Lent xx - 5:30am Days - Dadgum!

Thought someone was up this morning. Heard someone in the bathroom, and thought I heard Misako/Shalom's door open, but was interested in cereal and reading a mail ad booklet for Sony products. Got Bubble again today. Was also the only person (in the group of Kim, Robyn, and Alice) to work. Where is everyone? Ginny gave me a mini "moving stuff around" project. Nothing bad at all, just switching some tops and shorts. She did say the people down in the tunnels were cranky today. I think it's just the coupon. The doors leading to Bubble were unlocked. A moth managed to get into the store. No idea where it went. Also got to see the moon hanging over what I believe is the side of "Honey, I Shrunk The Audience". Kind of cool. Had seen the moon on Monday as I was heading home. Big and pale and beautiful, it was rising up over the horizon. Got to get a nice look at it while stopped at the light by the Hess at the intersection of International Drive and World Center. And there it was this morning, hanging in the sky, going to bed while I was going to work. Hat wall was redone today too. Looks a little overwhelming, but also kind of nice. Didn't get my break until late again, meaning I got to eat at least seven hours after "breakfast" this morning (is there a meal before breakfast? Cause that's what it is really). Kept busy trying to stock. Wasn't doing the greatest of jobs, but things looked...ok. Neat...ish anyway. Left the doors to Bubble open today. So nice to see the people and feel the breeze. Plus, heard fountain today. It makes funny little popping noises. Neat ^-^ Had a woman describe a hat to me ("Walt Disney World written on the side of the bill, and a metal medalion in the center. Brown and khaki") and I managed to find just the right one. Woo! Helped a ten year old out, writing his name (Brian Allen, first and last!) on his birthday button. I told him it was cool that he had hit the double digits, and that now he was "seasoned". Took my second break around 1:15pm. Headed up to the managers' office area. Heard news of popcorn. There was! Probably stuff left over from Christmas tins. Three kinds, but I stuck with a handful or two of carmel. Also (finally) had a hot chocolate. Headed to breakroom to sit. Decided, at the last minute, that Bubble needed some more work, and extended an extra hour. Managed to straighten more, made a list, nearly ran out of time. At the last minute, a woman asked me to take her to the hats, since we didn't have a shirt/hat combo in the size she was looking for, and wanted a medium size in the doggie shirt. First time finding those things. Now I know where they are! Thought I had lost my cart after that. Searched everywhere for it. Found it in jewlery, not too far from where it should've been, I think, but now it had a couple extra t-shirts and items people didn't want. Well...nice of them to put the items in there. Met Coordinator Miguel in Costuming. He was going in while I was leaving. Said he was going to have to work seven days in a row. That sucks. Called (and got another number to call) to find out info about Professional Internships. No longer staying 45 minutes away, but if I can't work at Mouse Gear between the end of my college program and the beginning of the professional internship, I gotta take my stuff home. No early moving in. Ah, more fun. Seriously debated a Chick-Fil-A shake. Also found out there's a Chick-Fil-A coming to Chicago, woo!! Had a little munch-fest when I got back to the apartment. Tried new Banana Nut Granola. Tasted good. Still waiting on the "final results". "It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" was on tonight too. Happy to see it ^-^ Believe it or not, tried calling a couple of people to see if they could work Easter for me. Usha works until 11:00pm tonight. Barbara Diaz is not a girl, but a guy, and he's working at Blizzard Beach all week since he's seasonal. I had such wonderful hopes for being able to find someone, to get it approved (quickly), and to be able to fly home tomorrow night. I still do...

Windows keeps asking to restart to make changes. Leave me alone, I've got pictures of "Mator" the UFO from one of the Car Toons to find. And stuff to prepare for tomorrow.

After watching Easter Beagle, I'm still really, REALLY hoping for some Easter goodness.

