Ok so last night was a surprise. You may be wondering why this post has the Mission: SPACE logo in it. Well, I was originally off yesterday. I ran some earns around Orlando and ended my afternoon at Epcot looking from Kimmie Sue to set up a meeting with her and to visit my friend Joe a work. Joe works as a Coordinator in Futureworld East (Spaceship Earth, Universe of Energy, Wonders of Life, Mission: SPACE and Test Track). Well, yesterday was the Extra Magic Hour Evening for Epcot and Mission: SPACE was short staffed I guess and I got talked in to working a seven hour shift at the attraction.

I wanted to do attractions when I applied to start on the college program so it was a blast. Since I am not fully trained on the attraction, I was limited to greeter and grouping positions. I still had a blast and it made me think about what my future at WDW might include if a role in Guest Relations was not to work out. I might consider a transfer to an attraction like Mission: SPACE or Soarin’ or even apply for opening crew for Expedition everest which is coming to Animal Kingdom in January. But, as much as it would be fun, Guest Relations would be my top choice and the direction I want to move.

So today I work late and decided to take my morning and get a few things done. Mainly, I needed to go to the Apple Store at Millenia and have them look at my PowerBook keyboard. I came home from work the other night and my eject key was sticking up. Not a problem, take it in the the Genius Bar and it is fixed in no time, just a few hour wait. Oh well. So while I am waiting, I am looking at headphones for my iPod. I still have my original ear-buds that came with the iPod and am looking at replacing them. Well, I found the perfect ones. I had not seen them before but, Apple now has the Plantronics MX100s headphones. What is so nice about these? Simple, it has TWO jacks on the end. One to plug in to your iPod and another to plug in to your mobile phone. Why is this good? I always have both my iPod and my mobile on me at all times (or most of the time) and the ability to share a single set of headphones for both just rocks. When a call comes in, you hit a button and the headset switches from music to mobile. I think these are going to be just what I need. Well, off to work.
