After training classes & such, I finally actually started one of my new jobs (driving for Mears) last night. (For those who don't know, the other job is at MK) What a night! I only work WDW property, so I know it pretty well, feel safe & get to hang out & watch fireworks & such from the cabstands. I was a nervous wreck when I first got there, but the other drivers calmed me down really quickly. I'm telling ya, the night shift drivers are AWESOME! I work from around 5pm-5am, so it's a grueling shift. Everyone was great about giving me pointers on where to be & when. I didn't get anyone lost in the middle of nowhere, either. I messed up a teeny bit once, but the people in the car felt bad for it being my first night & they just tipped me better. It wasn't a big screw up anyway, so I was relieved.
Down times were pretty cool, just hanging around & chatting with everyone, waiting on parks to close & such. The families I picked up were so appreciative of the stickers I gave the kids & they also loved the fact that I had some info & tips for them on Disney parks. I picked up a whole mess of foreigners from Downtown Disney that were quite drunk (at 2AM), but they were amusing as hell, so I couldn't complain. All in all, I had fun. This should be quite an interesting job! LOL
For those of you wanting to use the taxis here, even if I'm not working on the days you need, I'd be happy to recommend drivers. Getting taxis here is a hit or miss thing & it would be nice to help these guys get business while assuring you that you're dealing with a competent, safe, friendly driver, too. Just lemme know!
I had to leave here yesterday at 3:30 PM to get to work & just got home at 7AM (I hate the bus system), so I am COMPLETELY beat. I am going to bed now. Fortunately, they put me on a schedule that gives me the next 2 days off, so I can recuperate before jumping in for 5 days straight. WOOHOO!

. Okay delusional migrainish mood but sensitive to light not sound this time.. though it's making me sick to my stomach and not feel good .. which is bad.. so as soon as the class I have tonight is over i'm going to try to relax... I don't care what I have to resort to accomplish that relaxation!!! (if anyone has a good way to relax PLEASE share it with me cause I don't know how to relax very well and if I do tonight what I did last night I won't relax at all).
