So yesterday I had the pleasure of sleeping in...however I didn't make it past 8:15...oh well. I didn't have to be to work until 3:30. I accomplished a lot of my chores: laundry, cleaned some of the bathroom, and went for a nice run. I skyped with my mom who felt that it was necessary to ask me a question and while I answered make funny faces and move her face around the screen. So if you want some cheap entertainment just make a skype date with her. I also got to see TUGGERS!!! I don't think dogs can see computer screens because he was sniffing everywhere for me when he heard my voice. When I told him to sit, he did and his ears perked up really big when I asked him if he wanted a doggy bone :) He is still a cute little fur ball.
I got to work 45 minutes early because the bus schedule is terrible and that was the closest I could get without being late. It started raining during my bus ride which it was supposed to and by the time I got to base at 3 it was pouring! Then it started lightning so we went 101 which means anyone who is at an ice cream cart must lock everything up and go to their lightning location...which in my opinion some of the lightning locations will not keep anyone safe from lightning. We were in lightning locations for the first two hours I was on the clock. So I got to just hang out. I ended up having to show some cast members who are working in Animal Kingdom for a few weeks but normally work at Epcot how to bank out. They are here because our leaders have requested extra help for spring break. They people from Epcot heard that a bunch of people from DAK ODF were terminated for this huge party we had...well remember the St. Patrick's Day party that I told you about...this immediately popped into my head. But no one was terminated because of it. Then another one of the Epcot people added on that his roommate saw a bunch of people running from the cops who busted the party. Rumors at Disney are worse than high school rumors...and this was very obviously false. None the less it gave me a good laugh.
When I finally got out to my ice cream cart it was slow. I was at Oasis Bridge which is where I was for my first day of training. It has popcorn, drinks, and ice cream. Many days it is crazy busy. Pretty much everyone had left during the storm so it was just me and a random duck that kept coming to eat popcorn crumbs. I had not worked at a popcorn cart since my very first day of training. I couldn't remember how to make popcorn and the cherry on top was that the oil that does in the popcorn machine was broken so I had to hand scoop out of a bucket a cup of oil...gross. My first batch was very burnt...the second one was very yellow...the third one was okay. One little girl even said "Mommy, this isn't as good as I thought it would be." (sarcastic voice) Awesome...
When it came time to pack up and go to base all of the ice cream boxes were frozen to the bottom of the freezer. I was doing the duck and diving into the cart with my butt up trying to get all of my ice cream boxes out without ripping the box and having ice cream bars fly everywhere. I got a few cuts on my hands which I didn't notice until I was cleaning out the popcorn machine and I got salt in my open wounds. The phrase "pour salt in open wounds" now makes a lot of sense. I see why people use that as a metaphor for someone hurting them...because it STUNG!
Today is my only day off this week and I will be spending it with Lisa and Mikey :)
