Afternoon chaps. Hour 46 of the fast. 10k this morning. We are still going with the Eating around the world stuff, Belgium is today, so Moules Mariniere for dinner. Conference calls all done for today.
We got the official word that the kids are off school until mid SEPTEMBER. That would be about a week shy of 6 months. If I come on here asking for a shovel, call the authorities.
Had a good day today, sent 2 emails and saved about half a million bucks. I might ask for some of that as a gratuity. I wish I worked on 20% right now. I could even live with 18.
I bet you are. The scales-of-hatred have climbed back into the 190s for me,
I hear ya. I was at 195 last night, there will be about 20k running in the next 2 or 3 days, so hopefully I'll get to 193 on Fri morning. If I get to 185 in maybe a month, and I can still maintain my runs normally, I'll be happy.
- DDCC or Family Trip?
- Rivers of Light or Electrical Water Pageant?
- Haunted Mansion or TOT?
- Looking more forward to TRON Light Cycle or Guardians of the Galaxy?
- Splash Mountain or Kali River Rapids?
Family trip
Water Pagaent. Big thing for our kids as we generally get a Lake View on the Poly to watch, as that suits our points profile.
HM. But I do like a bit of ToT, especially the detailing along the way. And the Paris one is amazing.
Done TRON, so I guess GoG, as I was supposed to do it in April on the Cali trip.
Splash is possibly the best ride outside of the new stuff in WDW IMHO.
So we cancelled our rooms for our July trip. Disney would not let us modify our reservation to January 2021. The Disney cast member told us they were not booking any 2021 dates.
I'm so sorry Chief, that totally sucks. Does that mean DDCC is in jeopardy for you?
I was thinking about DDCC the other day, if Park ressies are still in place, thats gonna be a bit of a challenge to co-ordinate.....
In the past, Disney has always made it work. That doesn't seem to be their focus.
You're right. I don't think they really wanted to open when they are, but Universal forced their hand, and they are hitting it with a blunt tool (TWSS). I honestly think, they would rather you cancelled and came back in Spring 21, as there will be a flood of vloggers saying this is rubbish, that's rubbish ad hominem, as to the Chief's point, it's half a pint but charging for a full one.
But one of us has to make some money to pay for food or a Disney trip. You know, one of the important things in life.
Food's overrated. Whereas Disney trips.......
They can't figure out a plan to open restaurants? Really?
Yeah, I'm struggling with some of it. So lets take Poly, where they have put you. I get Trader Sams, as you would have about 4 people in there with distancing, but not the terrace? I know it's cool in the room and all, but you really go there for the drinkies. Pineapple Lanai is open, and that's 30 yards down the road from the TS terrace. And Capt Cooks is open, with the smallest queuing area known to man. And that's just in the Poly. I guess there is so much with Disney, they are always playing catch up. Universal just had to worry about the Park. Citywalk is all 3rd party as are the Hotels.
DW and I have a cottage booked in Alma, NB with is the village next to Fundy National Park
Nice!
First off, the new guy started yesterday, as I have already mentioned, and that put me in a bad mood for most of the day.
Understandable.
Not sure if he knew he T'd me off with his comment or not,
Maybe. Some people are not good in situations where they have to have a difficult conversation, so try to go big.
Best. Comic. Strip. Ever.
Not Peanuts?
I understand the frustration. Just keep swinging. You only need to hit once.
Indeed. Baseball rewards you with millions of dollars for doing what you are supposed to 30% of the time. So if it's good for A Rod, it's good for you, CCT.
Actually, I'm gonna use that in my next appraisal.
Although that would kind of demand that I am good at my job at least 30% of the time. Which is a stretch.
Have a good afternoon my friends.
