zippitydodah27	10:32a	Work work work I'm at a crossroads with my Disney career right now. I'm still stuck in Fantasyland attractions (yay, button pushing...) and have been debating the pros of cons of either transferring to another department (characters) or moving to westside attractions. Namely Adventureland attractions since I know I would make a dandy Jungle Cruiser skipper. >=) Hell, when I worked on the Columbia sailing ship I turned it *into* a giant Jungle Cruise, or so my co-castmembers used to say. Ah, fond memories of Pokey the lobster, grey poupon jokes, yelling "Look, it's a drunk centipede!" at a passing canoe over the ship's PA system and getting all 210 tourists on board to yell ARRRGH and shake their fists at every single person we saw on the shore. Heheh. Then there was the 'martha the pet duck' incident... If I go to the character dept it'll be a whole new shindig with lots of paperwork and training to get out of the way. I'll also go to the bottom rung of seniority all over again, as is standard practice. Either way I'll lose some seniority. It will also endanger my vacation in Feb since the scheduling request for that week off will probably go poof when the transfer happens. I would only have to re-submit but that may not leave me enough time to make the deadline. Regardless, I'm very restless where I am and I want to find my finalized niche in the company. My assets as a castmember come to bear at their utmost when I'm in a role that makes a storyteller out of me and requires some acting. All I really do now is push buttons and lock lapbars. :( Secondly, my orthopedist has suggested that I get away from those buttons and lapbars since it causes occasional flareups of my old nemesis, Dequervain's tenosynovitis. I've gone through surgery and a lot of physical therapy/cortisone shots to correct it and I'm not keen on going through it again. There are plenty of attractions in the westside that have no lapbars and little to no buttons. Jungle Cruise is one of them. I guess I'm just venting here. The transfer process is rather tedious and calls for a lot of hoop jumping (yes, even if I'm just moving within the same department) and I don't look forward to it. I want it over with ASAP but common sense is telling me to wait until after my family vacation in Feb. Decisions decisions... (2 Comments |Comment on this)

zippitydodah27	10:03a	Swine flu See my icon? Three weeks ago the swimmer was me and the shark was the H1N1 flu virus. Oh yes, it got me. Now I can be a pretty cough cookie when it comes to being sick but that sonofabitch didn't just infect me, it PWND me. I haven't been that sick since I was a child with both the hand/foot/mouth disease and mono at the same time. Do. Not. Catch. This. It took me over like a microscopic horde of Mongolians and scaled the Great Wall of my immune system within 12 hours of exposure. Run away, run away! 103 temperatures, painful wet coughing fits so violent that they brought me to my knees, waves of nausea, severe head congestion that no decongestant medication could ease, headaches, complete loss of appetite (not that I couldn't stand to lose a few pounds, ha) teeth-chattering chills, aching chest, wheezy/grunting breathing, the works! I went days at a time without sleep thanks to that horrible cough. At 2 AM I would be curled up in a fetal position on the floor of the shower - in the dark - under the hottest spray I could stand just so the steam would ease my breathing. I almost lived in that shower since it was the only effective relief I could find. Anyway the doctor did get a positive throat/nose swab test and put me on Tamiflu (what a joke...90 bucks for ten pills that seemed to do nothing!) plus two different antibiotics because, according to him, it was 'trying' to turn into pneumonia. JOY. I didn't feel a whit better until fourteen days in and even after the symptoms were gone I still had to contend with total exhaustion. It took me three weeks to fully recover and I STILL have a lingering cough from time to time. But I'm going to be fine and dandy now so all's well that ends well. At least I can't catch it again, yes? I've just been innoculated the hard way. So yes, don't catch this bastard of a virus. Get your shot if it's available to you....and if you happen to see a live pig do me a favor and flip it the finger for me. The End Current Mood: accomplished (3 Comments |Comment on this)
