Passing the time

One of the most frustrating things about going to work at Disney is the wait. I've got close to 300 days to kill before I get out there. Here's some of the things I've been doing to pass the time:

* Planning my post-Disney trip. I've got a list of must-dos: LA, Vegas, Grand Canyon, NYC and Washington DC. Then I've got a much longer list of "try and get around tos".

* Buying books. Not just relevant ones either. Sure, I got a travel guide on America, and one on Florida, and a Hidden Mickey guide for Disney World, but I also went on a 2nd-hand hardcover mission and spent a lot more than is healthy.

* Working. I answer questions (ANY questions) online for a living, so I've been throwing myself into that so I can save as much as possible so I don't actually have to rely on Disney's wages to get by.

* Vaguely watching flight costs. Whenever I remember, I gaze at flights to see if anything ridiculously cheap is available.It is. But I'm going to hold out for a combination of cheap and convenient.

Heaven.

* Drooling at American foodstuff. So many flavours of Pringles. Ben and Jerry's. A thousand breakfast cereals. I intend to try as many as possible and then cry myself to sleep when I get back to South Africa because I'll never get to try them again.

* Killing time on forums. WDWIP is a font of knowledge for all things CRP.

* Writing this. I'm going to try and get it to it weekly at least, maybe a bit less in the run up to Disney and bit more when I get there.

* Figuring out burning questions to ask Sue when she calls in November. All I've got is "Does Santa really exist?" but I don't think she's qualified to answer that.

And yes, of course I know Santa does exist. Duh.
