Wocka Wocka.

I am working at Muppetvision 3D in Dinsey's Hollywood Studios. My life has been transformed from "laid back, sarcastic artsy girl who sings a lot" to "super busy, super happy and kinda helpful disney employee... who sings a lot. and complains about brazilian tour groups and rude guests when backstage with her fellow Muppety coworkers." 

but seriously, can we talk about these Brazilian tour groups?!! 

first off, i'll explain what it is i actually DO. everyone at muppets gets put into rotation, from greeter, to photocell (counting people, letting the wheelchairs in, answering questions and greeting) to preshow (spiel that no one listens to) to theatre (3 more spiels that no one listens to) to exit, where you collect and stack the used 3D classes to be cleaned- the most MUNDANE TASK IN THE WORLD. 

so today, because the computer system is just SO advanced (you'd think it really would be better at one of the biggest corporations in the world) i got stuck at photocell for literally 4 hours. at one point in time, around 2 pm, we had shows back to back at complete capacity. that theatre holds 584 people and it was FULL! Anyway, when there are like 150 seats and 6 minutes of loading left, i see the flag and the matching jackets, and hear the portugese singing of some song that i have no idea wtf it is.. and my heart sank a little. 150 LOUD ASS BRAzILIAN GIRLS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 14 AND 17 CAME THROUGH, and by the time they were all through and i had to put up the rope because we were at capacity, i was LITERALLY on the verge of a panic attack. here i am, trying to let the guests traveling in wheelchairs in and the make a wish kids with their parents and answering all these questions about where to find things and how long the show is, all the while having 150 completely obnoxious tweens walk by me chattering so damn loud i thought my head was going to explode.

and then my break came. thank God.

anyway, i don't really know where i was going with this, but other than the CRAzINESS i am having a total blast. after i got off work, i went and rode the rockin roller coaster by myself, then went and ate my lovely dinner of a hot dog, pretzel and coke while watching Fantasmic all by my little old lonesome self- and had the best time ever. i couldn't quit smiling. i'm sure i looked like a total creep to the families around me, but i really don't care. i'm so glad to be working at such a magical place, even though it gets crazy and hectic and cynicism-inducing much of the time. but the fireworks every night, and smiles on kids faces when i give them a sticker or when they run at FULL SPEED to hug Pluto or some other character just really makes all the long hours on my feet doing the same old thing totally worth it.

then again, i'm only saying this 2 weeks in. we'll see how i feel after the spring break rush. :)

on a side note, i think my 5 roommates might hate me. i'm never here to bond with them or whatever, wasn't for the first week because my mom was still here so in my free time i was helping her run errands and stuff- and quite honestly, i'd much rather hang out with her than have to go through the whole "gettin gto know you" process with 5 new people. luckily i like them and they all get along, so i really don't care how much i'm here, they can suckit. I don't have to answer to any of them, dammit! ha. reminds me of Jane all over again... oy. "where are yoouuuu, are you coming home tonight?!" ...none of your business, if i'm home i'm home and if i'm not, i'm not! agh!

sigh.

alright, theres my venty ranty happy blogginess for the day.
