Patrick had been in the job since early 2001.
Chief flight attendant of Soarin' Over California.
Every few minutes, he gave a spiel during the pre-show, but he didn't take a break. Instead, he talked to the guests inside about keeping their items, watching their kids - then he'd go back to the pre-show. And then he'd go back to the guests to remind them to pick their stuff up.
It was hard at first, bouncing about like that between groups.
Group 2, then group 1, back to group 2, and group 1, and then group 3...
But he was used to it now.
Swapping and changing between groups kept things interesting. It kept him on his toes and his mind sharp. There was no room to forget or lose track.
But Patrick adored his chief flight attendant job.
He couldn't think of anything else he'd rather do with his life.
