A first time for everything
October 29 2005
I wanna go to the parks. I've been here for quite a few months but not really hung out in the parks.
I don't wanna go alone though. . .and my roomies aren't home yet. . .and I know they've both consumed alcohol tonight
I baked Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Bread tonight. YUM!
I had a traning shift tonight. we Early Released 2 hours early b/c the scheduler is dumb.
it was kinda funny. They put me out to work at the wagon because I've never done it before(pretzel Wagon) well i got out there and the Palm Pilot that we do orders on decided it was gonna be mean. I couldn't get my number in. there were too many clouds in the sky. the printer wasn't printing recipts. . .ya know. . .the "usual". well, pretty sure as before mentioned i'd NEVER worked there before and I had to take orders on a napkin and do all the adding in my head. now this is no problem in a location I know the prices for. . .lets just say I learned them really quickly, and had 3 sides of a napkin covered in orders I had to key in once the Palm started working.
but it wasn't so bad, and we got out at like 9:30
ha! i managed to work at Mrs. Potts every day this week. I wasn't scheduled there. . .but pretty sure I worked there!(45 minutes yesterday and helping close tonight)
I also enjoy the show Tuckerville on TLC. . .it's all around nashville. and I miss nashville.
Costuming
October 26 2005
There are some people that seem to be interested in what I wear to work on a daily basis. So I decided to share this information with the general public. . .
This is the LOVELY halloween costume. I wore it for the last time on Tuesday night, But i really really wanna keep this T-Shirt
The OH SO LOVELY Toon Town Costume. . .GAG. it's kinda uncomfortable. . .i will have to go with some larger shorts. . .well, pants now that it's cold in Florida
Then there's the lovely fantasyland getup. . .Tomorrrow will be my first time wearing it(today) and by the end of thenight I'll be covered in Ice Cream, because that's just how it goes in Mrs. Pott's Cupboard.
That is all. . .more photos are in my photobox.
the other end of the telephone
October 25 2005
The lady couldn't do anything for me, she had to transfer me to the Sales Department.
Well I get transferred over to some random sales department and the guy on the other end asks me where I live for the purpose trying to get me a new card. I tell him Orlando, and then He asks for my mobile number. I start to give him my number "615" and he stops me in order to inform me that that's a Nashville area code. I told him that's where I was from, but am in Orlando for the semester. yada yada.
turns out that the random sales center I was transferred to was in Antioch, TN and the sales rep I talked to recently graduated from MTSU. . .
talk about wierd. . .but he was very helpful in assisting me in beating cingular at their own game.
Resort Guests Only
October 24 2005
Labor Operations is calling CP's to come to work. . .it's pouring down rain outside, but the park must open
Bus will be @ my housing complex @ 11:30
that "bus" was a 15 passengar van. . .yea.
I was one of the 14 people that managed to get on it.
arrived at Vista(other housing complex) and was transfered in the rain to a real bus
transported to Magic Kingdom
still raining
Go to costuming, get a breaker(costume i can wear anywhere in the park)
change, go to money office, note says to walk to the other side of the park and see managers(west side veranda)
managers didn't know I was coming. . .
clock in @ 1pm
clean off tables in tomorrowland noodle station
back to west side veranda
fed chips and bottled drinks
spilt into east side/west side groups
told we can work potts till 12:30am or clean. . .
cleaning doesn't sound fun, I con Sean and Julie to work with me
maybe not the best idea. . .but I did work 11.3 hours today. . .
that's good, right??
and it's cold here. . .I disagree with it. ..
who needs boys, we have ice cream
October 21 2005
I subconsciously try way to hard to impress, and therefore have managed to push away. I need to figure out how to stop that. . .
AMAZING!
October 20 2005
now, what this post is REALLY about. I (think I) am seeing this guy right now. . .what's going on b/t us is really still up in the air, but anyway
I went out with him tonight, all the ideas I could come up with were bad to him so he said he was just gonna surprise me. . .ahhhhh
He took me to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and then to see Relient K, MXPX, Rufio, and House of Heroes!
I was quite happy. especially when RK came on stage. So needless to say I had a FABULOUS night out.
end of my world. . .
October 18 2005
also. . .this is for my mom & sister mostly. . .oh and anna. . .
I recieved a little gift from Disney today...qute a plesent surprise. I was given a pass for the parks that is a one day hopper for myself and 3 guests(mom, megan anna)(??) and it also covers one trip to Disney quest, one trip to Pleasure Island, One trip to Typhoon Lagoon, one to Blizzard beach, and i think that's it...
but that's a lot of stuff for me and 3 guests. . .so if maybe some people could make it down before it gets too cold to go swimming we could use those Typhoon Lagoon/Blizzard beach days. ..and then when xmas rolls around. . .hmm. . .
I also still have 4 one day hopper passes
man, i need some visitors. if my family doesn't use them then whoever asks first can.
oh and I get like 60% off in a handful of resorts

Ketchup Spillage
October 15 2005
When changing the ketchup in the
condiment bar @ space dog. it is supposed to be in an upright position
when you pop the top off. failure to have it in that posistion will
cause spillage.
I failed.
and ended up with a handful of ketchup, in
the middle of the park(guests were around) 15 minutes before we were
supposed to be opening Space Dog.
My coordinator came by and says "there
is a nozzle that's supposed to go on the ketcup so that it'll pump"
problem: nozzle is on the other bag in the trashcan tied up behind the
stand we get our supplies from. . . yea. . .I had to get that out. .
.clean the ketchup off my body, and open the stand. . .
thank God for custodial who cleaned our ketchup spillage off the
ground. . . even though we had to clean it off the condiment bar. . .
life is beautiful
yes, but no. . .

Stupid people vacation at Disney World.
October 10 2005
As I spent precious time restocking the tub today, i would take the drinks from the bottom, put the warm ones on the bottom, and then put the cold ones on top. . .people watching me do this continuosly dug through my neat and pretty pile messed everything up, and only managed to end up with hot drinks.
there are some days I just hate my job.
then there are the days that it's not too terribly bad. . .those would be my days off. . .
well. i guess that's all. . .
update on my life. . .
October 07 2005
I hung out with this guy from work(but not my location, and not a CP) last night. he's nice. we're going to hang out after work tomorrow night as well. he's taking me out of my apartment bubble and introducing me to all the stuff every good cast member should see.
I made dinner tonight. It was exciting. Chicken and Rice. good home cooking!
I also cleaned a little.but not soo much.

Competition
October 03 2005
To bad phusebox is still better. I enjoy communication between creator and user.
I'm back in Orlando, I miss Murfreesboro terribly, and one of my roomies has acquired a boyfriend, while the other is moving. I'm indifferent to the boyfriend situation
I have decided on holding off on artificality in the "love department" until the next real boyfriend comes along. I want to be more spiritual, and therefore attract spiritual guys, rather than the other type. . .
well, back to work tomorrow. Have a magical day!
