go giants!

well i thought that today i wouldn't have anything to write about, because i thought it was going to be just another day at work... although days working at disney aren't ever just regular days. it's so refreshing (for the most part, most of the time!) if i'm being honest, i don't really remember what my day was like yesterday, because, as i believe i've mentioned before, all my days up here are kind of a blur and they all blend together. it was relatively quiet in magic kingdom though, thanks to the superbowl. now, i don't really know who exactly played, but i THINK it was the patriots and the giants or something? and i know it's american football. and that's about it.

this morning on the bus, half of the male population was overjoyed by the giants' (right?) win and the other half was so vex. it is so funny to see how mens' attitudes up here are influenced by a game. today the mvp of last night made a guest appearance in magic kingdom, so of course, the shops were empty for the entire time prior to his arrival. (and don't ask me who the mvp is because i have no idea - although i overheard someone at work saying something about eli today? so i'm guessing that's his first name?)

anyways, the day went by relatively quickly. i had a lot of role rotations which means that i don't stay in one area for too long. for example, i work in one location, then someone bumps me out, sending me somewhere else, and i bump the person working there out, who has to go somewhere else to bump someone else out, and it's a cycle that works like that. i like it when it's like that because i never get bored, and it gives me a chance to get to know a lot more people that i work with.

when it was time for me to clock out tonight, i was so excited. i feel like i haven't had time off (and i have a day off tomorrow) so i was so excited to just get on the bus and get home! so the disney vip cast members bus picked me up from the mouth of the tunnel, and then took me to west clock, which is where the bus that takes me home picks me up from. i was waiting with a friend of mine, among like thirty or forty other people. our bus finally came and everyone swarmed to get on, and the bus driver said he only had room for ten more people which is ridiculous! by this time, more cast members are coming and waiting to get on the same bus. more time passes and no busses are coming. by this time, the amount of cast members waiting to get on the 'a' bus is insane. everybody was complaining and getting extremely restless, threatning to call the bus company. of course, overhearing the meaningless threats, i decide to call, and of course, they could give me no information. i felt like i was in barbados. (by the way, by this time there is a minimum of a hundred people, and i'm not even lying.) so while waiting, i remembered i met a friend at work who told me he had a car, so everytime another vip cast member bus would come (which comes about every five minutes) i was frantically looking for him, desperately hoping he would step off the bus and give my  other friend and i a lift home. busses (that are not ours) keep coming, and he's not on it. so then i decide to call the taxi company. the woman told me they would charge about $23 to take us home and we were no way going to pay that. ever. so we keep waiting, soaking up everyones body heat and frustration. then i finally see my friend with the car, and i don't know how i got out the crowd, but i made it and asked him for a drop home. he couldn't believe i was still there waiting, because i had left basically an hour before he did. i was never so relieved to see someone in my life!

so now i'm finally home, and while i am fairly exhausted, i am so full of energy too. i finally have a day off tomorrow and am going to the mall with some friends! i've been putting it off, nervous i'm going to overspend, but i am going to have will power and am going to be responsible.

so just thought i'd share that little story. i know it probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but believe me, if you were there, you would have gotten SO vex. i was surprisingly cool and mellow about it - i haven't gotten angry since i've been up here. it's so nice. (mum i know you probably think i'm lying but i'm not.) anyways, i figure i can't just put all the magical moments in my blogs, i have to keep it realistic for all the future bajans interested! i'm missing home a bit tonight after i skyped stephie earlier today and i heard a couple stories about my favourite boys (8.5;).) definitely put a smile on my face though! i hope that everybody at home is as continuously happy as i am! lots of love and magic! <3
