As an employer I can only tell you that it gets worse.

Ugh. I gave them these instructions verbally and in a written form. This is just part 2 of my frustration with group projects today. Today I had a group meeting for another class. I had to explain a function on Microsoft word in spite of the fact that we were all required to take two courses on Microsoft office. One group member said that he wanted to get the meeting done and over with as quickly as possible (professor gave us off class today to meet in groups). To which I said that it would take as long it would take.

I told the guy who sent me the Word document to redo it. Either he'll do in without complaining, or he'll complain that I made him redo it. To which I say: I do the most work. If you feel like dealing with all the stuff that I have to deal with, including figuring out what direction to take the PowerPoint, formatting, making sure that everyone else is on top of stuff, fixing slides for spelling and grammar, in addition to doing the same amount of slides that you do, then you can do it. Otherwise, just do your part correctly and make it easier for me.

Voted....yeah. It disappoints me that majority of Americans don't vote and the majority who votes don't care to look up candidates. But here is to half of the people I voted for losing today.

I'm really just sick of all the nastiness with this election. I've never seen a Maryland election that has gotten this nasty. I don't even think that some of the political ads I've seen while in Florida have been this nasty. Just ready for it to be over for that reason alone.

Interesting election, though. For the first time in a long time, the race for governor is a toss up. Normally it's obvious. This time, not so much

Providence might elect a convict today. (again)

The governor's race here is 5 people. But the way the news is only 2 people are running. No room for third parties to move in.

Bad Disney Maintenance. You'd think somebody would fix this.

Okay, guess:

Spoiler: Hint:

Didn't this used to be (maybe still is) Spirit's avatar?

 

[FutureCEO]

Don't get stuck on the ride like we did!

Uni has The Leaky Cauldron, DHS has The Leaky Hydrant.

Everyone in my group has been the rebel spy at some point. My brother has been the rebel spy multiple times. Star Tours was the first ride of the trip last January, and my Bestie was the rebel spy. It was a great way to start off the trip. There was also this one time where we were stuck there in the middle of a downpour and just kept riding it over and over and over...

No one in our group has ever been the rebel spy! Would love for that to happen.

I used to not have any problem with motion sickness on simulated rides... after I turned 30 (that was a while ago), it was a whole new ball game. Getting older stinks, but I always say it's better than the alternative.

After Tammy and I did the Frozen Sing-along (standing room, ugh!), Hubby and I went on ToT.
Then I went on ToT by myself.
We all hit VotLM, and then exited the park.

These two are now snoring away, with instructions for me to wake them up in 20 minutes.

Just gonna point out here - I'm the last one to bed (by far), the first one up, the only one to ride ALL the attractions today, the oldest member of the bunch ... and I'm still going.
Just imagine me at @Goofyernmost's age. I'll be freakin' unstoppable.

Coming up - lobster (and steak again!) at Narcoossee's tonight.
Want pics?

 

[JenniferS]

Still is.

We came walking out of Star Tours and I spotted it.
I thought, "Hey, I've seen this somewhere before".

Mike and Tammy couldn't figure out why I stopped to take a pic.

 

[MinnieM123]

Same here. It works for us so we use it. With any leftover snack credits, we bring stuff home.

Just curious . . . what can you bring home? All I see is regular meal food; do they wrap up something for you to take along for the plane ride home? I've never done a meal plan; I'm just trying to figure out how you take food home from a meal plan.

 

[MinnieM123]

In line for the Frozen Sing-along.
Hubby says he is NOT coming in, but will keep us company in line.

Meanwhile, my thoughts on the Poly refurb.
Inside looks better than I thought. The corridors are wider than they appear in pics.
Outside however, is a ****** mess!

Hubby took some over the wall photos, I did some through the fence, and then I took off my shoes and walked across the beach to get you some hut photos.
Enjoy:

22 huts - 1800 sq. ft. Price - out of my league, I'm sure!

And if we ever realize our dream of staying at the Poly, Hubby is going to spend a lot of time ducking.
Walking through the halls, his head almost touched the ceiling, and he had to duck through every door way and under every sign.

I gave you a "like" for taking all those pictures and sharing them with us. However, I didn't like what I saw.

My daughter's been the Spy a handful of times, me never. The last time we were at DHS she was chosen, helps the weather was cold and carppy late at night and we were two of six people riding Star Tours.

Brekkie looked outstanding! Oh my--TONGA TOAST!!!!!!!!!!! (Everything else looked delicious,too.) In the French coffee press, was that Kona coffee? It's been a long time since I had real Kona coffee.

You can use your snack credits on basically anything snackwise from the resort's gift shop or QS. Our last trip we got stuff from Karamell Kuche and Les Halles Bakery to bring home. We also used a last credit to grab a sub and chips from the resort's QS because we knew we would be boarding our plane around dinner time and didn't want to pay airport prices.

I went after work, and it's only about 15 mins. from the bus stop to the polling place, so it's convenient. Got home about 1/2 hour ago. There seemed to be more people voting today; usually at night when I go, it's not crowded. It was still quick in my ward/precinct, but I notice another ward/precinct had about 25 people in line. We have a governor's race in MA, and I guess that's why a bigger turnout of voters. I usually vote for the lesser of two evils!

Oh, that's a nice perk. i never knew you could do things like that with the meal plan. The times that I've stayed at actual WDW hotels (not the Swan or Dolphin), I never got the meal plan because it just seemed like too much food. Also, when it's hot outside, my appetite is less. All I want is ice cream!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Forgot to add, the snack credits can be used on Pez dispensers at the resort QS and my daughter got Belle, Rapunzel and Darth Vader.
