Well folks. Only a couple of days to go till my birthday. Last night I met up with Patrick after he got out of work and we did the Virtual Magick Kingdom Quests in the Magic Kingdom. VMK is a new online experience that is similar to the Sims. Players create a virtual person and can walk around a virtual Disney Theme Park and interact with other guests. Completing the quests earn you items you can use in the game such as trading pins, shirts, hats, and more. Also, when you purchase items in the park, you can get a card to get the same item as a virtual souvenir in the game. Soon, it will tie in to the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters at Disneyland Resort I am told and guests in VMK can play with guests at Disneyland.
After we did our quests and got our prizes, we went off to Downtown Disney and walked around a bit before getting dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s and then deciding to go see a movie at AMC. We decided see Herbie Fully Loaded due to lack of others that looked interesting. It wasa decent movie and was cute. My only complaint is that they really don’t mention Herbie’s past. They show clips of the older movies and make Herbie look like a race hero but they don’t ever go back to it. Personally, if you find an old car that was a huge race hero wouldn’t you notice? Oh well, it was a fun movie. That’s all for now folks.
I have just gotten home from one of the worst days of the month. My shift started off just fine but, I had several really heavy runs. Like, I’m not talking about weight. I am talking about two or three huge bins worth of packages (READ: 80-100+ items). I can handle that though and even got us caught up on logging while I was at it. The trouble started with some massive rain storms that delayed the runs and then towards the end of the night and my turn at Package Pickup, it was nothing but problems. Package after package was either missing, not picked up, or was missing items. I have never offered so much free popcorn, soda or Comp Shipping. Then, to top it off, when my line gets out the door, my fellow cast members decide it is funny not to come and help me. It wasn’t until they were done joking around that they realized I was serious about needing a hand when they could hear the people yelling at me over package issues. I tell you, it amazes me over some of the people that I work with. GUESTS come first people, NOT your afterwork plans. Oh well, it is over and I am now off for a day.
I am off to bed but I do have a nice day planned of getting things done around home like cleaning and laundry and then meeting up with some friends when they get out of work later in the day. I can’t wait. It will be a blast tomorrow. Sorry for the negative post. I hate doing it but I needed to vent. Sorry to all those that keep wondering where I am. I am working or in meetings. That’s the best I can say really. I use my days off to get stuff done for my career or around the house. Catch you all in the next update.
Happy Father’s Day Dad! Hope you are enjoying your weekend at the cabin. Wish I could be there.
Well, I had a nice day off today considering all the crazy stuff this week among my group of close friends. I am not going to go in to details but for those that don’t know, a large number of my friends work a certain Epcot Attraction that was in the news earlier this week and were directly involved. I have been playing counselor and moral support for them the last couple of days. I even gave up plans to catch up with my friend Brian from the College Program last night and tonight to support them. Although I am not directly involved, I seem to have become involved based on who my friends are and I still hate hearing the decisions and the work my friends did questioned.
Today was nice because it was finally a day where we could hang out and let the events just sink in and not be dealing with the pressure on my friends. My friend Patrick joined us for the day and we really did have fun once a few of them got their mind off things. I am in the morning though so I am going to head off to bed for now. Hopefully I can finally catch up with Brian after work tomorrow. Bri, I haven’t forgotten about you!
Happy 21st Birthday Brian! Welcome back to the magic.
