My first assignment yesterday was to help in laundry. Laundry is a whole bunch of sorting, pairing, and hanging stuff up. I've been doing that my whole life, so it's pretty easy. I like being back there enough. It kills time, at least. then I went on a run to Ops with another lady named Nancy. Pretty easy, all we had to do was open the door for a guy. When I got back, I started my line assignment. I had to make a Stitch, a Space Pluto, 3 Tiggers, and 2 Circus Donald's. I went on two runs during this time, both were to Shade Control (where the parades start) to give ELP some supplies. Then I went on part of my lunch and when I came back they were having a track talk. We did this interesting thing though where we all went around looking for good and bad examples of the four keys. Then we shared them all out loud with each other and the manager. I guess management is going to actually listen to our opinions about what should be fixed and that's pretty nice. When we dispersed, everybody went back to Soil. The place had exploded. Our manager had called the track talk right in the middle of the busiest time for performers to drop off their costumes. Great planning on her part. So after we all tackled the craziness, I went and finished my lunch break. When I came back I was in soil the rest of the night.
That's all the magic for today!

First thing I did on Sunday was my line assignment. I had to build a few Mickeys and a few Minnies each of a few outfits. Then I straightened all the shoe shells in the room. After that I helped back in Soil for a while. I did the band's laundry (picked it up, sorted it, put it in a bag, and sent the rest to in-house laundry) then went to lunch. After lunch, straight back to laundry. Same old same old.
That's all the magic.

Yesterday was tons of fun in the Character Room!! I had the best people there with me, it was great. We secretively tried my friend Caitlin into a Minnie Magnifique dress which is way against the rules, pretty much. She fit though! It was hilarious. And then way later in the night when Sleeping Beauty was dropping off her costume she offered me a cupcake made from bananas and applesauce instead of eggs and oil. It was legitimately the best cupcake I've ever eaten in my whole life. We chased her down for the recipe, but she had already left. It was so sad. Then at the very end of the night we had a super spontaneous yet epic game of hide and go seek. We were simultaneously hiding from each other and from our coordinator. It was so funny.
Anyways, as for the work I did yesterday. When I got there I went straight to soil for a while. Then I was back in laundry for a long time which I don't mind anymore, time passes quickly there. Then I went to lunch really late, which I also like, and came back and helped in Soil. It's all pretty easy there now because I know what I'm doing in all the sections and I know how to help people that don't know. I love the feeling of knowing what I'm doing at work.

Yesterday was kind of weird. I was on fly team. It means that I was really only scheduled in case someone called out and they needed help, so I wasn't assigned an actual track. I just had to keep asking my coordinator what she needed me to do next and she'd send me on one job after another. I built a couple Tigger and Piglet outfits first. Then Captain Hook asked me a bunch of questions about his costume, so I stopped and helped him out for a while. I ended up being sent to the PC to pick up a new headpiece for him. When I came back I finished with Tigger and Piglet then was sent to Soil. I asked my manager if I could help the girl who was doing Buzz Lightyear when she left, and she said it was okay so I got to do that for the first time. It was cool. He has lots of parts you have to clean so it's tedious but he's one of my favorite characters so I was okay with it. When I came back from that I went to lunch and then got sent to Soil for a bit. By then I only had about an hour left so I just killed time helping in Soil and Laundry. My coordinator had me do a few Goofy outfits as well, but that only took about fifteen minutes. He's got one of the easiest outfits.

When I went in to work on Thursday I was completely expecting it to drag slowly by. It was my first day of five days in a row and these are my last five days in the Character Room for now until I switch to the MiSiCi Parade. I was fully expecting it to be torture. I walked in and my coordinator said to just ignore what my track sheet said because she was missing 3 people and she really just needed me to stay in laundry all day. I've never actually had to be in laundry before. I'm in Soil all the time, where I sort out the costumes and then send them to laundry, but my tracks have never been just laundry. The most amazing thing happened: time FLEW by!! I don't know if it was because being in laundry is so tedious and I always had something to do or if it was because I'd never done that specific job before and it was new. Whatever the reason, it was lovely. Every time I looked at the clock it was at least 20 minutes later, which never happens. I tend to look at the clock every five minutes normally. But, by the end of the night I was so surprised that the shift was over and I just skipped merrily along to clock out. It was lovely.

So I was on the Hoedown track again today but when my coordinator called the PC they didn't need help. Instead she just put me back in Soil for my entire shift. I didn't really mind it though. In fact I kind of liked it because I was back there all by myself and I did the whole thing my way. My coordinator came by a couple hours later and was super impressed at how on top of things I was. By the end of the night I was really bored, but that always happens. There's never enough to do to keep yourself busy for eight hours.

I had the Hoedown track again today but there was nothing at all to do for the bears so all I did was help the Splash girl. I know exactly what to do for Splash now. It's awesome. I love the feeling of actually knowing what I'm supposed to be doing. I could do that whole thing by myself. Then I walked back to the Character Room (I didn't get lost this time! Finally.) and went to lunch. Then I came back and helped in Soil again. Same old same old. Then I had to take out all the trash from the whole Character Room out to the dumpster. And then I helped Mrs. Pat in the laundry for about twenty minutes at the end, just to kill time. There are no longer any surprises when it comes to the Character Room.
On the bright side, I got my new skill assignment today! I start Thursday, March 7th at the Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! parade!!!! I am so excited!
