Text of the page (random words):
and back and the gravel trail portion of the race also the first two years of the race have been pretty hot and humid luckily this year this wasn t a factor with temps in the 70s and low humidity it was an amazing night for a run i was almost jealous and wanted to be out there with my team but just because i wasn t running doesn t mean i was sitting on my butt doing nothing this year i decided to experience the other side of a rundisney event and volunteer being a night race we decided for our first time through we wanted an early shift the actual start time of the race is 10 pm so that means volunteer shifts could go as late as 4 30 am or even start around 10 or 11 pm we were lucky enough to be able to get a 6 to 11 pm shift working gear check pre race i was excited because i thought that meant i would get to see my teammates even if it was for just a quick good luck hug unfortunately as the race got closer i found out we were assigned to gear check finish line which meant we me my mom and my dad would be on the other end at the finish line before the race started i was a little bummed that i didn t get get see my friends but it turned out to be a pretty cool job but before i get into race night i think i better start from the beginning a few weeks before the race we each received our volunteer confirmation letters in the mail confirming our volunteer shift and position as well as a name tag if we were working the expo or 5k just like the runners race volunteers have to visit the expo to pick up their credentials or an property office the week before expo because we weren t arriving until saturday we chose to go to expo to pick up our stuff when we arrived at the espn wide world of sports complex we were directed to the hp fieldhouse to a room set up with several tables unfortunately our experience started with a bit of craziness as the first gentlemen we encountered thought we were there to volunteer for the expo and sent us to the wrong table the poor lady at the table tried to scan the card i had received in the mail over and over again to bring up my shift with no luck until she looked at my paperwork and realized that i was working the race not the expo so we were sent back to the other table where we got were handed an envelope with our final race instructions lanyard and name tag we weren t given our volunteer t shirts there which i was a little bummed about because i was pretty curious to see what they looked like but looking back now i understand why they do that way all volunteers are required to wear the provided shirt or jacket to their shift so to assure this they just give them out before the shift starts a few hours later around 5 30 we followed our directions and headed over to the rapunzel and mulan lots at magic kingdom to check in for our shift once we were checked in we were given our tshirts bright yellow with the race logo a blinky blue safety light and glow sticks in addition each volunteer is provided snacks meaning we were given a gallon size ziploc bag and told that we could choose 5 items from a table filled with oreos chex mix goldfish trail mix and chips among the 3 of us that s 15 snacks and 3 bottles of water very generous we then headed out to the parking lot to wait for our bus which our name tags told us to board bus 4 there was a bit of confusion among the team leaders with the busses but after about 40 minutes our bus finally arrived and we were finally on our way before the bus left our team leader bob introduced himself and took a roll call and then we headed for hollywood studios on the way there the bus driver put frozen on the dvd player but since it was only about a 20 minute ride we only got to when anna wakes up on coronation day just enough time to get do you wanna build a snowman stuck in my head finally we arrived in the parking lot to disney s hollywood studios in the distance i could see the lights and hear the music of the gathering area of the starting area the weather that night was amazing mid 70s and really low humidity the nicest it had been in months i was so jealous i wanted to run but i had a job to do our group headed across the lot and backstage or should i say behind the scenes to our set up area on the indiana jones stunt show stage the showing having been there since about 1989 i had seen it a few times but never been a part of the show so i had never been on the stage until that day i had a great time getting a close up look at all the details did you know the boulder that nearly tramples indy in the opening scene is more of a big rubber ball taking pictures and having my pictures taken after a bit the tables arrived and our team lead bob instructed us how to set them up in groups of two columns three tables long each our next job was tape papers with numbers on them to the edges at first i was confused because every few tables had the same numbers then i figured out that each few set of tables was for a different part of the alphabet for example the first 3 tables were for last names a b the next 3 for letters c e so the bib numbers started over each time confusing i know for the last section they brought in some large rolling medal racks that some of us were assigned to hang s hooks on to this was something rundisney was trying out but i don t see how it would work well with the strings and i would think the numbers would be hard to see soon after the first of the bags showed up being transported in the carts the resorts sued for laundry we wasted no tim e positioning the carts near their respective tables and starting to unload at first we were told to not worry about getting the bags in specific order just get them on the right tables between trucks we had a little bit of time so most of the bags got organized in some sort of order anyway i think with every new load of bags we learned something for example the first load a couple of people were in charge of unloading the bags from the cart and putting them on the table by the second load we found that didn t work too well because the new bags were getting mixed in with the sorted bags later we learned to if possible try to grab a bunch of bags that belong in the same area for example at one point i grabbed like 6683 749 and 5 so i had to keep going around and around the tables we also learned pretty quickly to actually look at the numbers it was pretty easy when you were moving that fast to mix up 1023 and 10023 as the race got closer more and more bags showed up probably about 6 or 7 loads and the crew continued to set up around us barriers and signs to help the runners find their letters to get their bags some sections were so full that we had to make use of the space on the floor to store the bags while we worked there was some area appropriate music playing except once upon a dream from the new maleficient movie not sure how that fits into the indiana jones area problem was it was on a loop of about 5 songs which got really old after a while i kind of wish they had some better more fun music playing for us while we worked throughout the evening we did get to see some pretty interesting stuff some bags had huge backpacks shoved into them really you want to carry that around dhs during the party all night and another bag had just a single package of clifblox seriously you wasted the time standing in line now this person will have to come back to pickup for that i would have just put them in their pocket one bag had a full