Dadgum >.<

Lent xx - 5:30am Days - Day 89

Why is Florida cold in the morning? I mean, I know it's morning, and apparently Florida's been going through a cold snap, but still! Got to work and said hi to (a darkened) Spaceship Earth. People were busy around the one kid's fountain, adding more trees to cover the big pump it seemed. Got assigned to Bubble today. They also randomly had french bread cut into slices this morning. Had a couple of those and ::gasp:: tried a little bit of the coffee they brewed. Straight it's...you know what...I'm very certain cream and sugar are a good thing with that coffee. But it helped take a bit of my headache away. No Kim, Robyn, or Alice this morning. Just me. I feel kind of bad, honestly. I mean, I'd like to be able to talk to the other stockers, they certainly seem like nice people, but every time I encounter them, I usually just say hi or the polite "Pardon me" as I try to get past them. Lonely morning, I guess. I thought there was another person working Bubble this morning. Turns out, she was just doing the accessories, which meant I didn't have to take care of hats or shoes. What a time saver! Also met a girl, whose name I don't remember, who was kind enough to move some shirts and jackets around and bring up some new shorts. She had a nice sense of humor. People are being let into the park at 8:45am, instead of the usual 9:00am, so I tried to stock what I could. A random family came in, looking to get to the Princess breakfast they were a little late getting to. I have no idea how they got in, but since our doors are (mostly) locked in the morning, they had a bit of trouble getting out. Did the wave and kept on stocking. Walked out the door at one point and into a family with teen boys trying on t-shirts. Guys, while I appreciate that you are fit, we do actually have fitting rooms. But the Mom (who didn't speak very much English, which doesn't matter, but may convey that she and her family spoke mostly in a language I didn't recognized) said they were hurried. No time for fitting rooms then? Also met a trio of young teen girls looking for a hoodie in a small. All we had was mediums unfortunately (I even checked where the clothing was being hung like a good little stockgirl), and offered to call mail order for them to see if I could locate the hoodie anywhere else. I had my doubts, since most of the time, mail order is busy, I can't reach them (for some reason), or our stock levels just suck, but would you believe...mail order actually came through! The guy said the hoodies might be at Club Cool (across the plaza, although the girls said they'd checked there earlier with no luck) and also at Sir Mickey's at Magic Kingdom. Hopefully that helped. Brian (wearing a Goofy hat) asked me to get things a couple of times, which I know I'm supposed to do, but I felt a little bossed around. I think it was the lack of energy. Or the coffee. Not as bad as that nast 3:30am Crossroads McDonalds stuff x.x Also had to deal with a double stapler issue. Both Bubble staplers were't working, so I ran to jewlery to get one. Then ran to get staples to fill them up. The first stapler (at the station where the girl from this morning was working) got jammed. Too many staples. My fault. The second, by Brian, had just one (later discovered cluster) staple stuck in the opening. The girl eventually came to help me out, using scissors and a dump voucher (which sounds wrong) to work on them. Apparently she's going to school to be a nurse. I think she's got the skill. Didn't actually go on my break until after 10:30am (oops), and when I got back, I decided it would be best if I stayed in my area, rather than go up to the registers. For one thing, I had a good deal of register work yesterday. For another, I wanted to see if I could keep up on the straightening, at least a little. Met a gentleman in a Tillie (Tilly?) hat who was looking at jackets, either for him or his wife, I wasn't sure. Found out the hat was authentic and from Austrailia, where his daughter lives on the east coast. Later, when I was doing put-backs, I heard "Lady!" and turned to see the man and his wife. She was trying on the jacket he'd bought, saying it was too large. She was going to go for a smaller size, then saw I had a navy jacket in my hands (the same style that the couple-with-the-woman-who-wanted-the-XL-and-had-me-call-all-over-just-to-go-use-their-fast-passes-on-a-ride had wanted), and tried that. She liked it, but not complete, and ended up getting a Grumpy jacket. Ah well, thought it was kind of cool I had had the almost jacket in my hands. While she was trying it on, found out I reminded them of their 40-year-old daughter (is that a good thing?) and that they had some family in Illinois. Neat ^-^ Took my second break around 1:15pm, and had planned to try to do some last minute stocking before I left (on time for once). Unfortunately, I got balled up in the shoe area. I had three shoes, two right and one left, all three of different sizes. I have no idea where their partners went. After that, I just headed to the front, clocked out, put my stuff away, and headed out. I had been feeling a little burst of energy earlier, and thought that I might try to do some of the stuff I should be doing, phone calls and walks and whatnot. But as I got to my car, I realized how tired I was. Back at the apartment, I had planned to go lay by the pool for a bit, but opted for laying in bed instead. I think I slept for about four hours, and woke up dreaming a depressing segment of dream in which my Mom and Dad were visiting me in some dark little town, and Dad was saying I had probably never driven in that particular area before and didn't believe me when I insisted I had. I don't want us to have a relationship like that :( Anyway, I woke up because Mom had called me. I had blearily read her text message about rainbow bread not being made anymore (WHY?!?!), but hadn't responded to that or her text about her and Dad going to Sweet Tomatos. It was good she woke me up though: I was hungry. We chatted a little bit, mostly about Easter and how I'm still going to try to find someone to work for me and how maybe there's still a chance, and then I went to go make my chicken-topped salad. Of course, whether I was tired, or just awesome, I got out the crumbled goat cheese and must've been holding it wrong, because the top came off and a great deal of it spilled all over the kitchen floor. I cleaned it up of course, but now I'm a little bummed because I have to ration it. I guess I won't have to worry about there being leftovers? I also switched on the tv and caught "The Luck of The Irish" on Disney Channel. On a neat little aside, the guy who plays the villian Seamus is also Lassetter on Psych. I asked my Mom to take a look to be sure, as she said she'd seen him on Seinfeld too. She also mentioned that Ryan Merriweather (main character) may be Bree's son on Desparate Housewives. This is strangely fun. Did some dishes. Stood in awkward silence scrubbing at a cup while Maria wordlessly zipped around the kitchen. And now, I'm feeling tired again and am thinking it's time for bed.

