It's Inspection Time again and this time it's working a little bit differently. Remember last time I told you all about how we split up the duties fairly evenly and were able to get the white glove award? Yeah, it's not so cohesive this time.
It's not like they tell us more than a month ahead of time when our inspections are... this time our inspection happened to fall when one of the roommates was out of town and another has family in town. We also have a roommate who does absolutely nothing to contribute to the well-being of the apartment, so that left three of us to do a job meant for 6 people. Oh boy.
That being said, it's been an interesting time before inspections. With inspections tomorrow, my room is spotless, as is the living room and the kitchen. After that, it's beyond my control. I'm guessing we'll only pass, no white glove, but that's just me. Honestly, after all this cleaning, I'm really indifferent and just glad to have a clean apartment again.
Now, about work. Well, work is work. It's still happy always being at the happiest place on earth, but things are starting to fall more into a pattern. We've started doing the wonderful Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, and I absolutely love working the event. When I'm in upper I'm usually stocking, but it's still fun to see everyone's costumes and tell them Happy Halloween. When I'm in lower we play different games and pass out candy. There's this one great game we played that involved bending down a lot, and halfway through the night I realized I had pulled something in my upper leg... throughout the next few days it got stiffer until one day I couldn't sit without being in excruciating pain. Luckily, that was the worst day, and it got better after that.
We also had our 40th Anniversary on October 1st, and the park was PACKED. Seriously, there were lines everywhere, especially for merchandise. 'Tis the season for Pin Hunters... some people come and spend HUNDREDS, sometimes THOUSANDS of dollars on PINS. It's the limited editions (Halloween, Christmas, 40th Anniversary) and they're going like hot-cakes!
Did you know that at Disney, Christmas starts a week after Thanksgiving? Yup, my holidays are officially out of whack. Everyone keeps telling me Halloween hasn't happened yet and I just don't believe them.
We are officially in my favorite time of year. My birthday was this past Thursday (ewww, I'm old/23) and that signals the start of the rest of the year. There's Halloween and cool weather and Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping and then Christmastime! Seriously I LOVE this time of year.
I had to resist the urge to play my Glee Christmas Album this week. I WILL wait until at least Thanksgiving. I WILL wait. As for watching Love Actually, I hardly doubt I can hold off watching that... maybe I'll watch it this week. Probably... it's hard to watch it and not get in the Christmas mood though. Thoughts? Honestly, just watching Alan Rickman, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant is enough to make me happy =D
Oh! That reminds me, although I'm not sure why, this is also the season of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. I've been once already and it's quite good, but extremely filling. If there's one suggestion I can make this year it's to try the Apple Strudel. Not because I tried it, but because you'll regret it forever if you don't try it. Seriously, it will follow you everywhere.
I'm going again on Wednesday with my sister. And this time I'm gonna get the Apple Strudel.
Well, sleep calls. Here's to hoping the best for the rest of the year and this awesome season =D Who knows what might happen I guess =D
Til then, keep having faith in dreaming... one day your wish will come true (with hard work and perseverance, of course)
