Lent xx - 5:30am Days - Week 2, Day 1 - Anthony Bourdain helps me find a Reuben

After sleeping in late for two days, today first day of full week of 5:30am days. Got less sleep last night (distracted by Horizons), so tired today. Saw plans for Mouse Gear store redo. Assigned to Bubble. Kids being redone, things being moved around store. Disrupted some of my list. Had to ask Manager Ginny about open space where hoodies were. Pulled down into tunnel to talk to stockers about what was in stock to put up. Kept trying to keep up. Got pulled away from Bubble (again) to help put out fancy (expensive) purses. Had to hunt down Manager Ginny, find key, see how to organize, then unwrap and tag purses. Took up lots of time. Could only get the essentials for Bubble. Met couple looking for sweat pants for one of their grandkids. Offered to look around store for them when we didn't have the correct size. Said they'd be back after lunch and took note of my name. Didn't take break until 10:38am. Didn't feel well after food. Busy day. Food and Beverage 20% coupon is in effect. Morning was messy/nuts. Asked permission (sigh) to work on shoes. Got half done before offering to help Manager Sandra with a project. Wanted Jack Skellington hats hung up. Had to hunt around for tag gun (wha?). Found wrong one, as it didn't have a needle. Found the right one and proper hooks. Watched her do it. Tried myself. Hope I did it right. Woman Cast Member remarked that she was watching one of the dressing rooms. Been occupied for an hour. Thought it might be a guy and a girl. Finished hats. Decided to fill up a hole or two, put shoes back in proper stock room place, and be done with it. Encountered Guests all the while. Got a really cool id badge pin. Said it was for Imagineering and featured Figment. Got traded away about 45 minutes before my shift ended. Finally finished and got out of there. Hadn't taken my second break. Decided to go to Beaches and Cream for mint chocolate chip shake, since McDonalds around here don't seem to have them. Tried to park at Boardwalk. Missed parking lot and had to go around again. Explored Boardwalk tiny bit before heading onward. Knees and calves hurting. Shake was good, little foamy, but I got the whipped cream and sprinkles that I wanted, not to mention a cherry and delicious mint and chocolate.

Computer just turned off (needed to plug it in). Blogspot saved draft. Woo hoo!!

Wanted reubin because of St. Patrick's Day. Thought Earl of Sandwich might have it. Debated taking Disney bus. Decided to drive. Parked by Cirque. Thought I could catch a boat. Missed. Walked. Pain. Got to Earl. NO REUBIN!! WTF? Couldn't find boat dock by Rainforest Cafe. Took the boat by Paradiso 37. Back to Marketplace, then to West Side. Boat Captain named Tom. Looked very much like an older Anthony Bourdain. Similar build, hair color, facial shape. Boat ride peaceful. Good suggestion on behalf of family. Thought maybe Panera had sandwich, but Mom said no. Got back to apartment (stairs x.x) and had Lean Cuisine. Managed to edit which professional internships I wanted to apply for, but missed the job in Batavia that my Mom had sent me. Drats. Soyoung listening to music, some of which was covers of songs I'd heard, or was nice music in general. Did have a Stevie Wonder song though. Good choice. Shalom came home and made pizza. Smells good. Said that one of the "single ladies" in the Beyonce video is a guy - and dances the best of the three. Soyoung showed video of two guys at Chatham dancing to song. Off to sleep and a lovely long day of work tomorrow. Gotta figure out what to do next. Need to rest though. Definitely a good idea.

Lent ::coughmuttermuffle::

Got up late. Went to Church. Felt more familiar and like a place I'd want to be. Wendy's. Got called "Miss" by guy at drive-through window. Ate Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. Caribbean Beach. Tried to eat Ceaser Side Salad. Top popped off. Then lost hold. Managed to pin top against door. Lost about 3/4 of salad in door, on floor. Spent next 10-15 min cleaning. Ate rest. Visited Customs House. Took internal resort bus. Port Royal/Royale. Driver told me people turning to food for comfort. Also 400+ calories in Double Cheeseburger. Mentioned Guests say Beaches and Cream has the best milk shakes. Decided to go there. Explored Port Royale. Wandered around outside. Caribbean Cay has need hidden alcoves, hammocks, places to sit. Wandered around rest of resort. Explored Aruba. Nice that parts are pavement, parts are boardwalks. Went to southern end. Saw bowling pins from Pop. Neat. Decided to go for milkshake. Next park bus that comes, I'll take it. Epcot. Had to transfer to Hollywood Studios bus once arrived. At Hollywood, decided to walk on pathway instead of taking Friendship. Visited pool area of Boardwalk. Saw Keister Coaster. Cute ^-^ Yacht Club looks sterile from outisde. Pool for Yacht and Beach Clubs in full swing. Bunch of life guards doing Cupid Shuffle. Thought B&C (like BC = Beach Club?) had a wait to sit down. Had To-Go area. Asked what flavors there were. Didn't notice they were posted on sign x.x Apologized to CM. Heard my name called. Misako sitting with some women from work. Small world after all o.o. Got Chocolate Mint Shake, complete with whipped cream, cherry, sprinkles. Woo!! Sat outside and drank. People-watched. Watched guy at seating table. Drank ice cream and ate chocolate. Heard Spice Girls song and thought of Rebecca. Chatted via text. Headed inside to explore. Cold ice cream + lack of sun = not the smartest. A little chilly. Determined I like lobbies and outdoor theming more than hallway theming. Beach Club, Yacht Club. Walked to Dolphin. Higher-class hotel. Fancier. Running water in many places. Went up central elevators. Crazy fast. Guy off before me. Thought I saw light from window. Got off floor 17. No window. Went to another level. Window! BEAUTIFUL view of North/West Walt Disney World. Spotted Contemporary, Castle, Space Mountain, peaks of Grand Floridian, World Center Drive, and, really cool too, Expedition Everest, Cell Tree, and Tree of Life. Could see far and wide. Absolutely need pictures. Went all the way up, came all way down. Explored east elevators. Discovered they were connected to west elevators. No views, sadly. Decided to visit Downtown Disney. Missed bus. Wandered by basketball court and pools while waiting. Pool is beautiful o.o Headed back to bus stop. WDW Promo video playing. Focus on Swan and Dolphin, but mixed in with much WDW. Kept saying "You will remember". Made me think about what it'll be like when I leave. Another Downtown Disney bus. Bit of alternative route. By Boardwalk. Eventually arrived. Checked depature bus. Visited Shalom and made plans to buy some Christmas ornaments. Stopped in a couple of stores. Seeing if what I told Guests at Mouse Gear was accurate. Chocolate at Ghiradelli. Back to bus. Bit of wait. Arrived pretty soon and headed back to resort, with brief stop at West Side. Jeez = Jews for Rebecca's phone? Bus passed by Custom House. Got off and waited for internal resort bus. Driver having to announce stops. Reached Custom House and car. Headed to Vista to rent movies. Much debating. Decided on The Three Caballeros and The Rescuers Down Under. Walmart visit. Back at apartment, found leftover chicken and onions in skillet. There go my original plans for dinner. Finished chicken nugget anytizers instead. Watched tv. Roseanne episodes powerful ones - Darlene married and Dan not feeling well followed by Darlene having baby. TV's going in and out from static now. Maybe better. Aiming to catch end of ST:TNG.
