Peak, Pit, Praise, and Prayer

Trying something new. Well, new for your eyes. I keep a journal and every night (or when I remember) and I write down my peak, pit, praise, and prayer for the day. It forces me to find the good in what appeared to be a really crappy day and really makes me think about the day I had. Rather than do this for everyday in week 4 and 5 ill just sum up both weeks.

Week 4

Peak: One of Dad's work friends was in FL and took me out to lunch. Not someone that I personally am close with but being around people who I know for just a few hours was better than lunch in the apartment alone. A familiar face, and that Chicago accent, made for a great afternoon!

Pit: Valentine's Day. Need I say more? Worked all day, listened to coworkers complain about what they did/didn't get from their Valentine, and was surrounded by families and their loved ones. It was quite disgusting.

Praise: I was (and still am) employed by one of the greatest companies. Everyday I am blessed to be apart of people's lives, even in the tiniest of ways. The experience working for Disney World is something I will forever be grateful for.

Prayer: This week I prayed a lot for my brother Christian. That he would continue to shine on us and guide us through the dark times.

Week 5

Peak: There was a little girl in one of my Turtle Talk shows who Crush wanted to talk to. When asked where she was from she responded the United States, questionable as she had an English accent. Crush asked her where specifically and she didn't know. We then moved on to talk to said girl's Mom. Crush asked Mom to narrow down where she lived and Mom announced that they don't live in America and never have. They were from England.

Pit: Was ALMOST late to work one day. Don't ask me how or why. Just know that when the bus pulled up at 3:23 I somehow managed to clock in on time at 3:30 at a location that is on the other side of the park from the bus stop. Don't ask questions, just be proud.

Praise: I love my job, there is no question about it. So when it is recognized by a guest (my enthusiasm, attitude, whatever...) it feels good. But its even better when the boss notices :) This week I am thankful that my attitude was recognized by the boss-man.

Prayer: For everyone back home dealing with the weather, that it begins to get warmer for you all!


And that's a wrap on week 5. Tomorrow starts another 5 day stretch of work for week 6. This week I will #doitforCJ.

Kids peeing in bushes, Make A Wish, and adorable little kids.

Another week at The Seas has come and gone, which brings me one week closer to being home on the couch with my puppy. I challenge anyone to try and come between me and Budweiser, it won't happen. This week was full of adorable little kids, and not so adorable older little kids. In a turtle talk show this week, Crush asked a little girl where she was from (meaning where do you live) and out of the most adorable, probably 3 year old, mouth came "mommy and daddy". Wise beyond her years ;) Hysterical laughing overtook the theater that day. And in another not hysterically funny moment I had to ask a family to not allow their 7 year old son to "go" in the bushes. I wish I was lying, and I honestly wish he would have been more discrete about the situation so I wouldn't have had to address it. But no, this little boy stood on a ledge probably 4ft high, pulled down his pants and took care of business relieving himself. I don't understand people. On another ...

Nightmares

You know when you were little and a bad dream would wake you in the middle of the night your parents would comfort you and remind you it wasn't real and you would go back to sleep? In this bad dream... there is no comforting (because my parents aren't here, and I can guess they have a similar reoccurring dream at times) and it WAS real. The dream happened again last night.... Every so often I stir like crazy throughout the night as August 13th replays over and over in my dreams. I can picture pulling into the driveway after work, my phone ringing, it was the Doctor's office... the same doctor who would later that night deliver CJ.... the nurse was calling to tell me that everything at my yearly apt went well and they look forward to seeing me again. It didn't cross her mind that I was related to another patient of theirs and what I was about to walk into when I went inside. (I just realized this may be the first time I've shared this piece of t...

Let's get down to business....

Six weeks of Disney adventures in the books! Crazy! I got here in January and its MARCH! So lets get down to business about week 6. (Did you catch my Disney reference there?!) The wonderful last few days of Feb and first few days of March left me speechless. I wish I was kidding. I literally lost my voice Tuesday. And that's really where our week 6 story begins. Tuesday was chaos. Everything (well almost everything) that can happen in a building, happened at Nemo while I was there. An hour into the day we were explaining to guests that we couldn't find Crush, AKA Turtle Talk went down and maintenance was busy trying to solve the problem. This of course happens right before we are supposed to load the theater and have 210 people waiting to get in. That show gets delayed. Next show time rolls around, and we now have almost all 210 people still waiting, plus have people already lined up for the next show. We then announce that we are still in delay. Commence unhappy guests. I s...
