Continuing On

So my second day of work went okay. I was a Greeter, so the tablet we use to check in reservations took some getting used to, but I think I really enjoy the job. I get to talk to all the people who are coming to eat here as I check them in! The downside is, we're the #1 restaurant on Disney property, apparently, (we overtook Victoria & Albert's at the Grand Floridian, which is kind of a big deal because that's jacket-required, nose-in-the-air kind of dining) so anyone who didn't book a reservation 90-180 days in advance has to get told "I'm sorry, but we're fully booked." I've heard stories from people who've been trying to get into Le Cellier for years, so I guess we're kind of a big deal. I feel so bad for all the people we have to turn away every day, just because they didn't set their alarms for the crack of dawn right at the 90 day mark (which one woman told me she did, just so she could get those reservations) and stayed asleep like any sane person would.

Yesterday was my day off, so I spent some of the afternoon by the pool, because I feel like a china doll compared to everyone else down here. Then my legs started to burn, so I went back to the apartment, changed, and headed to Wal-Mart. Got new shoes for work, because the new ones I'd bought the day before had lost their treads between the bus stop and the restaurant. No, seriously. When I got to the break trailer to put my lunch in the fridge, I looked at my feet because I could feel something dragging, and there's the sole with the treads, just dangling by the toe on both shoes. That was a bit interesting. So yeah, got new shoes, picked up a few other things I needed (FRUIT!), and then headed back out to the bus stop, meeting up with Rob and Carolane, who had left a couple hours previous.

We'd talked about doing something last night, so then Rob called me and said a bunch of us were heading to the AMC theatre at Downtown Disney, so off we went to go see Love Happens (Jennifer Aniston). We were a pretty big group, probably at least a dozen of us, so it was a lot of fun. One of the girls had half a baguette she and another of the girls had bought earlier that day, so that was their movie snack. It was kind of hilarious just to watch them pull this baguette out of a bag and then tear pieces off to eat it. The movie was pretty good. I mean, everyone knows I'm not really one for chick flicks, so naturally I think it would have been better if something had blown up during the course of the plot, but it was alright for what it was. Mom, you should see it; I think you'd really like it.

And now it's off to Animal Kingdom in about an hour and a half with Carolane and Rob, neither of whom have ever seen Expedition: Everest, let alone been on it. This should be fun. *Insert giant trouble-making grin here* I'm evil, and I know it.
