Basics, Balloons, and Butler Mood Swings

Just a heads up before you settle in to read this post, it's probably going to be fairly long. It's been a few days since last I wrote and I've been thinking about a lot of random things, heard some new music, and just have lots to share in general. I was going to try to keep it in chronological order but I think I'm going to categorize the events instead. Here......We.....Go....

Countdown to Excitement!

GET IT! It's like the old name of Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom! No? Whatever, it still gets the point across. I'm excited because the next few weeks are going to be filled with friends and family! Not to mention that it's spring break season so there are going to be extra people in the parks which always makes work more interesting too.

The King of Limbs

I'm not referring to the oak tree in Savernake Forest so any botanists out there can reign in their excitement. But David! If you're not talking about the famous tree what ARE you talking about? Thanks for asking because I'm going to tell you! For any of you not versed in the music scene The King of Limbs (TKoL) is the title of the newly released Radiohead album. Those of you who have never heard of Radiohead yet might want to reconsider your stance on music. This is one of only a hand full of bands that I will always love unconditionally. They've moved up in the world from a relatively unknown alternative rock band to 3x Grammy winner with 3 nominations for Album of the Year but who's keeping score?

"How far do you walk on that belt in a day?"

Never far enough to escape that question... I think the real answer is about five miles on an average day, but it's more fun to make up something witty or creepy than to give a real answer and the guests seem to like that more too. I've been working a lot since last we spoke! I picked up on of my friends extra shifts to I'm up to 40 hours this week! Cue the balloons and confetti... Well I was excited...

Evacs and Fanatics

Today was a good day by all accounts! I know I've had good days before but everything about today was fun or exciting and it was just all around enjoyable and I'm very happy to be reflecting on it now. I'm smiling just thinking about it.

A Happy Working Song

I had my first kitchen explosion last night. I freaked out and just tossed everything I was working with in the sink, poured a bowl of cereal and went to bed. It was a combination of frustrations last night. 1) I'm owed about $20 still by two of my roommates for supplies I bought the night we moved in. 2) Those kitchen supplies are running low especially paper towels which we currently own none. 3) Random bits of my food keep "mysteriously" disappearing but I have an idea who's eating/drinking it. Last, and maybe the final straw last night: 4) the butter.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

But I'm going to start with the worst of times because it came first. It's always easier to work chronologically. First of all, I forgot to clock out of my shift on Thursday. This isn't really a huge deal, but I was feeling a little stupid about it because it's a routine thing that after three weeks I should have under control. It's not a big deal for me or anyone at the company, but apartness the mansion took offence and decided to level some karma down on me for my mistake.

You can't win 'em all

I think I got a little worked up about nothing the other day. First of all, apparently I can't comprehend fine print. Within 10 days rather than more than 10 days before. Duh. That makes more sense. Thanks Missy for pointing out my stupidity. The hours bit was also a little hot headed of me. The more I see how Disney works the more I realize that EVERYONE is getting less hours than they want. Seasonal, part-time, full-time, everyone. CPs seem to get more hours than a lot of other people which doesn't seem fair in the big picture but there isn't much I can do about that besides give up my shifts which I can't afford to do either.

But less complaining more rambling!

Animal Kingdom and my first Disney rant

Happy February everyone!

After working only one day since last Thursday I'm really looking forward to some hours tomorrow. It's been a few days since I've written anything down so I'm going to do my best to get it all out. First, allow me to do a quick run down of my rankings for the Animal Kingdom where I spent the day today:
