Hey Everyone!!
So, as the title clearly explains.. i've been very busy! Thursay night i got a note at my door that my request to move apartments has been accepted, and i was to be out of my apartment by 3:00pm the next day. Kinda sucked because i got off work at 2:00am and spent most of the night packing. I woke up early the next morning and moved all my stuff to building 1, apartment 122. It was tough because it started to pour in the beginning and then it stopped and became soo humid, it was disgusting. Ohh and did i mention that i worked at 3 later that day. It sucked. It was a horribly busy shift too, but ohh well. And then i got home, barley had time to unpack and went to bed and had to be at work by 11:00am the next morning. Went and ended up working a 10 and a half hour shift being overbooked and such. It was annoying. Anyways.. needless to say i'm basically exhausted and all i wanna do it sleep. I have tomorrow off.. and then it's back to crazy, busy work for six bloody days.
I really do have more to say, but i really need sleep.. so goodnight!!

It's been a while and inspection time.
Hey Everyone!!
So, holy bloody moly. I hadn't realized it's been like 2 and a half weeks since i've posted. Sorry guys, i guess i've just been really busy. I've had a six day work week for the past month, so that might be why. This week i get two wonderful days off together, but next week is another six day week. We're really short staffed and people are finising their contracts/self terming/getting termed left right and centre, so we're losing a lot of people.
Things are going well here. It's soo hot. We're creeping into 44 C degree weather here, and the worst hasn't even come yet. I love working popcorn to death, but this heat isn't making it much fun. I've been spending a lot of time at the parks latley. Edd and I go to Magic Kingdom a couple evenings a week. We do our usual, Big Rocky Mountain (Thunder), Laugh Floor, Phillar Magic, Spectro Magic, Buzz Lightyear (we always compete and winner buys dinner), finally did Splash Mountain again. Actually i've done it a total of 3 times since i've been down here. I did it when we first got here, and then the toher night Edd and i did when Spectro Magic was on, so it was dead, and they asked us if we wanted to just stay on. it was fun, but it kept going 101 and then 102. (which means broken and then fixed).
Tonight i'm going to HollyWood Studios with Nykki and we're probably going to go on the fun rides there and maybe see Fantasmic. Going to bring my camera, for sure. It's nice becaus the parks are finally open late now. Instead of them closing at like 7pm or 9pm, they're staying open until 12am or 1am. Tomorrow Edd and i are having a Hidden Mickey Day. We bought the hidden Mickey book and there's a million all over Disneyworld. We're determined. lol
We're hoping to start in Magic Kingdom in the morning and be there for open of the park, which is always fun.. and then end the night in Epcot for Illuminations. Love it, love it, love it.
Last night it was Michelle's birthday, so we went to TGI Friday's for dinner. There was Edd, Michelle, Daz, Sean, Chelsea, Melanie, Deana, myself, Heather, and Daniel. We had a lot of fun, despite the service was shit and we were separated to two different tables. But i enjoyed it.
It's GAMES night tonight, so i might have to go and make an apperance. It starts at 11:30pm and i think it's at Craig's apartment again. So that will be fun.
Ohhh and omg omg.. CANADA's DAY is coming up! It's going to be a blast. We get SOOOO much free food from the restraunt, all the Canadian cast members get free mickey Canada flag pins. I'm soo excited for it, oh and the best part is, they let us take our cameras on stage that day. I'm on popcorn, so it's going to be a blast! I'll get to be in the action. Also, i'm on popcorn for July 4th. And all the parks hours are extended that day, and Illuminations is on at 10pm and then there's extra fireworks going on at the end. It's going to be a really fun week.
That's about it to report on.
I sent some letters/cards/postcards in the mail about a week ago, so i'm hoping they'll arrive soon to a destination near you. ahah
Take Caree,

