Don't Fret

I am tall enough to ride all the rides at Disneyland.
The scale says so.
I am ONE happy camper.
Another piece added to the apartment to make it feel more homelier.
Home Sweet Home.

Spoon


SHE & HIM

!!!!!! PASSION PIT!!!!!!

Avett Brothers

****MATT & KIM****

PHOENIX

Ra-Ra-RIOT

VAMPIRE WEEKEND

and MGMT

You CAN'T tell me that this doesn't sound absolutely AMAZING after hearing that kinda lineup.
I'll probably dream about this forever now.
Guess just jammin to their songs will have to suffice for now.
I want to go to there....

work

so today was a very slow day at work. but my favorite none the less. a couple comes strolling into my store, and i strike up a conversation with the two. they were both very cute and very funny. i love these kind of moments when guests actually interact with me. this couple was just getting into pin trading and so i thought i would help them out. we finally get to the check out when his wife, who was in a wheel chair asked if we had any tinker bell pins. unfortunately, we were out, but i informed them that if they picked out one of the mystery pins, then they might get one, or could just trade with me since i had one. so they bought one, and had me pick it out. low and behold, it was tinkerbell. the wife was thrilled and they thanked me and left so that i could help out the next guest. well i start helping out the next guest when the husband comes running back in and throws a nice lovely balloon animal onto my register. He quickly said how grateful he was for my interaction and ran out of my store before i could get a thank you out. oh how the little things in life just brighten up your day. this is a job that i thoroughly enjoy and is helping grow into a better person.

on another note, i was informed that my leads have recommended me for a lead position. a manager came to talk to me about it today.... lots on my mind

It was epic!!

In the beginning...

Well, it's time for the madness to begin. Working I mean.
Time to be busy busy busy!

But before all the busy working while other people play, my roommates and I decided to make a couple of trips to disneyland before sunday. Here's some of the shannanigans that ensued...

Brown-nosin the Boss Man himself.

Workin the Cast Member Half-Off discount.

Here is actually a sneak peak at the new show in California Adventure called World of Colors... SOOO excited for this to come out!!

Now I'm ready to get to work!!
Here's my cute and very orange ID.

Then you have my very cute nametag.

AND I AM OFF TO TRAINING!!
(This is a sneak peak at one of my many costumes. haha)
So for training, it was crazy. We had a monsoon hit us, and I encountered my very first disgruntled guest. Funny story, and great that I got to experience it my first day! haha
My trainer was Mike. Mike has been with disney for many many many years. He is an old man. With the little hair that he has he likes to comb it over and add a cute little curl at the end. He was hilarious to say the least. More to come about him on my second day of training.
Then you have my Area Leader who was a cute little old lady that had a smokers voice. Her laugh almost made me die. She was the bomb and her name was Bonnie. Love her.
But that's it little ones. More to come I assure you. Disneyland is already shaping out to be very interesting. The people just never cease to amaze me!
