Raindrops keep falling on my head

So yesterday was a day that I feel needs to be shared with all of you. It rained almost constantly all day yesterday. When I asked a roaming Custodial Cast Member if he knew the forecast at the start of my day he said to me, "Rain, rain, heavier rain, more rain, and end the day with some drizzles of rain." Needless to say the Custodial Cast Members around the Seas usually have pretty good senses of humor. So I slapped on the Disney issued rain gear (a see through rain jacket made of similar material to the $7 ponchos they sell) and headed out into the rain when my turn came, which was three hours out of my eleven hour shift (that's a good bit when there are about ten positions in the Seas and you spend an hour at each one).

To my surprise, the rain put me into an arguably better mood. Most Guests I came across where nicer to me than usual, probably because we have to stand in the rain while they just run from attraction to attraction. One man even came up to me and the manager who had come to talk to me outside and said "I just wanted to thank y'all for standing out in the rain for us. I know it's probably not what you want to be doing, so I thought I would come over and say thanks." Ashby (the aforementioned manager) said that he had never had that happen to him before.

Another highlight of the day was when a Guest came up to me and asked where he could find the Michael Jackson 3D movie, Captain Eo. I was very excited at this question, and I was devastated to inform him that the show had not been at WDW in approximately 15 years. He was quite heartbroken, but was quite pleased when I told him he could find the whole thing on YouTube and that it was being brought back to Disneyland this month.

Now the last highlight of the day will require some knowledge of both Lady Gaga and Jersey Shore, even though I am fairly opposed to the latter. I saw a girl yesterday that I laughed really hard about later. My first impression when I saw her was guidette. She was definitely taking fashion pointers from Snooki from Jersey Shore (think Ed Hardy and fairly short shorts), and homegirl was definitely wearing a Bumpit. That's right, a Bumpit. And then she turned her head to call her similarly dressed friend. Omgeez, she had tied her hair in a bow. She had a legit bow of hair about the size of my hand on her head. For a visual, imagine putting these two hairstyles together. You can imagine the hilarity, and for those of you who know, the urge to fist pump.

Alas, not every Guest can be so entertaining thought provoking. As it is pouring again. I'm hoping it will once again be a fairly entertaining day.
