automaticable

I want to formally apologize to all loyal readers of Automaticable for my lack of post last week.  It’s been a very crazy past couple weeks for me with lots of work, very little down time and crazy parties that last ’till all hours of the night I just haven’t found time to sit down and just be able to collect my thoughts.  I’m in the process of trying to remember things, and really, all that’s coming up is a giant blur. I know on my days off I went to Blizzard Beach and had a blast.  There were next to no lines for any of the slides, so I was able to do the entire park with my roommate in under 3 hours.  It’s nice being a Disney cast member because you get free admission to just about everything, and when you tell people that you’re a cast member, you notice their eyes light up in a special way that you don’t really see in many other cases.  Immediately following this you’re bombarded with questions about the parks, your job, your experience and how many Mickey’s are there?  (There’s only 1 by the way)

The other days were all work days, and there was either a softball game, soccer game, or some sort of dance competition going on where they stuck me in the Stocker position.  Being a stocker you do exactly that, stock.  You make sure that the stand, and possibly surrounding stands, have completely full stock, and if they’re running out, you have to go get it.  The only problem with this is you’re either stuck at a stand completely too far away from the stocking kitchen, or stuck at a stand where people only tell you one thing at a time, so you’re running back and forth to a kitchen all day.  That’s all I’m going to complain about with that, because frankly? I love my job.

I would much rather be working at the Wide World of Sports any day then one of the main theme parks because last week I was stuck at Hollywood Studios (formally MGM) for a day, and I was kicking myself in the ass because of how difficult the job was.  I give major props to all the concessions people in the main parks because of how many people they have to deal with on a regular basis, as well as dealing with the stress of doing no less than four things at a time.  I have to work there again tomorrow and possibly wednesday (I’m trying to get it off because I have class earlier that day and won’t have time between class and work).

So, tonight I made enchiladas for dinner and, basically, they were very delicious to say the least.  I fed about 8 people with them and each and every one of them all agreed that I need to cook for them more often.  I tried a few new things with it that I haven’t tried before, like using a canned Enchilada sauce than just making it from scratch, as well as adding a few spices in there that I’ve never thought of putting in there.  All in all, I was very pleased with how they turned out.

Again, I wish to apologize to you all for the late update, but trust me, you’ll get another one by Sunday morning!  Enjoy the snow Chicago!
