Week Nine: Weather 101 and Force Extensions

March 20th (Monday): I woke up like 45 minutes late and the whole day went similarly. I worked from 10:30am - 8:45pm and everything just moved super slow and it was frustrating. I was mostly indoor at Dumbo and a little bit at Barn. On Barn we had a little old couple each cross themselves before riding and that was super funny/cute. I also had a super cute little kid with a birthday pin so I told him "happy birthday!" to which he replied "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!" and it was adorable.

March 21st (Tuesday): Day off! Woo! I spent the whole day at Magic Kingdom, the first half with Melissa before she went off to work at 4pm, and the second half with Alyssa after she got off work at 3:45pm. We used FastPasses on everything (except the People Mover and the train, duh) and got to ride Big Thunder twice, Space Mountain twice, Peter Pan's Flight, Mine Train twice, Dumbo three times, Barnstormer, Haunted Mansion, and Little Mermaid. We also watched Wishes from Dumbo with my coworker Jenna which was neat :) And when we were at Dumbo my coordinator gave us two FP's for Mine Train so that was super cool of her!! AND it took us like a good hour to get from MK to the TTC, so MK is the one spot where it's less convenient to drive to...

March 22nd (Wednesday): Also off! Yay! I went to Typhoon Lagoon with Alyssa and Alexa in the morning and we got to do pretty much everything but the body slides. I definitely prefer Typhoon to Blizzard but both are a blast. Wednesday night Alexa and I went and saw Beauty and the Beast at the Fork & Dine theater, so that was a ton of fun too. We both really enjoyed it.

March 23rd (Thursday): We had lightening in the area so we went "Weather 101" meaning that our attraction was down due to weather. So we had to unload the ride, have the guests exit or wait in line, and basically stand there until we got the okay to continue loading. Also I just had a bunch of little things go wrong and I got a cold so that wasn't so fun. I worked a lovely 8:30am - 8:15pm. Thursday night Alexa and Alyssa and I went to Target and I spend almost $100 #targetprobs

March 24th (Friday): I called in sick because I couldn't breathe and was on so many different medicines I thought it best I not operate machinery or talk to guests. So basically I did laundry and drank tea and water and watched movies in bed all day. I was supposed to work 3:15pm - 11:45pm.

March 25th (Saturday): We were SUPER short handed and had like four people call in sick so we dropped all unnecessary positions and even had leaders and coordinators step in to give people their breaks. At one point on Barn I was both standby and FastPass greeter (so I had to check both sides for kid heights and kids/parents ratios AND there was no merge combining FP and standby. On top of it all we were all force extended an hour because MK extended their hours. So my shift ended up being 2:45pm - 11:15pm.

March 26th (Sunday): I FINALLY got an email saying we're getting a new roommate. She moves in either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, so we didn't even get 24 hours notice but it's fine. I just hope she's normal, but I had to clean up my room and move everything off her bed. At work our coordinator Beth was HYSTERICAL. She's one of those dry humor/no nonsense kind of people and she was in her prime tonight. We work with this one really annoying kid and he goes "hey you stole my thunder!" and she just goes "there was no lightening" hahaha YES BETH. I also saw a little girl with those shirts with their names on them and hers said "Marin" so obviously I went up and talked to her. Also I had a small child at Barn who was scared to ride but was definitely tall enough so I bribed her with paper FP's and that was super cute. I worked a weirdly short shift at 4pm - 10:45pm.

That's it for the week!! Just working on getting over this weird cold going around. PRAY MY ROOMMATE IS NORMAL.
