Lent 05 - Prepped for running

First day back at Mouse Gear today. Got to sleep in. Then shower. Then decided to go for a walk. Weather was beautiful. 70s I think. Wandered around apartment complex, talking to Mom about yesterday and enjoying the outdoors. Mom had said she'd thought Epcot would've been my park. Now thinks maybe it's Animal Kingdom. I want Epcot to be my park. And Animal Kingdom. Also talked about Church yesterday. I was insulted. Priest was talking about confession and said "Please, get to the point". Said priests aren't counselors and don't have degrees. Confession supposed to be about absolving of sins. Terrible. People go to priests for advice and counseling too. Makes me miss St. Lukes. All too soon, had to go to work. Saw big bee drift across my windshield. Had had window open. Decided time for ac. Accidentally took road that would've lead me to Animal Kingdom. Adjusted course and took Overpass Road to Epcot. Visited Costuming. Met Kim coming off a shift that started at 5:30am. Kept wondering if I was in the right costume. No skirt draft. Weird. Decided, after Kim's comment in Costuming, to finally take "Earning My Ears" off my nametag. Kept meeting people celebrating return to Mouse Gear from Animal Kingdom. Thought I was going to be on register. CDS told me to pick up Floorstock 8. Turns out, I was assigned to be a runner. First time. Manager Brad asked me how deployment was. Actually remembered I've only got Magic Kingdom to go before I've worked all parks. I'm impressed. Or at least a little touched a manager remembered something. Suggested I pick up a shift there at some point. I may have to. Had to hunt for a woman named Lorna, who I would be helping. Eventually found her getting hangers behind main bank. Begin lots of learning about running: package pick up, filling out forms, package placement, ink tags, hanger pick up, hanger organization part 1 (the sorting!), hanger organization part two (the placing!), register supplies, store supplies, lots of learning. Hangers absolutely crazy. Morning woman has specific organization for different sizes (S/M/L, 2T/3T, 2/4/6/8) and styles (extra wide, thick, combo shirt and pants). Hangers overflowing holder because of slowness. Definitely lots to learn for hangers. Stock meeting + slow day = bunch of ERs. Not me. Lorna went on break. I got a call I didn't notice asking runner to stock PWPs in kids. Had to figure out where things were. Also overheard conversation containing "have the runner do it". Then got contacted to take over for someone's break. Didn't catch name. Said I would after kids PWP. Checked other PWP too. Needed more throws and more backpacks. Found out break was for one of the "prep" people - people who stay in stockroom, opening boxes and organizing, and answering stock question calls. Never done prep before. Prep girl said she could wait. Got a break. Had little more time, then Lorna left. On my own, tried my best. Busy, even though we were slow. Because of ERs, we were shorthanded. First prep girl left. Second, girl who I've worked with in spider and was deployed to Animal Kingdom too (Stephanie?), wanted me to take over her break. Got a crash course in prep. Thank goodness no one called while it was my turn. My work was delayed by a half hour though. Had to get ponchos and umbrellas out. 40 - 60% chance of rain tomorrow. She came back, went on cardboard run. Still no one called (thank goodness). Spent rest of night rushing around, trying to finish. Everyone else bored, nothing to do. Guy named Allen got roped into helping me by Meag. He did ink tags, I did practically everything else. Found there were some packages still needing to be recorded and placed. Hangers were tangled, numerous, and a falling, clattering, time-consuming pain in the butt. Out of child ponchos, pile I thought were all children's was mostly adult. Somehow, with Stephanie wrapping home delivery packages and Allen taking care of the basketful of ink tags, I finished. Found one more hanger right before I left e.e Came home to Johnny Depp. As Captain Jack. Soyoung had turned on Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Been watching on and off while writing this. Listening for music they play outside of Pirates ride. Pen burst too. Have black splotches on my hands. USA just totally turned to static. So much for watching movie e.e Tomorrow first day off. So very, very happy. Still trying to get rid of "cold". Now have dryness in back of nose/throat that causes me to cough. Have to tilt my head back far and swallow just to reach it. Definitely time for sleep. Not sure what I'm doing tomorrow, but had a taste for a salad, and now have taste for baked beans, so should probably go shopping soon. Managed to come away from work today with lots more knowledge, relief over not having to be on register (especially with cough), and purple post-its which were going to be used to write down stock requests. Purple post-it notes. Sweet.

Why is TBS still out?

Cool to think that the movie I was watching is made by the Company I'm a part of.
