Ice is strictly a week day elf. Ice and Bounce and Magic and Snapshot take their work seriously, working Monday to Friday, in the slightly calmer but no less important week day environment. They deal with a lot of preschoolers, listen to a lot of cries, coo over a lot of babies and perfect their elven craft day in day out.
There are however, weekend elves. Those to whom elfing is not their main occupation. Those to whom elfing takes a back seat. And it shows.
In the changing room costumes are rolled in a ball. In the grotto rubbish bins are not emptied. A disproportionate amount of chocolate lollies are consumed. And the queue that is a ridiculous length moves slower than ever.
Last week there had to be a 'team meeting' with the weekend elves. On Monday we got complained at once again by the cleaning staff - red paint all over the changing rooms. We week day elves are not fans of these part timers.
This Saturday Ice has to work. You'd better watch out.
