Eh.

I'm home from my second 12 hour day. Tomorrow will be the third in a row. It's exhausting, but you know, I actually love it. Working 36 hours and getting it all done in 3 days is much more enjoyable to me than Emily's schedule: six-hour days where you waste the morning sleeping in because you're too tired from the late work night. And you work too late to do anything afterwards. For 6 out of 7 days. Nah, I'll take my tiring 12 hours.

Today was actually better than expected. I was working at the cart we call Ice Cream 16, which is the ice cream cart right before Mexico. So I get a lot of direction questions and drunks folks. Good times. It felt very long today - I was sent on lightning location for the first hour of my shift... which means standing in a sheltered corner of the Oddessy building and waiting for the all-clear. Yay, exciting. While not work, there is literally nothing to do to pass the time. All day it was damp and yucky and raining and hot and muggy and just plain gross. The key to Disney at this time of year? Expect to get wet and just deal with it. Because it'll happen.

I did discover the cast member cafeteria that is backstage today! For some reason I was never shown where it was on my first day. It's huge. There's a Subway restaurant in it. And ice cream. And the kitchen that makes our pretzels. And it's air conditioned. Guess where I spent my break today? :)

Other than that, I did nothing really exciting. I met some folks from Pittsburgh who were hockey fans and so were wondering how close my town is to Cole Harbour; Sidney Crosby town as far as they knew. They were very excited when I told them I knew exactly where it was.

A new friend at work helped me close my cart for the night... and let me watch the rest of the fireworks :) I closed up my cart quickly, and when I go back to base, I realized how much I'd miss the folks here. We were all laughing and they were poking fun at the Canadian and her "eh's". And the lack of security from the Canadian's at the border vs. the Americans. And the snow. And it was a lot of fun :)

I rode the bus home with a friend and have spent the rest of my evening cleaning out the fridge for housing inspections tomorrow. The have such strict rules it seems as though they expect that we don't actually live here, rather that we just clean it spotless and then have nothing personal here. Sigh. Oh well, hopefully they'll understand. I won't be here, I'll be at work.

I have one month left. It seems so short, and so crazy that I've been away from home and family for six weeks. One month! :)

Now it's time for a Disney movie and bed! Goodnight everyone <3 :)
