Still gotta try to get to a more permanent place, preferably either full- or part-time, instead of this deal where I just pick up shifts.

My brother got us lost on the way back to the motel after we left Disney University.
There's a Disney University now?
It's mostly where you go when you have Traditions (which I guess is like a day-long orientation to working at WDW) and some training (for my custodial job, I had to take some computer stuff on dealing with blood-borne pathogens).

So I was throwing a few snowballs at randomly selected tree trunks behind my workplace because... I can, that's why. Just little mind exercises to take my mind of the tedium of the workplace.
Anyways to make a long story short, apparently on one of my better fast balls- my car/house keys flew out of my coat pocket (unbeknownst to me at the time) into a random snow pile. Since all day the snow has been falling off in clumps from the tree limbs above, making potchmarks and new clumps everywhere.... it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find where they may have flown out and landed in the snow. I have wasted my entire lunch and last break poking around and looking for them.(I have looked ALL other places including my clothes, car, lost n found at work, other managers, my desk, my friends desks, the garbage, the breakrooms, bathrooms and the parking lot in every direction I normally walk in.)
So either they are lost until almost all the snow has melted and hopefully they didn't slide under foliage/dead branches/mud OR some scumbag walking by happened upon them and just pulled a dick move and kept them, instead of turning them in.
NEITHER of those scenarios pleases me.

All I can think is "he got snow?" Today was perfect shorts weather. I don't even know if another cold day is gonna happen, which sucks because at this point I'm sick of summer weather. At least when I'm living in NYC, I'll get REAL seasons. Rainy springs, warm summers, breezy autumns and effin cold winters. That's what I really want.

Smile just got back from the symphony/choir/symphony+choir. I'll share pics later, but holy heavens was it something else.
The choir was beyond amazing and I would be lying if I said my ears aren't still ringing. The resonance in the church/almost a cathedral was astounding and the pipes the choir brought were loud enough to rattle your chest. Very, very moving performances by some very talented young men and women.

: Was randomly browsing amazon's cyber monday sales and came across this item. Rolled my eyes at the idea and decided to read the reviews lol.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B3G8UGQ/ref ... 1673797982Here is my favorite so far.
In these times of extreme busyness, you can't help but get frustrated sometimes and think "there's just not enough time in the day!" With this item, your capacity to "get s*** done" is increased exponentially.
PROs:
* Get s*** done
* Colors are not only pleasing to the eye, but scientifically proven to encourage productivity and movements
* No need to flush, built-in incinerator removes waste after motion sensors detect your absence
* Small enough that you can leave your iPad installed and just carry the whole thing with you
* Can download a free bidet app (although after the trial period, you have to pay for it with an in-app purchase)
* Installing your iPad doesn't cover up the camera lens, for easier multi-tasking (Skyping and wiping?)
* Seat sensor technology detects up to 4 individuals, adjusting seat height and warmth automatically according to programmable presets
* Magnetic smart lid keep animals out, and scents in
CONs:
* No Bluetooth support, will not sync with a smart watch or wireless headphones
* I'd love to see this in a champagne color or maybe customizable lids
This is the best money I've spent in years... I will be buying more of these. 2 thumbs up!
UPDATE: I have dropped my review down to 4 stars. Currently, my left buttock is securely lodged in the seat. While I wait for the fire department to arrive, I wanted to share my further experience with this product. Since I was unable to Facetime for help (less than ideal Wifi access) and had fallen over during my struggle, it wasn't until the mailman found me on the front porch that I was able to call for help. It clearly needs some sort of safety mechanism to prevent cheek lock.