Just wanted to mention that yesterday I met an older gentleman who said that it was his and his wife's first time to Walt Disney World. They'd been to Disneyland quite a few times, but not here. He was looking for some headband ears for his wife, and as I showed him around, he told me that she was a "secret Snow White". In other words, she has a personality just like Snow. Sure enough, I encountered him again while on register (he was going to another register though: shorter lines) and afterwards, he briefly introduced his wife to me. Just from those couple of seconds, with her laugh and her attitude, I could totally see why she is a secret Snow. Very cool.

Speaking of Snow White, one other quick thing, at the meeting this morning, I think I might have been mentioned in a story. Ginny read something about Katie (there's a couple of Katies though, or at least a Katy Beth, so maybe not me) and Kim greeting a Guest who had all Snow White pins. Talked about the topiaries at Germany (Ginny paused here, waiting for location, which I said, but quietly, so she didn't hear me) and about being a future Cast Member. Sounds sort of like something that happened to me when Sarah was around, and Sarah was there this morning, but who knows?

Here's hoping for my future. And sweet dreams.


P.S. - My Dad sent me a text this morning saying today is the 89th day of 2010. Wow. 89 days already?

P.P.S. - When I got home, I ended up watching most of another episode of Jonas? Really? Really??

Lent xx - 5:30am Days - It's not 5:30!!

9:00am - 5:30pm shift today!
No wait...9:00am - 6:00pm shift today!
Wait, wait...9:00am - 6:30pm shift today!!

Yeah, that's right!

I'm tired, I need sleep, and I don't know how I feel about being on register.
But I've got a craving for some of Goofy's candy :P

Also, I picked out Kirsten Storms on General Hospital! I'm not sure what that really means, as I don't really watch the show, but woo!!

Lent xx - 5:30am Days - I need to be cuddled

Checked cds this morning: Easter Sunday - 5:30- 14:00.

...

Assigned to home dec today. Originally had a partner, but then she got moved to kids. Need to learn how to fold towels. Manager Rob was asking what sections we like. Kind of really didn't say anything, when I should've. Had also asked which ones we didn't like. Figured if I told him this, then if I screwed up, he'd put me there. Probably should have spoken up, ne? New plush named...P...uh...don't know. Nicknamed Pluto "Ninja Pluto". Met little girl in Tiana dress. Really cute, really nice. British accent? Scraped her knee on the side of a pool. Got a little Figment to kiss it to see if it made it better. Figment kissed her cheek too. She said it didn't help :P Asked if Donald was up in the office. Said he was, but busy because he was dealing with his nephews. Tried to put out Fab 5 display frame. Wrestled with the box for a few minutes, ended ripping it to get at frame, then struggled to put frame together (Minnie separate piece that helps hold photo display), and finally, after getting it, lifted it up to check for price and price tag...and dropped it. Minnie's arms and nose popped off. Off to damages...lesson learned. Went on first break a little late, but went instead of going to register. Needed food and a break. Never got to my second break. Considered extending. Decided against. Did find $5 though! And gave it to the manager x.x I really need to learn... Nicknamed Alice and Robyn the Tweedle Twins. Started to rain as I got to my car. Got to apartment, chatted with Mom on phone, and got into apartment just as rain started really coming down. Almost like snow. Outlines of things were all fuzzy and white. Little lightning and thunder too. Got to watch Dumbo (finally) when I got back. Good movie. Haven't seen it since I was a kid, which was weird, because I remembered some parts. Ah Dumbo. Related a lot to him in more than one way. "Baby Mine" sequence got me sniffly. At 64 minutes, decided to watch again with audio commentary. Was learning some neat stuff, but had to go to Church and so had to shut it off halfway through. Palm Sunday Mass - long, but enjoyable. 6:00pm Mass, ended at 7:30pm. Got me kind of down too. Partially because I kept thinking about Baby Mine. Also because of lack of Easter Headed to Vista to drop off Dumbo and Jurassic Park (really wanted to watch the rest of Dumbo and actually watch Jurassic Park). Picked up Great Mouse Detective and 101 Dalmations. Actually watched an episode of Jonas on Disney Channel. I know!! Wtf?? Also chatted with Mom again. Feeling down about Easter. Feel I can't really go anywhere, because it's spring break, everyone's here for vacation and Easter, and since I'm working Easter, not really much of a "vacation" or holiday for me. Mom suggested visiting the tourist traps. Good idea. Delayed in getting to bed when I wanted to, so I should probably go now.

