Ah! One of my close friends works for The Mouse as well. She works the carousel and the princess picture area in Magic Kingdom <3 Hello neighbor!
Ahha! Yes, The Mouse is Disney. I work for the Vacation Club division in their corporate office. Though I suppose The Mouse could very well be the name of a computer place!

I suppose this gives a pretty good idea of what I go through most days: I live on the other side of the world (and therefore am 'bored at work' when most of you are resting), it's almost midnight right now, and I switch screens periodically between FFXIV and my Internet browser to source for 1200-word long articles to torture my students with for their mid-year examinations.Â
I also have to contend with kids who write things like this:
Quote:For instance, you cannot expect a man with a height of 6"9 to mend a button on clothes with his huge hand, which a woman can perfectly achieve.

I feel for all of you programmer and government people. I worked for Medicaid in GA on a system older than myself... I wanted to hug a state programmer every time they told us we were getting a new feature or our older than dirt system would not be able to link up with a brand new system some random company put out. I truly wanted to send them chocolates or something because as big of a pain as it was to work with on my end I can only imagine the chaos and frustration on theirs. So *hugs* to all of the programmers, help deskers and government employees who are still having to go through all of this on a daily basis.

Not working, but...
Visiting a nearby cafe and studying for an upcoming calculus exam on tuesday. Whoo.
Listening to Liars while I study. Pretty good stuff.

I worked at Discovery Cove for a summer. People there were bad too (If I never see a speedo again I will die happy
) but not anywhere near as bad as the tour groups that go though the different theme parks >.< 90% of tour groups are rude, loud, obnoxious, and think they can do whatever they please *sigh* <plastered grin> "happiest place on earth!" <sarcastic thumbs up>

I work accommodations for a resort in New York. One lady who I always seem to get has the last name of "Dimento"
It's hard to not giggle inwardly when I'm speaking to someone who has a name like a comic book villain.
"I'll be happy to help you, Mrs. Dimento."
...I'm such a child. XD

I don't work, I study, does that count?Â
It's not easy, it's frustrating, there is crying and hair pulling, head slamming and self slapping, there are expectations and competition, Â it makes you want to sometimes jump off the roof, or unleash your parrots on the world and laugh diabolically! ...actually, scratch that parrot part.Â
It counts, right?? Does it count?Â

It absolutely counts, for sure. It's real-life tedium that makes you want to load yourself into a cannon in a chum outfit and fire yourself into a pool of sharks.
It counts.

Could be worse. I could be without Internet.

I work at a job where it'd be basically impossible to work without access to the Internet. Of course, they could also just go through and block everything they don't want us to have access to... but that's a lot of pages to blacklist.
Though, they DID block off YouTube for a bit. That got rescinded, probably because looking up "how to" videos and such is such a useful benefit against folks who use it to listen to music or watch clips of stuff during their lunch break.
