Alexandria Elyse

Welcome to the world, Alexandria Elyse!!

Congratulations Ana and Mike!!

Lent xx - 5:30am days - 56 feet?!?!

Was in Breezeway today. Good change of pace (I hoped) compared to yesterday's near-disaterous time in Bubble. Found out Kim got awarded a GSF card. Good for her. I'd still like one. Turns out, while Breezeway was still organized, not enough time for my meticulous approach. Tried to prepare a last minute stock of all that I could. Got to go and do the wave this time. Yesterday, had been stuck hanging f*cking Dooney and Burke (:P) purses and missed it. Kid told me I was missing a finger. I was amused. Back in to attempt to stock what I could. Definitely not enough. Open pegs and lack of sizes. Went on break to call about setting up professional internship interview. Apparently they didn't have my application? Need to fix that. Did set up haircut appointment at Kingdom Kutters. Family Feud's interesting to watch. Got off break a little before 11:00am and heard call for stockers to come help out on register. Sure enough, got pulled to help out with someone's break. Was told it was going to only be for 20 minutes or so. Met a Polish woman (finally! Polish person!) and a British man who mentioned how many Americans they'd encountered because of spring break. Finally, at 2:00pm, I finally got to go on my second break. Met Karen, who said she didn't think I'd get to take her Monday 6pm - 12am shift, since it would put me into overtime. Said she talked to Sandra, and that we'd all see. Came back and attempted to start organizing to stock. Not easy with people moving merchandise around and trying it on, but I tried. Felt bad about the appearance of Breezeway, even though I couldn't help being on register for so long. Went to get stock and came back to work on it. Jan appeared (thankfully). Gave me a mini hug. Said she thought I was hiding because I was scared what she'd think of the area. Honestly, didn't want to give her more work to do, and didn't want her to have to come into work like that. Just so I can briefly demonstrate the importance of words - encountered woman who said she'd seen a woman with a white sweatshirt. Said I thought we didn't carry any, but woman insisted, saying she saw it in the woman's hands. Just then, woman appeared. Woman pointed clothing out to me. It was a jacket. But I knew where it was and took her to it. Apologized, saying I thought she'd said sweatshirt, and she said the clothing IS a sweatshirt. Thicker, yes, but it zips, isn't that a jacket? Mom told me later it really could go either way - could constitute as a sweatshirt. Oye e.e Ended up running around to hang clothing, ink tagging pants (incorrectly - supposed to be on a seam, and because they're reversable, have some pants in order one way, and then flipped outwards and in order the other way), and helping her dig out jacket sizes from a huge pile she'd brought up. Ended up getting out late again. Not as late as yesterday (4:45pm) but around 4:20pm today. Ended up not having to drive Brian, as he got to extend how long he kept his loaner car. Took a mini drive around property. Back at apartment, changed into shorts and went for a walk to the Shrine and back. Leftover pasta for dinner and spent my evening watching a tribute to Horizons. No idea the ride vehicle hung 56 ft in the air at some points!! Really tired now. Need sleep.

Just wanted to mention, saw The Princess and The Frog yesterday. Pretty good movie. Liked the music. Happy to see animation again. Felt a connection concerning the characters having to "dig a little deeper" to find out what they want. Loved Naveen telling Evangeline he loved Tiana. And may I just say - Yay Jim Cummings!! Got to take home a Coke and some popcorn.

Also just wanted to mention, one of the ink tags must've leaked. I now have blue splotches of ink on my hand. I'm marked as a Disney merchantainer.
