I went to the PC to do Hoedown again yesterday. I helped with Splash too which was fun because it was a different girl than I usually help, so we were talking the whole time. And when MiSiCi got there we helped them unload too. Then I built up the bears for Hoedown, then headed back to the Character Room for lunch. After that, I went to soil. I stayed there for a while like usual. My coordinator sent me on a run after a couple hours. We had to go pick up some Z-racks from the Town Square Theatre which didn't take long at all. Then it was back to Soil and helping put away stuff from the Hang Dry room. Same old same old.
That's all the magic for today.

Time in: 5:00 p.m.
Time out: 1:30 a.m.
Yesterday was a glorious ride in the front seat of the hot mess express. It sucked. I think it was mainly because my coordinator has taken to talking to me as if I'm intellectually disabled and can't function. She literally read this paper aloud to me while pointing at words as if I couldn't read. It was so frustrating.
Anyways, I started out doing my line assignment and building Mickey and Minnie outfits. It took me no time at all because they are the easiest. Everything else on my line assignment didn't need to be done so I asked my coordinator Jackie what she needed me to do. She put me at the issue counter because she was going to show the other girl who was there how to do something else. So I manned the issue counter and put away basics. I ended up being there quite some time because the girl's replacement went with the runner to learn different locations we have to make runs to. So when the next person finally got up to the issue counter, I had already missed something important on my track. My coordinator came over to me and asked to physically see my track and told me, quite cheekily, "Zoe. You're supposed to be in soil right. I'm going to need you to go to soil, okay?" As if I had just stayed up there for the fun of it! It was so rude. So I went back to soil and was afraid to go do the assignment on my track that I had missed because if Jackie came to soil and I wasn't there, I'm sure it would have been a problem. But I ended up getting another girl to cover soil for me and I ran quickly to grab the band laundry and sort it all out. It ended up being fine, but it was extremely aggravating.
After lunch, I went back to soil. The performers were coming back really late tonight because they extended the Magic Kingdom hours until 12:00. So I had to be there until 1:30 with just Jackie and another girl that Jackie is really rude to. It was awkward, to say the least. But we got everything done and then helped the girl working on Fairies so she wouldn't be there too late by herself. Then I was done. It was an easy day based on my work load, but so stressful and I left very ready to never go back again.
That's all the magic for today.

Today at work was pretty much the same. I started off doing my line assignment which was to check the fairies' and Aurora's outfits as well as tidy all the shoe shells through the whole room. Then I built a couple of outfits for Marie (from The Aristocats) and helped my co-worker friend with Belle's petticoats. There's a part of it that has like a hundred snaps on it and I love to do that part, I have no idea why. Then I went to the issue counter to man the phone. While up there I folded and put away a bunch of basics, which are the t-shirt and shorts or sweatpants that performers wear under their costumes. We have tons of them. Then I went to lunch and when I got back I went to help in Soil for the rest of the day. Same old same old.
That's all the magic for today!

My track today consisted of first helping put away the clean
laundry from NSA (the big laundry place) and then building a bunch of
petticoats. I built Cinderella’s, Belle’s and Tiana’s today. Then I helped put
away a bunch of clean clothes from the Hang Dry room then helping out in Soil,
sorting dirty clothes, spraying sanitizer in shoes and headpieces, and then
putting them away. Then after my lunch break I spent some time organizing the
drawers on the Accessory wall. That’s starting to become my favorite way to
pass time because I love to organize. After that I built some more petticoats,
put away more clothes from Hang Dry, and helped out in soil again. It’s all pretty
repetitive activities in the Character Room.
That’s all the magic for today!

Today in the Character Room was the same but different. I put away parts of the Evil Stepsisters and Lady Tremaine's (Cinderella's step-mother) outfits for a little bit. Then my coordinator sent me to make some of Cinderella's and Belle's petticoats. She had me teach a newer boy how to do it since he hadn't learned yet. It felt really weird to be teaching in that atmosphere since I'm brand new myself! But it was also cool, because I actually knew what I was talking about. I realized I know much more than I thought I did, which was a neat surprise. We did that for a while and then I went back to Hang Dry and put away a bunch of stuff. That took a while and then I hung out in Soil until we got our morning rush. That's starting to be my favorite place because I actually get to talk to performers and people outside costuming so I don't feel like I'm stuck in a cave so much. However, I am starting to really like the older ladies I work with. I finally feel comfortable enough to joke around with them which makes work a lot more fun. Then after I lunch I went back to Soil and stayed there pretty much the rest of the day. I'm learning to not look at the clock and have a slower pace, so my days don't feel as long anymore. Things are getting better, I guess. I think I'm just learning how to deal with my surroundings now. I'm hoping I get my new assignment soon though! Because the boy that I came in and trained with just saw his new job on his schedule. So hopefully I get to learn my new location soon!

Today I started out by putting away all the clean laundry from NSA (the big laundry place). I've learned that I have to go against all my instincts and work slowly in order for the time to pass easier. There's not ever a lot of stuff to do in the character room, at least not a lot that has to be done at the same time, so by acquiring a slower pace my tasks seem to take longer. It's been helping make the days go by easier. So I helped put NSA away, then I built a whole bunch of petticoats for Cinderella. Hers are the easiest to build. Then I helped in the back in Hang Dry by, of course, putting stuff away. That's all my job consists of these days. I helped in Soil for just a little bit and then went to lunch.
After lunch I spent some time organizing the accessory wall. My organizational OCD was in Heaven. Then I had to help build Belle's new petticoats and it was so hard! Hers are brand new and have like five pieces. I've never done it before so it was a pain in the butt. Then I built a bunch of outfits for Mickey and Minnie for a while and ended my day helping in Soil.

Time in: 4:30 p.m.
Time out: 12:30 a.m.
Right when I got there yesterday I was sent to the PC again to help with the Hoedown characters. They didn't go out to meet and greet so I didn't have to wash everything again, I just had to put away the dry pieces and build extra outfits for each of them. It took me no time at all so I ended up helping another girl do the Splash characters (Woody and Jessie). We had to re-set them for the next day and wash all their dirty laundry. Then we took the long way back to the character room to waste time because we got done extremely early. Once there, my coordinator sent me straight to the Soil station and I stayed there for the rest of the night. At one point we got bombarded with performers and the place exploded. I mean, seriously exploded. There were shoes piled up five to a stack. It was ridiculous. It took us most of the night to recover from it and by the end I was exhausted.
