Update. No originality whatsoever.

Long seater shift is long. Just thought I'd throw that out there. It was really boring, too, and my feet kinda hurt by the end of it. I sat some people from Woodstock, though, so that was really cool! My ear also started twinging occasionally. Almost fell asleep during movie night, so I decided to head home and hit the hay. Monday was popcorn cart day, and my ear was starting to bother me a little more than the previous day. Whatever, I did cash, counted out, and went to games night. We had a blast playing Things in a Box, and then I went home to sleep again. Tuesday was a Wal-Mart day, because I was running out of pretty much everything. I have now vowed that if I ever run out of milk and orange juice at the same time, I will only buy ONE at the store and suffer without the other for a week. I don't like carrying both, along with everything else I need, aaaaaaall the way back to my place. By dinnertime on Tuesday, I was in a lot of pain. So I called the clinic with the free transportation, only to find out that without a claims form for my insurance, it was going to cost me over $200 just for the visit, nevermind any medicine I might need. So there were lots of phone calls with Mom, a lot of stress, and me crying for a while from a mix of pain and stress and probably tiredness too. Because, see, I could get a claims form easily online, but I don't have a printer, and the ones in the computer lab and the clubhouse don't work. Then I took some advil and played The Sims and life was okay again. I stayed home from musicals night, though. Wednesday, more pain, so I eventually sucked it up and spent a couple hours in the clinic. I found out I had an ear infection in my inner ear AND my canal, so that was tons of fun and required two prescriptions. Joy. Thursday I called in sick to work because I was still in too much pain. I also ran out of advil that day, which was totally not cool.

Friday went okay, I guess. I was assigning on my own for the first time, so that was really nerve-wracking. Lunch was almost dead at points, despite that I kept taking walk-ins. Dinner was pretty much business as usual, with the lack of walk-ins, full dining room, and long wait list. I wasn't too late getting all-in, though, so no one was screaming at me at the end. I'll get better with practice, I hope. Saturday was a seating shift, and consisted of the normal mix of awesome people and crabby people. Also a lot of people in costume, considering it was Halloween. There was a group of adults at the end of the night with really awesome Disney costumes, and they were a lot of fun.

Sunday I was a trainer for the first time ever, which was really scary. It was worse because I was training on restaurant stocker, which you'll note I've done, like, twice since being trained. Thankfully my trainee was a re-hire, so she didn't require a lot of explanation for things. Hopefully I didn't screw up too badly. I mean, I totally would've been okay for training pretty much anything else because I've done everything else often enough (except greeter.... I never seem to be greeter, either). I wish I could've traded training shifts with Craig, since he was training seaters and that's what I do more than anything else I think. Movie night was Heather's pick, so we watched Evil Dead 2. So much fun! So much blood. So much cheesiness. I probably shouldn't have gone, since I had a service training class at 8 the next morning, but I wasn't tired at all and knew I wouldn't sleep anyway, so I sat there and watched bad 80s horror.

Service class was ....well, it was really boring and I kind of wanted to die. That may be a slight exaggeration. We sat there and got talked at by a very American old man about things that were really bloody obvious, and then watched videos that I think came from the 70s. And then he talked at us some more. In the afternoon, he talked at us about wine, and we peeled and ate grapes. No word of a lie. I think the only saving grace was that Craig (arrival group), Melissa, and Rob (not arrival group Rob, the other one) and I sat at the table together and kept each other awake. Mostly I think it was me being kept awake by watching Craig and Melissa torment each other in that awesome, best-friend way. I was still a little wired after class from the coffee I'd had, so Rob and I hopped over to do a few rides at Magic Kingdom. For some strange reason, it was really crowded. Then we came home and I pretty much collapsed on my bed. Eventually I was coherent enough to send a quick text to Craig to tell him I wasn't coming to games night, and then it was back to the collapsage.

And that brings me to now. My ear still feels a little off, but I'm not really in pain anymore, so that's good. I'm going to kick around for a while, do the laundry I haven't done for a week and a half, and then head over to Heather's place for Wicked tonight. I'm SO excited for this one! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Wicked, and Heather loves it even more than I do, so I imagine we'll scare everyone else sitting there.
