Well...   
05:02pm 07/06/2007
  This morning, I was on break when Erin arrived on shift. As we waited to go onstage, I remarked, "One of two things has to happen today: either I will get a call from WDI, or we will have a nice long downtime." So we had a good laugh, waxing rhapsodic about a double six-shot.

So my shift went decently well; I was in a three-man rotation and my boats were okay, and my lunch came perfectly on time. I returned from lunch and got back into rotation. On my second trip around, I noticed something odd about Little Squirt. I kept it in mind all the way around the jungle (I'll often notice a show concern and forget about it by the time I reach the dock), and reported it to the lead as soon as I'd finished the required bits of my unload spiel. We took a deadhead to check it out, and discovered that we had a pretty big problem on our hands, so we had to go down to fix it. We were down for nearly two hours, and by the time we finally came back up, I loaded one boat then was bumped to task, and my bump home arrived ten minutes later. I was satisfied and in a rather good mood, pretty amused that I'd managed to predict such a random event.

Only, it turned out that I was wrong. Remember, I had said that only one of those two things was going to happen. So when I saw that I had missed a call while on the shuttle and had voicemail, I was a little half-hearted in my usual scramble to check who had called, since hey, there was no way I was going to get THAT call today.

Naturally, I recognized the missed call as a WDI number. I actually screamed in my car.

When I called on Friday, I was told that I would be getting called with a final decision this week. Of course, they said I'd probably get called on Monday, so this wasn't the most accurate information. So, given the stress that all this waiting has caused, I was sort of hoping for that final decision, even if it were a no. Being told that I'm still a candidate but they're still deciding is good news, but it's frustrating.

It also means I need to go shopping again, since I don't want to wear the same outfit again and I don't have anything else that will do.

So I wait, and fret, and sort out my project proposals (when I first thought about going over to Imagineering, I didn't have anything in particular that I wanted to get done, but now I have a decent sized list of ideas, ranging from small plusses to full attractions) and go over potential interview questions in my head.

Well, but not tonight. Tonight I find food at ESPN Zone, then go watch The Goonies at Jessica's. Because I do have something of a life, sometimes.
