This board could just as easily be slammed as clique-ish and those of us who post and read here considered "un-Disney" by people who don't understand it's true purpose.
I agree with those who suggest that "board X" threads should be left where they are and not even brought to this board. If people want to read what SG's are saying on other boards, we can always take our own initiative and head on over to them.
How about not standing up for this board anywhere and maybe the trolls will stop coming here or dragging us into their crap?
We know who we are...kinda. They have a good idea who they are...mostly. And I say vote with your clicks (mouse), if you want x, y, z..go where ever it is.
The part that is the funniest is that any one could think a group of CAST MEMBERS could be un Disney. I think we are realists that work in 'Fantasyland' but are fully grounded (mostly) in the irony of where we work and sometimes (need more time) play.
The funniest and sorriest (is that a word) encounters I have on an almost hourly basis are those SGs who try to "out Disney me". Seriously? You wanna be all sarcastic ..."You didn't say Welcome Home!", "you aren't smiling!", and that crap and you expect me to be all pixie dust in reply? You get courtesy...politeness....and none of the extras hon.
Yeah, I should be smiling while I an running an emerency call and you wanna pin trade? Seriously?!?!?
I have a person on the ground in a medical emergency and complain that I will not tell you what is going on? Seriously????
Oh, you are held a couple of minutes while cast are making sure your ungratelful *ss is safe. Then you complain that you are late for dinner? Seriously???
Worse. They come and get hired cause they are breathing...then try to "out Disney" their trainer, their collegues, their managers and hit the matrix cause they do not get time off on weekends??? Seriously??!!!!
When I first got to MK, I put on a pedometer. (Was trying to lose weight...don't ask) When I saw the double digit miles I put on my feet on a slow day, I broke the damned pedometer. Yeah, I was frustrated I walked that far and still wasn't losing weight. ;)
I dare any of these complainers that say we are "un Disney" or "not Disney enough" to stand and walk for 8 hrs with just one hour off for breaks and food. Then you see what kind of mood you and your body are in...then imagine you had to be super nice to every jack*** that could pay the entry fee.
Yeah...did I mention I hate the holidays?
