A little boy was too short to ride. His father was angry. His response when I repeated he couldn’t ride?

“I’m from New York! I’d let him ride!”

I really wanted to be like “YOU’RE FROM NEW YORK?? OH MY GOD THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.”

But I didn’t.

We had an IT convention with 5,000 nerds. Who were all given free booze.

We had a forty minute wait and four code Vs in the span of an hour.

Also some drunk nerds talked to each other about how they would totally have sex with me. WHILE I WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE. I was like “guys, you’re not really doing a good job whispering.”

And I got my fourth GSF card!

Can I ask you a question? What was the most annoying thing about being a teacher? I’m considering it but my teachers were always complaining about how poor they are and about parents being irritating.

The faculty. That was seriously the worst part for me. The headmaster was a stingy and heartless jerk with a perma-smile, most of the other teachers treated me like crap, and the teachers who were kind to me didn’t have much power to help me improve how I was doing at the school.

If you’re in a job you truly love, you can deal with some of the difficulties it gives you. Like right now I deal with grumpy tourists and the heat but I love Disney so much and there’s so much potential for me and I’m so happy to be here. With teaching, I adored my kids but hated every single other aspect of the job. So for me, it wasn’t worth it. But you never know- maybe teaching will be the right place for you!
