Lent 08 - Do you work here?

This'll be quick. Not feeling well. Test Track broke down as I was walking to work. Saw people in curve right before they go back into building, yelling "Help!" Waved to them. Heard spiel that Track Technician would be by to assist, or something like that. That was new. Heard it officially when going by line at front. Cast Member making announcement; said all Fast Passes would be honored for the rest of the day. Spotted star in Spaceship Earth. Heard my name called. Misako hanging out in park. Was headed to Test Track with friends. Warned her it had broken down. Got to work Runner for second time tonight. Learned a little more about paperwork. Did "Last Call" all on my own. Maybe started to get the hang of it. Slow pace helped. Saw Misako again briefly while on a hanger run. Rainy weather during the early afternoon. Rainly again, apparently, later at night. Tried to stock adult ponchos and wound up behind on hangers. Was supposed to take break at 8:00pm. Finally got around to it at 9:21pm. Didn't take full break. Wrote note to post to 2nd floor board asking someone to take my Easter shift. Only six-and-a-half hour shift. Not bad. Kim told me I should give her my schedule so we could work out my talking with her brother. Ironically, remembered about that while sitting in car before work today. Crazy. At end of night, Sandra told me I did a good job. I told her wait and see until I was done, but thank you. With a little under 30 minutes to go, ran into guy named Brian. Asked if I needed any help. Had seen some backpacks on floor that needed restocking. Explained where backpacks were located. Explained they needed to be tagged (should've said ink tag; he thought I meant price tag at first). Said it was easy. He said no. Sounded complicated and he might poke himself.

...

Managed to get some backpacks out there AND put home delivery forms at register one AND pop a roll of giami (spelling? that stuff we use to wrap things to make them look sort of like recycled paper pineapples) into one of the kids areas. First time too! Started not feeling well at end of the night. Had planned to drop costumes off at Animal Kingdom. Decided to go to McDonalds instead. Less rain, more wind. Buffalo Wild Wings sounded busy as I drove by. Got a medium Coke and a cheeseburger. Had said double cheeseburger. Guy didn't hear me. Ah well. Drove up International Drive, over by Barnes and Noble, and back. Coke helped a little. Cheeseburger was good. Missed a text from my Dad around 1:30am. Apparently there's powder snow back home? Want to talk tomorrow. Still not feeling all that great. Going to read for a little while.

In book, Guest asked fully-costumed + name tag Cast Member if they worked there. I've had people ask me that too O.O

Also, thought up an equation:

Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln + it's a small world = Pirates of the Caribbean
