So as a few of you may know... I have a blog. I forgot about it for a while and I am bringing in back! I will try to write something more meaningful and on a more scheduled basis. I feel that this way people can see what is going on in my life more. So, to start over on my blog, welcome to Sleepless Sam v 2.0!
A Day In The Life Of Me!
A quick recap - I am currently working at Walt Disney World Resort as a Custodian at Disney's Hollywood Studios. That is not the park with the Harry Potter stuff, different company... I am 23 years old and I have already graduated college. Southern Utah University with a Bachelors in Outdoor Recreation in Parks and Tourism. What will I do with that you may ask? Well, I will tell you! National Park Ranger, or Adventures by Disney Adventure Guide. Or both, why only pick one? So, now back to my day.
Each morning I have three alarms set. 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00. Call it overkill, I call it not oversleeping. I live in a two bedroom apartment on the second floor - with a porch! There are four guys in my apartment, and we don't talk that much so it's pretty quiet. I don't know why I set three alarms because I usually get up on or before the first one. I get up and eat breakfast and then waste time waiting until I have to work. This time wasting usually consists of perusing the social media hubs of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Follow me on all of them if you want - Sleepless_Sam. After I finally shower, I make my lunch which always consists of a PB&J, cheese crackers, a fruit of some sort, a Kool-aid Jammer, and a hostess type dessert, and this is all contained within a paper bag. Next is my commute to work!
I can either take the bus to work with other college kids working at Disney, or drive. I prefer the latter. The bus ride itself takes about 45 minutes with five stops, the fifth being Hollywood Studios. On said bus, I chat it up with the other Custodians or Ops Castmembers. and by chat it up, I mean that I usually try and get a quick nap in. Driving, on the other hand, gives me more time to waste in the morning because it takes 15 minutes to drive to work. So three other Custodians and I have started a carpooling system where we take turns driving. Look at us being all green and what not!
Once I am at work, I get my costume, or uniform to non-Disney workers, and wait to clock in. Once I clock in, I get my keys and radio and head out to my location for the day. This usually is a restroom or two, and on occasion I get to work in the streets in charge of the trash cans. For restrooms I just keep them well stocked and clean all day long. And for streets I walk around sweeping up trash and emptying trashcans. Some days this can make for a very long day. When it is time to clock out, I turn in my radio and keys, and clock out. I then will wait for the bus, or make the long exodus to my car across the parking lot.
After work is when things become a little less standard. I may just go home and straight to bed, or I might do things with friends and co-workers. Splitsville for pool and bowling, Raglan Road for late night food and Irish entertainment, Applebee's for half-price appetizers... Usually there is food involved if we are hanging out after work.
So that is a standard day in the life of me. Living the dream at Walt Disney World. So now I leave you all with the promise that will hopefully not be broken of more blogs closer to a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Until next time, have fun! And maybe I will come up with a witty tag line...