Why is everything I want on iTunes $1.29?

Also, I forgot to mention yesterday that I learned how to hand hug. If I give my right hand, you give your right, so we're palm-to-palm with thumbs on opposite sides. Then, move thumb around side of other person's hand. It's a hug!

Dumbo taught me you don't need wings to fly.

Lent xx - 5:30am days - Changing Awkwardly

Assigned to home dec today.
Got many mini projects.
Brad left.
Anthony's leaving.
According to a Facebook quiz, I'm supposed to be an entertainment Cast Member.
Time for sleep.

P.S. - Epcot at night, with no people, and pathways large enough to presumably fit three cars, is cool

Lent xx - 5:30am days - Expected Changes

Charging $4.50 just to PROCESS extension request? Ridiculous! Yesterday was assigned to Bubble. Stocked on and off throughout the day. Just kind of needed it. Ginny pulled me to do a project at one point. Had Pirates t-shirts on one wall, wanted to swap them to another. While doing so, Mom and two little girls came in. Little girls wanted to pin trade. Traded, chatted about pins. Saw one was wearing an "I'm Celebrating" button. Asked what it was for. Little girl looked at Mom and Mom said to tell. Little girl said "I'm celebrating my little sister kicking ::kick:: cancer's butt". These girls were like...three? Four? Incredible. Definitely something to celebrate. Engaged with family for little while more, then they were off. Later, while I was running around trying to find an adult a hat that only seemed to come in youth sizes, Ginny told me I had done a good job with the Mom and the little girls. Said it was good of the Mom to tell the older sister what was going on, but not to make it scary. Good point. Still...wow. What an encounter.

