A crazy week.

I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a week or so. My laptop charger broke and I haven't had time to look for a new one. I've had to use my phone to get on the internet and it's been really annoying.

My hours have been different this week since it's been Spring Break and Easter is coming up. On Sunday, March 24th, I worked in Tomorrowland from 12:45 PM to 4:00 AM and it wasn't so bad! It rained really hard for the first part of the day so a lot of guests left.  My first couple assignments were to give people their breaks but we went 101, which means we can't go outside, for about an hour because there was a tornado warning. Afterwards, for most of the day I was "Popcorn Sweeper," which is an assignment you can get when the park is really busy because popcorn gets everywhere. I mostly just walked around, dried off benches and trash cans, swept, and talked to guests. There wasn't much to it. The position was dropped at around 8:00 and I got "Launching Pad Trasher." People told me that it would be really hard to do because it's hard to keep up; apparently it's the equivalent of Casey's Trasher.

That was a lie.

It was literally the easiest job ever. I probably did five trash runs from 8:00 PM to 3:00 AM because the restaurant closed at 9:00 and I was so bored for most of the time. At one point I even went over to Main Street to help clean up after the parade because I didn't have anything to do. Somehow my costume got SO dirty though. A coordinator even told me to go change but I couldn't because I didn't have any costumes with me. He was a jerk about it and when I told another coordinator about it later on in the night, he said he thought I should get a Show Four Keys Card because my dirty costume meant that I worked hard.

I mostly walked around for the rest of the night doing nothing, waiting for the night to end. I thought I would get an ER because everyone was done closing their zones but we ended up staying until 3:45. I got home around 4:30, took a shower, made food, and went to sleep around 5:30. Although it was a long day, I'm really looking forward to my paycheck!
