I know I haven't been blogging recently. I think the problem is that I haven't been caught up since the beginning of February. I just didn't realize until now that I haven't updated since my trip back to Canada almost two months ago…. I am currently looking through my journal to see if there is anything that happened recently to update about. If not I will just get back on track with updating about my past three days off.
Looking back there is nothing that has happened too exciting to write about. I have gone to Epcot more times then I would have liked too. I went to animal kingdom twice and other then that I have spent all three of my days off sitting at home doing nothing. I always feel guilty for not going out and doing something but I don't really feel like going to a park alone. Next week I think I will go to magic kingdom as I haven't gone in two months if not longer. I always think I should do something but then every week I find myself doing the same stuff. Going grocery shopping one day and then doing nothing on my other days off.
We have had a few attractions cast members go home since the last time I updated. Leah and Zac finished their programs at the end of February. I was sad that Leah was leaving but Zac on the other hand I was okay with him leaving. He was a nice guy but at times could be a total ass. The next person to leave was Jenn, she self termed in the weirdest way possible. We still don't actually know what happened to her or for sure why she self termed. We think she tried to screw us over at work by not self terming properly, that didn't work. We where short one person during opening but then by 12:30 we where fine and the day went smoothly. The best story I have heard about her leaving was that the earth parted Jenn fell in and then closed back up. The latest person is Jeremy. I am super sad about this one because Jeremy always makes work so much fun. We just give each other a hard time about everything and it makes the day go by so much faster. One bad thing about Jer is his NFG attitude about work. He didn't every really care about the job but he is a good cast member when it comes to guests. The thing is when he is around I don't care as much and I start to slip on being a good cast member. So that I guess is one good thing about him leaving now. He was only going to be here until the end of May like Vicky, Nicole and Matt.
Other then that I have become an official Disney trainer. I had the interview a few days after I got back from Canada and then found out I was accepted a few days later. Seeing as a few fellow cast members didn't get their proctor code (the trainer code) I wasn't celebrating yet. A few weeks later I had my train the trainer class and that was basically just common sense stuff about how to train people. Nothing I haven't done before but it was a good refresher I guess. The next day we had our proctor code class. That was just some e-learning before setting up our password. Oh yeah I did both of those classes with Kirsten, fitting as we have done everything so far together. The next day we had our shadow day, basically it's a day where you follow a trainer around learning how to be a trainer in your area. Sounds helpful if it's done right. See there was myself, Kristal and Kirsten all shadowing Allison. That was off balance to begin with, then add in the fact that she was training no one and that was just a disaster waiting to happen. I did learn stuff about being a trainer, the thing is that didn't take all day. We helped out in the attraction for an hour and then after that we learned a bit and then went on our first break and when we got back we did some more stuff and we where all done for the day and we still had an hour and a half until we could take our next break and then a few more hours after that to do something. during our second break I was going crazy from not doing anything, I asked Allison and then Kristal and I went for a walk around the attraction. That ended with us talking outside the back of the attraction about stuff for almost an hour. I don't really know what happened after that but it was the end of the day so I got on the bus and headed back to Vista.
Now lets talk about the past three days.
Monday: I made the trip to whole foods. Its about a 15 min walk to get there from Walmart. Getting to Walmart is already like a half hour bus ride, sometimes more. I walked around whole foods for a bit and then walked back to walmart. By the time I got on the bus home I had been gone for 3 hours already. I just got home, unpacked all my stuff and then relaxed for the rest of the night, talking to Nicole about what the plans where for the next day.
Tuesday: Monday was Matts birthday but he had to work so I didn't see him. The plan was that Nicole, Matt and I where going to hang out and do something. I had a gift to give him and so did Nicole. I slept in and took my time getting ready for the day. I also made vegan poutine, turned out way better then expected! I was doing this so that I wouldn't go crazy waiting for Matt to text us if he wanted to hang out. I texted him about other stuff and then we talked about us hanging out. It ended up that I went to his place and we watched a random youtube videos and 3/4 of the rocky and Bullwinkle movie before turning it off. After that I went back to my apartment journaled while making dinner and then Carrie came home from work and she was followed by Carolyn and Sheldon. We sat and talked for a bit before I left to get the bus with Matt and Nicole. I could of taken a ride with Carrie but I told them I would take the bus and there wasn't room in her car for everyone. We found Baby Nate when we where on the bus and he joined with us. On the walk to Paterson from Chatham we watched the video Nicole made Matt for his birthday, it was fantastic!!!! We then got to the throw out and all almost died from how hot it was in that apartment. It was a big turn out as 7 people are leaving this week.
Today: Today I was planing on going to Epcot and go with Jeremy and some other people and he drank around the world one last time. I know he had other plans too of things to do around the attraction and as much as I wanted to see if he followed through on any of them I also didn't want to be apart of that. I ended up staying home and getting a few things I needed from Walgreens. Did some more journaling and now I am writing this blog in between Degrassi episodes. Currently it is 8:59pm, my plan for the rest of the night is to finish this degrassi episode, then going to bed super early so that I can wake up early and do laundry before work tomorrow and I put off doing it today!
Thats all for now! Now that I am updated I will try and update every day like I was before!!
Have a magical day!
Sam