sized trophy in it guess they wanted some cool pics at the after party while others weren t very smart with their valuables we found a couple of iphones in the bags and one bag with 35 smashed up along the side so it was clearly visible amazingly one of the first bags i put my hands on had a wdwradio running team sweatshirt in it what are the odds that i would be the one to grab that bag through the wonders of facebook i figured out that bag belonged to my friend and teammate scott but he didn t have any good snacks in there boo before we knew it we had unloaded the last truck the next shift of volunteers had arrived and we were done and imo the bags looked pretty good and ready for pickup team leader bob gathered us all on stage to thank us for a great job and to take a group pic before we headed back to the buses the buses took us back to the volunteer tent at the magic kingdom lot where we had started when we had returned all the tables that had been used for check in and been broken down except for one where we were asked to line up for check out upon checking out we handed over a card that we had been given in our credentials packet and in return received a 1 day disney theme park ticket that only happens if you work the actual race volunteers who work the expo kid s races or 5ks have to earn 16 hours before they earn their ticket considering the work we did that was an awesome deal our shift was 5 hours but between the bus rides and the waiting around i d say we actually worked maybe 2 5 or 3 hours and we didn t have to deal with any runners good deal the next day my back was a little sore but i would definitely do it again unfortunately there is no tower of terror 10 miler next year but i don t think this is my last rundisney volunteer experience posted by sassyginger at 6 02 am no comments saturday september 6 2014 i am never going back ever remember that scene in the movie tangled where rapunzel finally leaves the tower and her feelings are a conflicted mix of what have i done and this is soooo amazing yeah that pretty much sums up my life lately oh yeah did i mention i got a job only took about 6 months but i got a job no its not in teaching and its actually not something i ever thought i d be doing its a receptionist position thats funny to me because one of my biggest fears is talking on the phone but i didn t have a choice nobody else seemed to want me and i needed a job so i closed my eyes and took a huge leap of faith the first couple of days were really scary everything as being thrown at me i felt like i was never going to pick anything up and i was still terrified of the phones luckily my supervisor caught onto this and slowed everything way down for me now i know i m not dumb its just that this is a whole different world for me and its a lot to learn i m not just answering the phone im mailing packages updating credit cards running credit cards helping to make travel reservations uploading files sending letters etc the second week i started feeling more comfortable and i m starting to finding myself doing things probably a month ago i would have been scared to death of i guess the song is right what doesn t kill you makes you stronger sometimes when i hear people talk i do feel a little bit out of my league but my new co workers are all really nice and have been super supportive i m finally starting to get over that feeling every morning of omg what am i doing i ve realized part of it is as a teacher i woke up every morning and i knew exactly what i was doing at pretty much every minute of the day i had my folder of all my plans and copies all prepared not that i don t know whats coming each day but i m not armed big heavy bag full of stuff speaking of lets talk about the awesome discoveries i m making first of all i don t have to carry that big heavy bag of stuff every morning i don t have those mornings anymore where i m taking care of last minute details anymore either i can get up feed bailey relax a little bit before i have to get going i also have a 20 minute drive as opposed to a 40 45 minute drive woohoo and do you know why i don t have that big heavy bag anymore because i don t spend all my home time working and planning it s not that i wasn t prepared or unorganized as a teacher it was just the kind of teacher i was always worrying about finding that perfect activities and then having to make most of those activities took a lot of time last year one weekend i went to disney for an event and had to go home early because i had to work and get ready for the next week now i walk out that door and i m free until 8 30 the next morning also when i was a teacher even if i was supposed to leave at 5 i was never out of there on time i was always stuck waiting for someone to relieve me or talking to a parent or finishing up something now my office is a ghost town at 5 05 5 03 on fridays lol it s so nice to feel normal again its been a long time since moving to florida i ve either been pretty unhappy with my job or frustrated in a job search or scared of not being able to find a job and freaking out about the future while i loved teaching while i did it and really do believe i was put in the lives of my student s for a reason right now im not feeling like i want to go back to teaching its fun to feel free and not have to worry about lesson planning or 20 little bodies and their parents so right now im feeling like rapunzel when she s running down the hill yelling i am never going back ever and with that i m going to bed night night world posted by sassyginger at 7 45 pm no comments monday august 4 2014 the bright side of life growing up in chicago for as long as i can remember i grew up listening to the radio station wgn 720 am one of the segments that one of their anchors john williams did was called the bright side of life during this segment listeners would call in with things that currently made them happy or good things that were happening to them that s where the title of this post comes from and now i have the cheesy song he would play monty python i believe stuck in my head the last 3 years have been quite the emotional roller coaster leaving me a little messed up emotionally not depression but a little down confused and frustrated have you ever had those times when someone says something to you or you read something and it hits you like a ton of bricks or to quote one of my favorite movies hook like lightning struck my brain every once in a while that happens to me i ll just be scrolling along instagram or facebook and someone posts a quote that i feel like was put there just for me for example right after christmas i was trying to decide if i really wanted to stay at the child care center i wasn t very happy but it was a job and i could just try to make the best of it until the end of the school year then one day i went out to lunch at a chinese restaurant and this showed up in my fortune cookie that was it i totally agree i wasn t happy i felt like i was completely under appreciated and i wasn t going to grow there and six more months would be torture so i handed in my two weeks notice about a year or so ago i was having a really bad week and felt really small and scared and then my friend sent me this ive loved it ever since and it made me feel so much better sometimes its a song earlier this year i was out running and it was one of those perfect days but i was a little down that day there were no jobs i was qualified for and i hadn t heard bac...
