So I upgraded my phone from the Sprint HTC Mogul to the Palm Pre. I actually went out and stood in line at 8am in the morning when the Sprint store opened and got one on the very first day.
Overall? I really like the phone... though there are a few issues that I don't like about it. Big complaint I have is the keyboard... I need to have a hardware keyboard but geeze, could they have made the thing any smaller? I love the way it multitasks and I think it's a very beautiful phone overall. I probably will exchange it at some point because of the light leakage on the bottom right corner of my screen, but other then that... even that process will be easy since everything is saved in the "cloud" so restoring my replacement phone to be like the old one will be quick and painless.
Other then that... I've been applying for new jobs left and right. Again, I don't want to leave Disney but the department I'm in has been pretty dead-end for me, even though it wasn't billed as such when I transferred back. When I transferred back, no one knew that we were going to be overloaded with College Program kids who are guaranteed to have 30+ hours a week. Well, those hours have to come from somewhere and it comes from all the part-timers. Then I lost out on backup Specialist and Emerging Leaders was canceled this term... so yah, part of me feels like I completely made a mistake and wasted my time coming back to this department that I really liked in the past. I still love what I do and I love helping my Guests... but I feel that at my age, it's not something that will support me very much longer if it continues to stay the way that it is now.
So I've been shopping around. I got denied a while back for a transfer to the Front Desk over at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, but I think a lot has to do with a boneheaded decision that my manager made to cover his ass (he actually put a coaching on my record card for attendance the week of my interview and then actually told me that it shouldn't affect the transfer process when I confronted him about it). Seriously, wtf. I put in for a transfer to Guest Services at the Disney Cruise Line but haven't gotten a response back. I'm probably going to be putting in an application tonight for a Guest Services Specialist position with Disney Visa/Disney Gift Card... so wish me luck.
I also put in an application to Blizzard (makers of World of Warcraft) for a Forum Moderator position a month ago... but I've never received a response back from them in the past so I don't expect one this time either. It would be nice though for once.
Other then that, it's been going pretty good. I could use more hours but eh, what can you do when we are completely overstaffed because of the College Program.
