And you are popular enough to merit Fastpass! Why do I feel like I'm insulting you when I say that? No offense intended.

Hey, we've all got to be good at something.

 

[bluedevilinaz]

Seems like quite a bit has been going on from what I've bee seeing. Of douse I've been away for what seems like two weeks. Too much stress and pressure, I guess. And today wasn't any better. I'll elaborate more when I get home.

Yeah there has been a lot going on. haha. Aww I'm sorry to hear that. :/ Keep your head up. Keep in mind things could always be worse and they will always get better.

Fastpass trip down In Your Pants Lane.

Love it! That's this weekend's chat up line sorted anyway!!

Hmmmm.... and how much themeing do we miss in the Fastpass Queue vs. the standby queue? I wonder if it's one of those attractions where you should do the regular line at least once to get the full experience before you fast pass it.

It might be one of those rides where it's worth running straight from rope drop and seeing how many regular lines you can go through before the fastpass becomes an issue?!

So, I went on the date. He emailed me and asked me to meet him at the mall. Then he changed the venue and wanted to meet at TGIFridays. That was fine with me because they have booze at Fridays. So I said I was getting ready and I would be there by the original meeting time. So he sent me a few texts to hurry up because he had something he had to do and I offered to reschedule. He declined.

So I showed up and he was there, obviously a few drinks in. I avoided talking about my career until he asked. I told him what I did for a living and then he decided to confess that he was about to be sentenced to probation for sale/possession/distribution/,etc. all relating to about 1/4lb. of THC found in this car. Well, it went down hill from there.

I, of course, ordered myself a $14 margarita made with patron that he decided to pay for after I already had my credit card out. He insisted and wouldn't let me pay. I offered to buy the next round. When that time came, he declined again. I was afraid I knew where this was going.

The date is coming to an end and he asks if he can see my car because "you can tell a lot about a person from their car". I declined. So we are outside the restaurant and he points out his POS as if I am supposed to be impressed. He has a garter hanging from the rear view mirror, which I did not notice at first, and then he says, "don't ask". So, I didn't, but he proceeds to tell me anyway. He continued with the story as I must have looked interested. If I did in fact look interested it was because I was trying to figure out how I could be less interested.

Then he reveals he has a son with some severe medical issues, which wasn't a problem for me because this was a date, not a marriage. Then, he rounds out this rather deep conversation with the question, "so do you want to make out?"

Um... no. No, I definitely do not want to do that. I offered to go out with him to get to know him better and then maybe that would be something I would want to do, but then omw home I got a text message with him telling me he didn't feel we would be compatible. AKA: He was looking for sex and went home alone and $28+ tip poorer.

What a creep.

so one more frog avoided! see if you hang out with us, at least you know we will entertain you and we won't creep you out AND we have our own personal bartender (oops sorry, painter/bartender). that's one of those dates that you pray for the phone to ring and you have to leave...

NEW POR ROOMS ANNOUNCED

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/the-...princess-hotel-rooms-20110425,0,6470887.story

Disney says it plans to transform about a quarter of the 2,000 rooms in the "Riverside" section of Disney's Port Orleans Resort into "Royal Rooms." Billed as rooms that the princesses themselves have stayed in during vacations, they will include many nods to the animated heroines, from bathroom faucets in the shape of Aladdin's genie lamp to the footstool that came to life as a dog in Beauty in the Beast.

It's a concept Disney has dubbed "storybook" hotel rooms — rooms that are more lavishly themed than conventional hotel rooms and are devoted to key company franchises. The company previously converted a wing of rooms in Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort to a pirates theme, and those have proven so popular that the resort has been able to charge a $30-a-night premium for them.

Disney says the 512 Royal Rooms will open to guests in February or March of next year. They will debut the same year that Disney World begins opening a multiyear expansion of the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland section, in which central additions will be based on The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves — all princess movies.

Glad the board could provide you with a great weekend chat whilst you are chilling. . .lol.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Okay folks. . .today was an "interesting" day at work. Probably one of the most smoooooth days at work. No rough edges at all. Sometimes I am amazed about how wonderful it is to work with the people I do. They are awesome.

I am sooooooo excited because this weekend is filled to the brim with stuff. The NE Divas will be in town, another couple friends will be in town, and even though I am on call over the weekend, I will still have TONS of fun going on. I will be off work (after my weekend call) till Thursday because I cannot imagine working at all during all this fun. Its days like today that I am sooooo glad I moved here. I don't like my pay, but my rewards (spiritual, physical, emotional, mental) are over the top.

