9/24/09 3 Day Wonder - Cruise Meets, and FEs, and Goombays oh my!

[m_kasch]

That's right, Karen, your interview!! Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!

My chattiness has all gone to my CPA studying. I just finished now (it's 11:30 here) so now i'm going to bed. I have to get up around 3:30 to go in to work. So much for sleep!! LOL!! My test is next Friday, but then as soon as I take that one I have to study for the next one. After that I have a little bit of a break, but I really want to study a lot before vacation so that I can limit my vacation studying. My head is swimming with things about Auditing right now, that I will probably never need to know again after I take this test!!

Steph, that sucks about your lip!! Lip injuries really hurt!! I get stress sores all the time from biting my lips, and they are painful!! It was especially bad in high school when I had braces and played the flute, lots of sores then from pressing on my lips with the braces. I hope it gets better soon!!

Donna, I kind of want to see The Orphan. I'm not great at scary movies, I usually end up going with my DSis and she has bruises on her arms afterwards, LOL!! The funny part is from the preview where they say "there's something wrong with Esther", we had this family friend, an older lady named Esther. She was really mean and opinionated, nobody really liked to see her except my Mom, who apparently was blind to her meanness...when Tim and I saw that preview, I was like, "no, there's something wrong with Esther?!?". I also really want to see the Ugly Truth!! It looks good, and I like Katherine Heigle or however you spell that.

Well, apparently my chattiness has returned!! I really do have to go to bed, we have this meeting at work in the morning and then i'm coming home early to study, and I have to do the same all day on Friday so that I can try and enjoy some time in Michigan this weekend!! Hopefully the weather cooperates!!

Happy Birthday Donna & Stacy!

I couldn't get on yesterday. I was at Hersheypark. It was me, Joe, my sister, her friend, my nephew, and my cousin. We drove up Tuesday night, stayed over, and went to the park all day yesterday and then drove back. I feel a little off today. I don't think my body can quite handle 8 roller coasters in the course of a day anymore! It was a great time though.

At least the ship in your ticker is doing what it's supposed to do, Lainey.

Welcome, portsofcall! My name is Jen and I'll be sailing with my boyfriend Joe. This will be our first Disney cruise. We're going to be getting to WDW on the 20th and then after the cruise, staying another two nights.

My trip is 52 days away!

 

[karentan]

sounds like you had good fun jenny!!

i went for that job interview yesterday, to be honest i dont think i'll get it. but i should hear either way within a week. i got the local newpaper today because thursday is the job pages, and there was like half a page. thats it. i think i'm going to have trouble getting a job..

it looks like gary will be going down to miami for a couple of days when we're in florida, his company is based there and his sales VP asked him to pop in if he's in the state. i think he's going to try and arrange it for the first 2 days we're there. that way it doesnt really interfere with any of the plans i've made, so i dont have to rearrange everything.
i actually dont mind him going because it gives me 2 days to explore on my own and i can go on all the good rides without feeling guilty about leaving him outside!

 

[jenny105]

Sorry to hear that, Karen. Why don't you think you'll get it?

Does Gary not go on rides??

 

[karentan]

nah he doesnt like anything that goes too fast!

not sure, the interview went ok, you know sometimes you just get the idea that it wont happen?

 

[jenny105]

When I interviewed with my boss, I thought for sure I wasn't going to get the job. She can be a bit stand-offish so I didn't really know what she thought of the interview. But I got it! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

 

[karentan]

thanks i just get the idea that i'm going to get a letter tomorrow saying "we regret to inform you..."

 

[jenny105]

You never know. You could get a phone call saying you got it!

 

[karentan]

but on the upside only 44 days til florida!! yay!!

 

[jenny105]

Jealous. I have 52.

 

[karentan]

56 til we cruise..... come on room assignments!! don't disney know we're impatient??!!

 

[jenny105]

I've had mine since I booked. They didn't have GTY rooms when I booked so I got cat 11. It was the same price anyway. I'm 7567.

 

[karentan]

when i booked, it was either going to be a cat 12 if/when they became available or nothing at all. we were only coming on the cruise if it was cheap enough!!

i know there's a few of us still on GTY rooms, i think its me, mary, stacy and steph for definate......

 

[jenny105]

I priced out a cat 12 after I booked and it came out to exactly what I paid for the cat 11. I don't know if it's because I booked so far in advance.

 

[karentan]

probably, they're quite cheap if you book well in advance, we paid $673 for our cruise for the 2 of us, its $200 more expensive now.....

 

[jenny105]

As long as I'm on that ship, I don't care what kind of cabin I have. They could put me in a closet for all I care!

 

[karentan]

yeah ditto, we booked a cat 12 and got a 9 last year, if we get a 12 this year, i dont really care, we weren't in the room much last time anyway. i just want to find out where my room is!!!

 

[jenny105]

When do they usually post the room numbers for cat 12s?

 

[karentan]

i think all the GTYs (regardless of category) normall get assigned at about 30 days out, i think we got ours around 35 last year, and recently apparently they've been coming out at about 45. so it should be soon with any luck!!
