I've been a bad, bad, blogger

I'm so sorry folks. I'm a really bad blogger, and I didn't realize that I would be upon my undertaking of this blog. So I apologize if you or anyone else you may know has lost faith in my blogging motivation and followthrough.

The last few weeks have been pretty hectic, yet at the same time seemingly routine. Days at The Seas kind of flow by, water pun completely intended. We rotate between all the possible positions with a couple of breaks here or there. My favorite positions have ended up being in the theatre at Turtle Talk and being outside as the greeter at the entrance of the Pavilion. I get to talk to guests at both, albeit through a turtle at the first position. The only true downfall of the Seas in my opinion is these guys.

If you've seen Finding Nemo, you'll recognize these birds. I'll admit that they were funny in the movie and still quite hilarious the first time I visited the ride. However, hearing them for the solid hour that you're standing outside, and hearing the impressions of them that tourists yell at the top of their lungs and find so hilarious and amusing, can be a little rough, especially on a day like yesterday when I was outside for three hours of my 12 hour shift. Luckily, they're quite easy to drown out, that is until a Guest asks how annoying those birds must be. So thank you tourists, for reminding all the Seas Cast Members of those little friends of ours which we work so hard to ignore.

So it's been a pretty good, yet tiring, couple of weeks. Last night's 12 hour shift (with a respiratory infection I might add) has been part of a 45 hour week, which has been about the normal work schedule for me since I've started working. The days really do run quite the same, which I guess I never thought about when starting this program. Now I'm not saying that I'm bored, not enjoying myself, or would rather be anywhere else, because those statements definitely are not true. While I'll admit that The Seas is not where I envisioned myself working when I received my invitation, I really am truly happy about where I work and the people I see everyday. They've all been very helpful and supportive of me as a start my time as a Walt Disney World Cast Member. Even though it does get quite repetitive being asked about the whereabouts of Soarin', the restrooms, or the nearest smoking area, or how many miles a day I walk on the Load and Unload belts, there really is nothing I would rather be doing right now than working at Disney World.

I apologize once again for the delay in this post, and I hope you can forgive me in my tardiness. Now you can all be assured that I am here, doing well, and fully available for a visit from you.
