there is a newbie in the norwegian bakery we give him special assignments. A classic one that has been done a hundred times is giving him a bell, make him go outside into the morning rush of guest, make him toll the bell while yelling "The bakery is open!". When they would come back in we told them to do it again and louder, to attract costumers ;)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    if you all behave really nice Ill let you in on what snikkarbo and flikkarbo is ;) Trust me, you WILL like it!