Today assigned to Bubble too. Merchandise display people in store, moving things around. Got pulled by them to do little projects involving the hats/t-shirts and, later, the shoes. Took up most of my morning. Manager Brad wandered by at points, first to ask how I was doing ("All right." "Just all right?" "Doing great!" Asked me if I was lying, said no, just stretching the truth. Asked if I was telling a tall tale, said I was) and then later to see if I was still... I suggested awake, he said breathing. Said I was, thanks for the concern. Stocked a little once I was finished with projects. Break and then had to work on putting away the stuff the display people had taken down from Breezeway. Got caught in assisting Guests, calling down to the stockroom, calling Mail Order, calling Port Orleans - Riverside. For that one, the Guests had wanted a grey Minnie pull-over/hoodie they'd seen there. Woman took a bit to check the stock, then revealed she'd grabbed a medium. That was the sku I had read off, yes, but I had wanted a large, which I didn't have in order to read off. Don't know if the phone disconnected or if she never came back, but stood through at least 10 minutes of silence while the busy lines kept building. Then, while still trying to stock and take care of the Breezeway items, Manager Brad found me and asked if I had done cardboard. I said no and he moved on. Then, when I was on floor, got called by Robyn and Alicia (?) to help. Turns out, we were all on cardboard. Got to push a whale (big tub/bin on wheels) full of cardboard. Up the incline, felt like Sunset again ^-^ The cardboard pargo (full of cardboard from yesterday since it had been broken yesterday) was sitting at the entrance of the tunnel, where the cardboard compactor was. Recognized it, since we had it at Sunset. Unloaded. Three older men chatting and smoking nearby. One, the oldest, said the other two were waiting for us to empty the pargo. If they really wanted it, they could've helped. Got it done (eventually) and they took it. Saw Jasmine walk by. She greeted us with a hello ^-^ Finally got through everything. Decided the compactor sounded like Chewbacca and nicknamed it "Chewy". Noisy trip back through tunnel. Got back in amount of time I had guessed it would take us. Manager Brad greeted us. Bumped both fists and did an "explosion" noise with "explosion" fingers with each of us. At this point, still hadn't finished putting away the Breezeway stuff. Hadn't even stocked, let alone cleaned. Decided to extend until 3:00pm. Managed to at least organize Bubble and grab all the misplaced items. Finished with Breezeway items. Break again. Went to stock backpacks that were needed on a fixture. In basement, I and another girl wanted to head up to first floor. Went up, but were delayed in getting off the elevator. Elevator moved up to second floor, where we met Manager Sandra and Manager Brad. Girl jokingly gave them a hard time about having us come up and the elevator doors almost closing on her butt. Manager Brad said thank you for the work I did, especially with the projects this morning. "Katie rocks", Manager Sandra said. Manager Brad agreed. Said thank you, kind of awkwardly. Manager Sandra also saw that I was bringing backpacks to stock my area, said it was a good thing. Helped a young boy find the ear hats. Brought him new, red, character model sheet Mickey hat. Seemed to like it. Also called stock for a pair of pjs for a woman shopping for her daughter. Didn't have them, but offered up suggestions. She seemed happy over those and said thanks. At this point, time to go. Left, got the mail with a borrowed mail key from front desk, watched coupled of episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place. Had had window open because weather was so nice. Saw two people pull up in a pargo and figured they were here to check running toilet. Tried to clean a little bit. Knock on door. Turns out they'd spotted the open window and wanted to write a reminder that we couldn't have it open. WTF? I understand, but writing stuff? Not in trouble though. Talked to Mom a bit about career and future. Talked to Ralph about life and Pokemon. Saw today was last day to extend program through summer. Decided at last minute to go for it. Think $4.50 just to apply is stupid, even moreso because it's charged to credit card. Went for concierge, hospitality, character attendant, merchandise (I know!), main entrance operations. Find out status in mid-April.

Quick notes because I have to go to bed:

Got my hair cut (finally!) at Kingdom Kutters (Magic Kingdom utilidors) on Monday at 10:00am. Long hair not long enough for Locks of Love. Vice President of Magic Kingdom goes there too!

Found out today (tomorrow?) is Manager Brad's last day at Mouse Gear. Being moved to Downtown Disney. So much for looking forward to morning managers...

Anthony's last day of work at Jungle Cruise was on Thursday. Supposed to leave on Sunday. Bummer. Real bummer.

Also, apparently it rained last night. Slept right through it.

Mike Simmonds is working 12 hour shifts from 5am to 5pm. And I thought stocking was bad...

Time for bed. Need to work more towards my future. Also, need to watch movies.

