Funny stories that are 2 seconds long..

Or at least that is what my night seems to be. Just think, 2 seconds ago photobucket told me I was forbidden to see my own account page (I love maintenance work, don't you?) And here I thought I'd be nice and get some new photos out for everyone to see. No dice! Also, while I was waiting for the bus this evening (in the cold might I add- yes we are having a bit of a cold front, and I of course gave a sarcastic comment when someone decided to point out the obvious...) a couple of the custodial cas members were sitting around and started trying to quote the "Who's on first" sketch, and all I could do was picture Kristy and Mike doing it in pirate form. I had to content myself with a smile so as to not scare anyone.

Thanks to work yesterday, I got to see the sun rise. and no I wasn't because I worked early. Try this - I got out at 4am, went with Dani to Steak 'n' Shake to quell our midnight munchies, didn't get home till a quarter to 6, and of course couldn't get to sleep till 7am. I love my job, really I do.

so last week went by pretty fast. Monday I had off, Tuesday was a wonderful 12 hour shift. My feet stung whenever I walked. Wednesday I had off and was supposed to go with Amy to Downtown Disney (cause I've never gone and she wants to take me) and then I was going to take her to Fantasmic for her birthday since had never gone. However, as you all noticed, i used the word "supposed". As you may have guessed, that didn't happen. Amy had to go to the doctor's that afternoon and found out that she had pink eye...in both of her eyes. So she was quarantined for the next two days and we have since rescheduled for this Wednesday.
Thursday was interesting to say the least. First off, I had my research paper due that morning at 8am for organizational leadership, and had to a bit of work on it the night before. Oh, and my alarm didn't go off!! That's always a treat. Of course I also had to be at a housing meeting at 8am as well (got out of the first hour of class cause this was a little more important). In regards to that...remember those room mates that moved out. Yah, they decided to pull to "race card" on me and two of my other room mates, and said we blamed them for everything that we did because they were black. They wish!! To say the least the case is closed due to there not being any efficient evidence to support their case. I just feel bad for the HR people who had to deal with it, it was a serious waste of their time.
Friday was a P&P party, and for once it wasn't raining. I was spectacular! NO WET SOCKS!! HRRAY!!! Saturday was, well work, and Then as I said Sunday I worked till 4am.
However it was a lot of fun because us girls in the back room decided to start belting show tunes out of boredom. Yes we did sound like dog whistles once in a while, but we didn't care. Plus our manager Brian came back and told us to sing Popular. We all just gave him he look of "are you serious?" which he interpreted as "what?" and therefore sang the first few lines of the song for us. It was amazing to say the least.

And now I must bid you all a magical night, cause it is way past Cinderella's bed time.
Hopefully I can get into my own photobucket account soon, so you can all see some new/old pictures!

Update!!!

So I have been seriously neglecting my blog, and for that I am truly sorry. You see I haven't had the patience to sit down and write, but since I have the time before work I think I shall.
Patience has been a virtue as of late however it finally ran out (hence the reason I haven't written). The reason for this is that Spring break ended on Sunday and after working late hours and dealing with some rather cranky guests it's obvious that you could stick a fork in me, cause I'm DONE!!! Due to this I was rather glad to have gone back to the weekly Pirate and Princess Parties (we had two this week). Also something else major happened. My two room mates moved out. Yes, you read that right - MOVED OUT! And the four of us that were left threw a little party for ourselves. Granted we were slightly sad to see the one go, but the other we were about ready to offer our help with the packing just to get her out faster.
Now, I can't remember if I said anything about the one room mate, but suffice to say she had a real problem with following the apartment rules, aka the rules she not only agreed on, but helped create...aka no boys in the apartment after 1 AM. Yah...guess who liked to have sllepovers with her new boyfriend. Anyways, it finally came to a head and my one room mate and I went and talked to security. P.S. she lied to us about somethings. Take a guess who almost flew off the handle when she found this out... guess I'm way to predictable aren't I. Anyways, tto make a long story short, we talked with security and housing and she ended up deciding to move out, and as for the other one, we aren't sure why she moved out but really we could care less. Does this make me a bad person? I'm not sure, but I do know that I'm definitely the lesser of two evils. Besides, I expect respect, and woe to she who feels otherwise inclined.

On a happier note We have had to P&P parties this week and so I was thrilled to stand at tunnel and dance along like the dork that I am! The only problem is that all the spring showers are moving in, so while it's tradition for it to rain on P&P nights, it's actually been more along the lines of thunder storms (oh, look it's raining again). But that's alright, well it was until the humidity moved in. But what was worse was last night I not only had the pleasure of killing a cockroach on stage due to a custodial girl not wanting to mess up her shoes (yah, I don't get it either) but I also had to play mother to my cast mate Amy. Did my usual 'hi, how are you' when I saw here last night and was greeted with a not so good as she slumped against the wall. Mother mode time. She had a fever, the chills and her eyes were slightly glazed. First words out of my mouth "Get an ER and go home." She didn't agree with me, so me being the worrier that I am gave the one manager a heads up. The only problem is that our closing manager wouldn't let her leave last night after she asked for an ER (and this was by the girl who only ever asks to extend). He then told her he was sick as well, however he only had a cough where as she was about to collapse. Guess how many of us were happy with him come close. Whatever. I made sure she did the least strenuous work and gave her Motrin until she left, cause sadly that was all I could do. But she got to go home a little early, and hopefully she got right into bed.

The rest of the week has been spent doing normal work and attempting to get back into a regular sleep pattern. Not succeeding quite yet, but I'll get there. On the other hand, starting tomorrow, I refuse (let me repeat that REFUSE) to work stroller register. They "re-evaluated" the stroller prices and singles went from $10 to $15 and doubles went from $18 to...$31. I think I'm gunna lose my head, or maybe just the money that people wont spend on strollers. Hmm....I foresee this becoming very UGLY. Thank God I'm leaving in six weeks. No, wait less than that. HOLY COW!! I leave in less than six weeks!!! Time sure flies when you're having fun.

But I fear I now must fly due to having to leave in bout 40 0 minutes for work, as well as stop by the front desk in order to pick up a new key (yah, they change your locks after your room mates move out). So hopefully this has quenched everyone's thirst for Floridian knowledge for now.
Ciao!!!


P.S. I finally got my pictures downloaded to my computer and am in the process of uploading them to Photobucket. WEEEEE!!!!