 

[ctnurse]

Well after thinking that I would have an easy day, I get to work only to find out they have put a new nurse with me. So instead of my easy day I had to be on my best behavior,which is not easy for me. It also meant no checking of DIS or FB during the day. It seems like I missed some fun today.

Darlin, please stop teaching the newbies how to behave. . .its just horrid that I can't get any of them to have fun. . .lol. Anyway, truthfully, I know what you are saying here. . .

Yeah there has been a lot going on. haha. Aww I'm sorry to hear that. :/ Keep your head up. Keep in mind things could always be worse and they will always get better.

Well it has been a hassle. My next to last post says it all. I'm wanting to keep my regular hours, but that has some overtime added to it and my my supervisor is keeping a close eye on that. Luckily, the guy I work with is helping me out by giving me plausible reasons for me to come in early and get some work done. This morning was a great example as I got a call from one of my co-workers last night urging me to come in early this morning to deal with a "little" problem. Apparently one of the sprinklers in the warehouse got busted up badly and started flooding up the warehouse. Ruined several parts in that particular area (not a good thing for inventory as water can ruin metal car parts and develop rust.) So I spent the morning doing a heck of a clean up job. It's not easy getting water from underneath the bottom of flooded shelves. Needless to say, the overtime was very necessary, but it's left me worn out and tired from the day.

Hope everyone's day was more fun-filled than mine.

Spent 20 years in Redondo. I love it there. Its costly though.

I spent some amazing summers at Redondo Beach!

Hi SSC peeps Just dropping in to say hi and let you all know I'm having a fantastic holiday in England. The weather has been gorgeous, although today was a bit chilly. Really enjoying myself, and glad I have as much time left as I've already spent. I have to pay for internet and charge my laptop in the car, so I probably won't be on again until I get back. I can hardly wait to see how many pages I need to read then

It's amazing how addictive this group really is. Even with an international vacation during royal Wedding festivities, people need to check in with the group.

The sad thing is I have been checking the board but I just don't know what to say. I am at a loss for words. . .ROFLMAO.

Wow! We made Darcy speachless??!

I'm not sure how i feel about this. How much do you want to bet they'll convert rooms in the Mansion part of the resort exclusively? Which makes me wonder how many "original" rooms will remain if they take that section of the resort and are converting 1/4 of the overall capacity. Hmmmmm....

Na, you just got to enjoy the fun more when you don't have to jump back into work.

 

[bluedevilinaz]

Speak for yourself. I've been known to be creepy.

Yeah I saw that. At least they're just cutting back on the OT and not cutting anyone's job. That'd be even worse. Yikes! water+metal car parts=no bueno! That can definitely cause issues if everything doesn't get dried well enough. Hope you guys didn't lose too much. That definitely isn't an easy task, especially if they're full of parts.

Mine consisted of playing chauffeur for my roommates so they could get to work. Thankfully that ends this week since my one roommate got paid and can finally get his car registered. Other than that I went and saw Louie Anderson with my 2nd cousins so nothing too exiting happened today.

Redondo, Manhattan and Hermosa. . .Tri City Beaches. . .the love of my life. . .too bad its sooooo expensive. And, I actually have a life here now. . .ROFLMAO.

Okay, don't get too used to be being speechless. . .lol

As for the rooms. . .I am with you. The mansion section of the resort is my favorite. If they convert all - or nearly all - buildings to these rooms, it will just mean they can generate more revenue for the rooms and I will be missing my fave resort. POR is one of my favorite places.

Speak for yourself. I've been known to be creepy.

ROFLMAO. . .Well, that is good to know. . .lol.

Stay away for a few days and it's hard to catch up. even multi-quotes don't help. Dates gone bad and new fast-pass attractions..... And Darcy speechless.

Down to single digits! Looking forward to some nice weather, although it has become quite nice here lately. Especially when they predict cloudy and rain and it turns into a nice sunny day. Spent a day in the city, went to the auto show and then attended a bash for Ron Paul. Thanks to offsides' tip I have a new must-do in the city, a side trip up to Levain for some of those amazing cookies. And speaking of sweets, looking forward to a Dolewhip!

Good morning to my favorite thread of folk... I am down to my last three days of work, and four until I can hopefully flirt my way onto a seat on Sunday's flight.

So, what are you beautiful people up to today ?

Not a whole lot... Boss is treating everybody to lunch today at noon, and someone linked me a book that they said I had to read.

It looks interesting... so now I get to read it. (it's also available in printed edition and many ebook formats.... )

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, I beg of you...

Someone keep me company today. I am bored off my face. My census is somewhere in the teens, meaning I have no patients, just charts to review.
