Shamona, heck amighty, rainbows Current mood: nerdy
Tonight I was Shamona.
I did a 3.5 hour shift at EPCOT, but I left my name tag in the front seat of my car in the parking lot. So, I had to borrow a name tag from the box of lost Cast Members in the events office. I had two choices - Uta from Germany (complete with an "I speak German" tag) or Shamona from Cambden, NJ.
You gotta have fun with your job... soww, I became Shamona fwom New Jewsey foww the night. (yeah, that was me attempting to change accents and lose every "r".)
For a good ten minutes, I had a fellow Cast Member going. "Oh my God!" he exclaimed when we met and he read my tag. "I'm from Cambden, too!" Fortunately for me, he talked a lot so it was easy to play along. I had to say only things like, "Yeah! I remembew that place! Hung out thewe all the time in high schewl." (sorry for the accent again - I can't believe this fellow believed me!)
Anyway, it was fun for a while.
When the gag was up, I switched areas of the world - I was from the UK. In the dark, park guests never read your city anyway. I think I may have somewhat mixed English and Australian accents, but eh, I was cracking up myself and my coworkers. Made 3 hours pass a lot quicker. They even took my lead. Missouri girl became valley chick from Southern California and New Jewsey dude became a Georgia boy and even used the phrase "heck amighty" before the night was out.
As I was walking into work, a small amount of rain was clearing and revealed the most unbelievable rainbow behind EPCOT. Like a total nerd, I called friends living near the area. And like total nerds themselves, they stepped outside to see the rainbow. I just couldn't imagine anyone missing such a sight! So, again like a total nerd, I used my cell to take a photo to share so that no one misses it! (two photos actually to capture the entire thing) See below - didn't color adjust.