Termination??
Hey Everyonee!!!
So yeah, i slid pass termination today. I looked at my record card when i was on my break, and noticed that i had 3.5 points. And if you get 3 or more points in your first 3 months, you're supposed to get terminated. I started freaking, but couldn 't really talk to any of the managers because we were overbooked by 250 guests for dinner tonight, so all the managers are at their ends. lol I had that extra point because on Culinary Day i was sent home for being sick.. but i hadn't clocked in, so they treated it as a Call in Sick which results in 1 point. I had a talk with Jeff after my shift ended, and he said i didn't have anything to worry about. If they were going to terminate me, they would have ages ago. So i guess that's good!!
So i'm not terminated, and i'm still here. I'm working popcorn tomorrow! It's my last shift on the old cart.. and then on Tuesday Cale and I are opening the new one together. It should be interesting! I'm excited for tomorrow because i get to see all six sets of OFF KILTER! Just if anyone is curious this is what i get to listen to all day at work, and totally makes it worth it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1cGtHIpTS4
They're called OFF KILTER. They're soo much fun to be around. I swear i'm going to have an Off Kilter day and just come into work and watch them all day!
Anyways, enough about them. I don't really have much else to report on. I have Saturday off, which i'm excited about and hoping to go to a park in the evening. I'm thinking Magic Kingdom or something but not sure. I've uploaded some videos from the Throw in on Facebook. Ohhh yeah.. that's what i was going to talk about.
So the throw in last night happened for the new arrivals. It was fun, but we got half way through and then security came and broke it up. Soo not fair. They said we were being to loud, and anyone underage can't be in the same room when people are drinking alcohol, which is total BS and they just made it up, so we spent like 15 minutes going back and forth to 611 and 514m eventualy ending in 611 where we finished it. I had a good time, and Julie's performance was well worth the wait. The video is on Facebook if anyone is interested. I'm going to post the link to the pictures next time i post. The newbies seem really cool, and it's soo surreal to finally meet these people that i've been talking to online for soo many months!
Anyways, it's nearly 3am and i need to get back to my apartment, have a shower and get to bed.
Gotta be at Sasha's for 10:30am

7 weeks tomorrow!
Hey Everyone!!
So guess what? Tomorrow will be my 7 week anniversery! I can't believe i've been here for almost 2 months! It's beyond crazy. I've been having some down days again.. just tired of working with certain people, being told how to do everything when i've already been trained and sick of getting told off by my managers who are stressed out the it's all my fault. I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. I'm pm floater on popcorn, which means we have EXTRA MAGICAL HOURS and i'm the pm cast member who just kinda does whatever. I've never been a floater, but i think i do cash to cover breaks or whatever.. so it should be interesting. I'm working 3:30-12:00am. It's GAMES night tonight and i'm not sure if i'm going to go, because i feel gross and really need a shower.. so i think i might skip it again. I just feel bad because i complain about how i'm never getting invited anywhere to do things with the canadians and i always don't do things. Girls, i don't go to because i'm underage.. it's not worth getting caught but games is fun.. especially because Ali's hosting it this week! I'm pretty excited about the throw in on Wednesday! I think it's going to be interesting to see what happens when so many arrivals come.
I'm listening to ILLUMINATIONS right now, and it's crazy, i get goosebumps whenever i watch it at work. That's one of the reasons why i loe popcorn! And tomorrow we're open late.. so i get to actually watch it instead of start cleaning as soon as it comes on. I actually heard the fireworks from the commons like 5 mins ago.. heard the ending. It's SOOO loud. For those of you who are curious what i get to watch every night, here's a clip of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAWRcCXFGI8&feature=related
Also, i found this video like a month ago.. it's called Canadians Dancing.. i thought it was hilarious, and apparently we're re-making it this year. I work with a couple people in the video.. and there's a manager a the end i work with. =)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjSFx37-EF4
Enjoy!
I don't really have much else to update on.. but i have a couple albums to post on here:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=262896&id=647590552&l=2c7048b946

And guess what.. i'm sick again!
Hey Everyone!!
So, yep.. i am sick again. Well, i was. It's nearly gone now.. but have a little bit left. I had tonsilites mixed with allergies mixed with a bad chest cold! It was a pretty misserible week! But it's good now, although i had a really bad coughing attack today at work while i was seating a table. I knew i shouldn't had speiled to the table, but i did anyways.. and i started coughing halfway through it.. and i tried to hold it in and my eyes started to water and my face was going bright red as my voice was disentigrating. Wasn't fun. I ran out of the restruant and told them(David & Lyndsay that i was going out back to die!). Took me a good 15 minutes for it to pass, which rreally sucked because we were super over booked again! Had to do about 605 guests for are dinner rush! Sucked!!! Ohh well! I'm on popcorn tomorrow! Yay! I love it because i'm outside all day with all the guests and i know what's going on, no managers, OFF KILTER all day long! and i get a nice tan when i'm out there!
There's not really much to report on. The new arrivals come on Tuesday, so that means a throw in on Wednesday! Pretty excited about that. Ohh and i'm getting my new cell phone on Thursday, i think. lol Sasha is self terming.. so she's giving me her awesome phone, and we're setting it all up after work on Monday. =)
Other then that.. nothing really new to report. haha.. i'm working the next 7 days.. so 10 days total. Not looking forward to that, but ohh well.
Talk to you soon
