Thanks for the warm welcome! I believe I will pull up a chair and settle down with a whiskey and coke. Honestly, I'll drink just about anything, but that's been calling my name lately.

So...I've just about talked myself into going to WDW next June for a few days. No reason, just because. Feel free to encourage me to make reservations...

You should definitely book your trip to WDW in June. I'll be visiting WDW in February for the half marathon but I will only be visiting Epcot during this short trip.

Back from WDW--trip extended two days because of weather problems. Darn.

Finished the marathon in just over 7 hours. It will probably be quite a while before I do *that* again. Half-marathon medals are just as shiny.

Hey CA Congrats on your successful run!!!

Hey CA Congrats on your successful run!!!

Thanks, DDave...thought of you as we were going past the golf courses.

Well it looks like i'm moving to 3rd shift in about a week for the foreseeable future. (couple months at least).


I'm not too sure how that's going to impact my DIS time, but it will definately impact the time of day when I'm normally active/online.


Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up.

that bites, unless of course you get a good shift differential and like working those hours..

Sadly i'm Salary, so no Shift dif. The bright side is it's also a 4x10 shift instead of a normal 5x8, so I end up basically getting an extra day off.

As for working those hours, I don't really mind it. Since I'm single i don't really have a lot holding me to any particular schedule one way or another, beyond my general hatred of mornings and crawling out of bed.

This doesn't affect your vacation does it?

OH HELL NO! i'm going!



The only real impact might be a bit more of a jet-lagged kinda feeling my first day or so while I adjust to daylight, but honestly, It may actually make it less stressful.

My flight down leaves on a Saturday at 6:59am from DC, so I was looking at about a 2hr drive (safely) to get to DC, plus the extra time to be there early for security/checking bags.... so realistically I was looking at having to leave my apt by 3:30am or so at the latest to be safe. Since my existing shift wouldn't have me getting off work until 8pm, and home until around 8:30, that didn't leave much time for last minute getting things together and sleep before having to leave.

Now since I'd be working a Sunday - Wednesday 11pm-10am shift, My last work day would be ending at 10am Thursday AM, giving me the rest of the day Thursday and all day Friday to adjust my sleep schedule and pack/get ready.

Hell... if I didn't have to worry about a change fee on my flight, book a hotel, and redo my car rental, I could even expand my vacation by another day. But alas.... it's just not worth the extra $$$ to make those changes.

Sounds like it would be.

I'm actually planning on hitting Universal and Citywalk the night I arrive. Discovered that not only is it Mardi Gras, so i can see the parade and enjoy the fun drinking/Beads atmosphere.... but Lynyrd Skynyrd is going to be in concert that night.

You gotta love hair mistakes. At least you couls just make it darker, its a bit hard to go the other way if you wanna go lighter

 

[Funball]

..lol well the thing is.. i was a blonde.. i had red highlights.. at xmas i wanted to "freshen " them...well that was not the thing to do, i had half a head of red hair! rflol

soo in order to cover up the much faded(but not faded enough) red, cause if i went blonde again it would of been pink, we went a brunnette color,with a hint of red!

 

[BrizMarc]

LOL, sounds like a right mess. At least your happy now

Nope.... Not really a Football fan.

If I watch a sport, I'd much rather watch Hockey. There's just something nice about a sport where if you have a beef with someone on the other team, you can beat the crap out of them during the game and only get a 5min time out.
