Back to Work

Okay, as some of you know, I was suspended from work last Tuesday for an incident that involved theft from the company. They told me that a suspension was standard procedure when the company was investigating an incident that involved that person. I said, okay whatever, so long as I get paid for the shifts that you're taking away from me. I was eventually cleared and allowed to go back to work, but when I was suspended, they took my Disney ID...

On Friday, I got the call that said that my name was cleared and I could come back to work, where they would give me back my ID. The manager who called me also mentioned that I would be working in "Mickey's of Hollywood" on Saturday, so I would have to wear the costume for that store (Button-down shirt, tie, and suspenders).

Soooo on Saturday, I walk into work and they tell me that I'm wearing the wrong costume. >.< Turns out that I was SUPPOSED to work at the Hub Carts, so I would need to wear their costume (Blue shirt, yellow suspenders). So I turn back and head down to costuming, taking off my tie and suspenders as I walked so I could save some time when I was getting changed. When I get to costuming, I grab the costume I need and go to have it checked out. The only issue is that they needed to see my ID before they could check out another costume...

So I left the Hub Cart costume there, turned back and walked back to work. When I got to the back door of the store that I work in, I saw that I wouldn't be able to go through the back door because you have to swipe your ID to open the damn door...and the only other way to get into the store is to walk "on-stage" and go through the front door, but guests would be able to see me without my tie and suspenders (not good).

At that point, I just sighed and thought, "Wow, what a great way to start back at work!!" Slightly frustrated, I tied that stupid tie back on, put on my suspenders again, and went around to the front door. I met my managers, who gave me a run-down about what had happened with the investigation, basically telling me to avoid getting involved in this kind of situation from now on. I said, okay whatever, so long as I get my f***ing ID back. (Not my actual words).

After I got my ID back, I walked back down to costuming, got the dumb costume, got changed in record time, and walked back to work, only to be told that I would be doing area stock today. F.M.L.

Shtuff...

I haven't posted anything in awhile so I figure I should try now while I've got some free time...

My life is going pretty well right now overall. Work is still annoying and sometimes stressful, but I get through it. On the down side, I don't always get a lot of sleep, so I feel like a zombie some mornings. And then there are the days when I can actually sleep in and my body stays asleep for some 14 hours...

Working six days a week has affected my grades, but not as bad as I thought it would. On the first Statics test I got a 91, when the class average was 71...and on the first Physics test I got a 90, when the class average was 58. My Chemistry grade is pretty bad though...

A friend of mine from work, Anthony, is working on a plan he has for Osceola County. He wants to turn some 400+ acres into a few tracks for legalized street racing (meaning, street racing that follows the safety requirements of the government). He wants to put the place just off of 192, on that stretch of unused land from Cracker Barrel to the KFC at Old Town.

He presents his plan to some Board in Osceola County next week and I offered to draw him a layout of the place on AutoCAD (a drawing program used by engineers). If I can get it to work, it should look a lot more professional that hand-drawings on notebook paper...

That reminds me, I got yet another speeding ticket on Monday for doing 65 on a 50...it was the RAMP to get onto I-4...When you get onto an interstate, you HAVE to speed up to avoid getting rear-ended by traffic ON the interstate...Obviously, I'm somewhat miffed at FHP right now for taking advantage of drivers like that, specifically me...There's no way for me to keep the points off of my license, which means that my insurance will skyrocket by next year, (because I'm only 20) and for what?

...It just doesn't seem fair.

Facebook Activity

So I logged onto my Facebook account today, and saw that I had a few friend requests to take care of. Usually, it's spam from people trying to get me to play MafiaWars or KingdomWars, but today I had 3 friends requests from people I actually know...

The first two were from Marcus and Omar. Marcus is one of my best friends from high school (he was one of the few friends I had back then) and Omar is another engineering student from Valencia. Derrick should remember him, we had pretty much EVERY class together so we just car-pooled to all of our classes last Spring...

But the third friend request is the one that caught my eye...It was from a guy named Bradley Freeman, my mother's ex-husband's son (so, my step-brother? ex-step-brother?) We got to talking over Facebook and it turns out that he's going to the University of Delaware with another friend of mine, Caitlin. I also asked about Brad's older brother, Scott (my other ex-step-brother) and apparently he graduated from U of D and he's teaching Latin at Dover High School, about 20 minutes from where my Uncle Tim lives...Jesus, small world.

At any rate, it's good to hear from my brothers again (I say brothers because we all had to put up with my mother's alcoholism 8 years ago, and we did kinda grow up together). I haven't seen or spoken to either of them in 5 or 6 years...

Blahhhhhh

I feel like I should write something here but I don't know what...I'd like to write about something that's been on my mind for awhile, but I can't...not right now. So instead, I'll just give a general update on my life:

School is going well. I'm kicking butt with the Physics homework (I'm a week ahead on my deadlines), I'm not having any issues with students or teachers -- scratch that, my History teacher is completely bonkers...but other than that, there have been no major issues thus far.

Work is becoming more and more boring with each passing week. Disney is going to gradually decline like this until November or so, so I guess I'll just have to walk around and LOOK busy...It's odd though, the Company is running out of money, but they scheduled me to work 6 straight days next week. They're all closing shifts and most of them are only 6 hours long, but even still...

So just to let all of my friends know, next week is going to be a bit insane, BUT I'll be working as fast as I can to clear up my Sunday. *crosses fingers* We'll see what happens...

My Last Day of Summer

Last Sunday, my mother asked me to come see her at the rehab center she's at in south Florida. Since I didn't really want to see her anyway, I told her that I had a cold and I didn't know if I would be up for the 2-3 hour drive to go see her (which is partially true).

...But this Sunday, my mom expects me to come see her and this time my dad is pressuring me to go...

I don't want to. I really, really don't want to...I hate being around her, pretending that everything is perfectly fine. At the very least, I know she'll be sober this time but even still...It's a horrible feeling, knowing that my life would be happier if she would just stay out of it.