Lent xx - 5:30am Days - Connecting people by (tele)communications

Today was my Friday. So excited! Got assigned to Spider. One of the busiest sections in the store, especially because of 20% coupon and predicted rain. Oh boy. Stocked what I could, then found a bunch of what I was missing packed up, sitting in the tunnel, waiting to be opened. Managed to unwrap and hang on hangers some of the pj tops I needed. Jeri, stocker lady, took over, and did all the rest. Discovered Kim was at work during the morning meeting. Traded shifts, so she got to start at 9:00am. The Wave was fun this morning. Little girl spotted me and immediately wanted to pin trade. Her sister came over and traded with Brian. So early and right off the bat! Went back, stocked fancy white rain jackets and finished 2/3 of the hats. Deemed it "decent" and went to break. Must say, maybe they stocked Spider really well last night. If so, I absolutely appreciated it. Did not have anything caffinated while on break. Realized on my way back onstage that that was probably not the smartest idea. Got pulled back and forth between working register, directing Guests, and trying to straighten. Didn't get to give that much attention to spider actually. Met a woman from around Elgin. Special Ed assistant on spring break. Talked a little bit about all the education layoffs happening in that area. Later, met a stressed out Dad who was buying all sorts of items for his family. Worked through his pile of items as quickly as I could. Though stressed, he still had a bit of a friendly tone. Hope all's well for him and his family. Biggest event of the day was couple I met who wanted a cloth (soft? Not fleece) zip jacket in navy blue in XL. Tried calling stockroom. Must've not had my radio connected properly, never got a response. Went down and checked. Only had medium and 3x. Woman, annoyed, wrote down the sku number from the jackets, saying she could never get what she wanted at any of the stores. I offered to call World of Disney to see if jacket was there. Had to head to jewlery to get a phone. Soon as I reached it, stopped by the other two Cast Members there. One, older British-sounding guy, wanted to know if we had extra links for a certain watch. Other had a question about batteries being included in the watches and how to start them. I had no answers; it was my first time in jewlery. It was their first times too. Called operator to connect to World of Disney. Had to go through a little phone menu. Pressed key to talk to Cast Member. Phone went silent. Not dead, no ring tone, but nothing was going on. Tried again. Same thing. Tried again, got a little further, then phone went silent. Kept trying, alternating with Mail Order (apparently closed on weekends, thanks a lot), and trying to figure out how to dial the World of Disney number directly so I didn't have to keep using the operators. Got someone's private voicemail, and when I finally figured it out, twice got the message that Merchandise was closed on weekends. I pressed number to talk to Cast Member, how'd I get there? Meanwhile, continued to get asked a couple of questions from jewelry Cast Members, still trying to help their Guests. Couple said they had to meet someone (eventually revealed it was for a Fast Pass). Would come back to find out whether or not World of Disney had jacket. Woman's name was Denise, that's all I got, and then they left. FINALLY reached live person at World of Disney. Was asked to hold as they had a substantial line. Must work really, really quickly, because not too long after, they were back. Explained what I needed. Said they needed to walk the floor. Came back after a bit and said no. Thanked them profusely. Decided to go on break. Just coming up on 1:00pm and figured if couple would be back, I should be there for them. Jewerly was a little better. Meag stopped by and helped sort things out with the links Guest, although they also wanted to do a return, and Meag directed her over to the other Cast Member (busy helping start the watch) to wait even longer, rather than just doing it and getting Guest on her way. On my way to break, recalled what I had learned in the morning regarding white rain jackets and pj tops (and salmon-colored Minnie pants and black patch peace jackets!) and checked with stockers unloading tubs. Jeri had just hung up an XL navy jacket. Thrilled, though didn't show it. Ran back up to get back and Guest hold form, put the jacket on hold, and went to break. Cut break early by 7 minutes. Felt couple would've been back by then. With less than half hour to go, decided to try straightening. Was asked by random Guest if we carried Hollywood Studios shirts. Meag found me and asked to go to register, since Guests were coming in from rain. Explained I was waiting for Guests and had to leave in 15 minutes, but agreed. Got register in Bubble and helped Kim out by cutting down the line. Luckily, in 15 minutes, another Cast Member (possibly Alice?) took over. Finished taking care of packages being shipped out, returned my radio, and clocked out. Never saw couple. Mentioned to woman named Karen (staying until midnight) about the Guests, should they come back. Cleaned up my cart and inktags and left. Took bus to keep out of the rain. Didn't help in parking lot. Right foot feeling pretty wet. Rain coming down at different speeds and angles prompted me to have some crackers and chill out. Managed to take a bit of a nap. Woke up just as the rain was letting up a bit, yay! Started car and was headed out, when noticed the entrance to backstage had big puddle of water people were driving through. Decided to exit by health services. Got back to apartment and ate two bowls of Cinnamon Chex (new, just opened, and quite good). Took care of an e-mail, learned some Disney trivia on The Hub, and fell asleep. Had planned to be up to watch first episode of "Life" on Discovery Channel. Woke up half way through. Said screw it, went back to bed. Woke up again after midnight. Decided to take care of little mess I'd made with my impromptu nap. Clothes away, teeth brushed, ect. Soyoung asleep on couch, so decided to update here. Stacy came back, waking her up, so Soyoung moved in here. Stacy now unnecessarily on computer on couch. Sorry, probably still tired. Much to do, but going back to bed.

This week Wednesday I start at 10:45am (or something like that, maybe 10:00am). Otherwise, all 5:30am days. No Monday or Tuesday off, working those days straight through until Friday, whch was requested off for Easter. All 5:30am days except for one. Still don't know if I'm working Easter. Working Tuesday means I can't go to Kennedy Space Center. Got to change that, yessiree.

Also, while at work, Democrats only needed 2 more votes to reach 216 needed for their healthcare bill.Looking up "yessiree" on Yahoo! just now, looks like they got it. Woo hoo!
