Mardi Gras

Late Night/Early Morning-I was at work until 10:30 last night and it took me almost an hour to get home, then I had to get up at 7:30 to get back to work today.

Special Assignment- I got to work and immediately "is Kassi here yet?" was being yelled from the leaders' office. Rona (one of the leaders) wanted me to start right away on special assignment...this sounds a lot cooler than it is. What it meant is that I went around filling in for people who called into work. I went to coffee first and helped Milcar. She did bank while I made the coffee drinks and got the food packaged up for guests. I enjoy working in coffee and the hour that I was there for flew by. She actually begged me not to leave...I don't if this was because she didn't want to have Jose work with her or if she just liked that I could keep up with filling all the orders.

Mr. Kamals- After finishing at coffee I went back to base to check in with Rona. I was going to Mr. Kamals and I would have to close. Mr. Kamals ( I think it is a play on camels but I don't know) is in the Asia part of Animal Kingdom so I was kind of excited for a new experience. Plus Crazy Lady always works in Kamals so we got to work together. The one thing I was dreading was cleaning the fryers at the end of the day. Kamals sells corn dog nuggets and chicken nuggets both fried. I can just see my grandma laughing now because she knows how much I hate fryers!!! Heidi (Crazy Lady) and I had a good time and she stayed later than she was scheduled to help me with the first fryer so I would know how to do it :) It will be good practice for all the days I am supposed to be in funnel next week.

Bubba Gumps- I brought extra clothes and after work a group of us were headed to Bubba Gumps for a pre-birthday dinner for Jaimee (she will be 19 Saturday). It was quite that adventure getting there. Olivia was driving and Bubba Gumps is at Universal so we had to use the navigation system. Well we did several cycles and some crazy turns and the navigation system didn't seem to know much better than we did where we needed to park. After close encounters of being hit we finally found the proper parking garage. It was so so so cold, so we all ran a large portion of the way there on the moving walkways just like the airports and Caesar's Palace in Vegas has. I had a delicious mushroom burger which would make Chris cringe and a side of mashed potatoes and in honor of giving up sweets I thought I deserved some key lime pie for dessert. ;)

Lent- starts tomorrow, I am giving up sweets...it should be a challenge especially since all I want to eat is everything sweet that I sell at work.

I miss the good ole days when mom and I would go to mass every Wednesday night after track practice.
