weeeee lots and lots of hours

Hey so apparently for the next 3 weeks I will be making money but have no time to spend it, we are losing 3 people tomorrow so that puts us understaffed, this week I am working 55 hours, next week I am working 60 hours and the following week I got the heads up I might be in for 70 hours for 2 people are taking vacations and even though we are getting 3 people in we are also taking people out of rotation so they can train them.

I went to Sea World on Monday and there was a promotion that you could pay for a day and get in for the rest of the year free (rest of 2011) so now I get access to Disney, Universal and Sea world, so now when I actually start getting days off again I can go to any park.

sorry it is short right now, I will up load some photos later.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to ask them.

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night.

Harry potter world

So I went back to work on Friday and one of my coworkers had left, her last week of the program was the same week I went back home but she did leave me a leaving note in my leaving book ( it’s a book that everyone who I meet and make friends with can write in when they leave at the end of their program) this week we will be loosing 3 more.

The new girl who was just earning her ears when I went home, has now earned her ears and is in rotation but the CDS is being annoying like it was with me and is not allowing her to pick up engraver positions. so hopefully it takes less time for her to get it worked out then it did for me.

on Monday (yesterday) I went to universal with a friend, though I should say that we only really did Harry Potter World, but I bought a annual pass on the flex plan (means that you put down a down payment of $115 and then every month they charge a credit card $12) but because I now have a annual pass I can go when ever I want, which is great for I am now addicted to Butterbeer, and I have found things I like to buy.

Today (Tuesday) I went to walmart and got some lunch items, I also did some laundry and just stayed inside for it was HOT out today.

These are pictures of Harry Potter World.

Good bye Baba, I love you.

So this week I experienced what happens when something happens to a family member when you are here in Orlando working. On the 11th of May I got the phone call that I never wanted to hear and that is that my Baba (grandmother) passed away, I was at work at the time with 4 more hours of the shift, I talked to my manager and they gave me a early release that day and the day off the next day so I can work out what was going on. It turns out that the bereavement policy is 5 paid days for out of state and 3 paid days for in state since my family was in Alberta I got the out of state policy so that I could travel home, you need to fill out a purple form and then get your work to fill out a section and housing to fill out a part and then you show it to immigrations when you come back into the states.

so the time line was on Wednesday the 11th I found out the news and was ER, on Thursday they gave me a day off and and a friend dragged me out of the house, Friday and Saturday I worked my shifts and then on Sunday I headed home. Monday and Tuesday was family time and wed. was the funeral then on Thursday I flew back to Orlando, On the plane I sat next to a little boy who was going to Disney and I gave him a Mickey sticker.

I’m glad I went home for if I didn’t I would have regretted not going for I was very close to my Baba since I was a kid I have either seen or spoke to my Baba every few days, so the simple fact that now that I can’t call her anymore makes me quite sad.

But on a different note my family might come out to see me in Nov. if holidays can be taken.

Today I go back to work, I have brought some maple cookies back for my coworkers and I have also brought myself back 2 jars of cheese whiz because they don’t have it here, I also got some Canadian chocolate bars and all dressed chips.  

will that’s all for this week,

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night

“Honey don’t touch their moose head”

Hey so I realized I am really late in updating so this time around I’m just going to give some brief point on what happened.

* So I heard the a funny thing from a guest, I was ringing a Guest purchase and it was a Moose head that you can put onto the wall (yes we actually sell that in the Canadian store) and there was this little girl next in line who was looking at our NHL playoff scores and she moved the moose’s head out of the way a bit, her mom goes “Honey don’t touch their Moose head” I looked up at her and she looked like she was going to burst out laughing, so I asked her if she ever thought she would say that sentence.

* I went to the Spring Formal, it was a Villain theme so I got some pictures with the Jafar, the evil step-mother, the evil queen and Mickey.

* A girl that I use to work with Self termed, or as I also found out was termed, because she went out and bought a switch blade, so moral of the story no matter how much you don’t like your roommates or living here don’t buy a knife and then tell people about it.

* Because of her leaving my schedule got messed around so when I looked at my schedule yesterday on my day off I suddenly saw that I got a shift for today which was suppose to be my 2nd day off, so I am now working 6 days this week and then 6 days next week as will.   

will that’s all for now,

I will try to keep this more up to date.

I would love some comments or questions

Cheers;

Good Morning,
