Your hischool and middle school orientations, i really dont care about because i dont have to worry about those any more :l, well, unless your cafeteria caught on fire, or any remotely amusing happened, dont bother

When I started work at Six Flags, there were three rounds of orientations: park, division (like the part where you worked, i.e. rides, food, entertainment, etc), and then actual training. They were horridly boring, except for the training (I was a rides op, so I got to learn how to work the rides).
Anyway, I remember during the park orientation, we all had to introduce ourselves for some stupid reason, and this girl said her name and had the nerve to say "And I want an [expletive] cigarrette." Hilarious. Our trainer was like, "Say that again?" She was like, "Oh, I mean I need a cigarette." She failed the general park safety test. Ah, so charmingly ghetto.

I only had orientations when I was starting my freshman year of high school. They just showed us around our classrooms and how big & wide our school is. It was fun actually because...we played games, take pictures, and meet my old friends =]

we had an orientation in school about our future careers and stuff. we had guest speakers and it was extremely boring. the teachers told us that the orientation would finish in an hour and thirty. but it finished in 2 hours and thirty. i hate it when that happens.

I've got to go to 6 2 hour orientations for student ambassadors. It should be ok. We've got to learn about how not to look like a group of idiots on our trip, haha.
