It's really the only way for a normal person to effect the SC. They are given lifetime appointments, it doesn't say how long those lifetimes have to be.
At least at the Faires I've worked at no one cares.
In fact, I have a second-hand anecdote that one faire staff has a screen accurate combadge inside their doublet. When they see people doing stuff like this, they run over and pull them aside. They would whip out the badge and get in their face. "Does the Prime Directive mean NOTHING to you?! This is an uncontacted pre-warp civilization. You are ruining YEARS of undercover research! Who is your captain? I'm going to have your court martialled if you don't get under cover FAST."
Acurate assessment. As much as I would like to see Disney scorched earth Florida, its not happening in the near future.
The other medium-term solution I could see is to begin winding down operations in Florida and redirecting resources to beefing up the other existing parks. Basically cut back all spending in Florida until the park park is barely breaking even. Let it sputter out slowly while expanding other properties.
That said, you're probably right that The Mouse really needs to drop some cash in Florida and drastically alter the political landscape.
Yup. Headline is a bit misleading. But I guess saying $40 extra which includes a $10 game time voucher and guaranteed beta access doesn't grab attention the same way.
I went through a brief period in college when I was taking a full load and working 30 hours a week. I needed to carefully plan my sleep schedule. I was taking sleeping pills to go to sleep right away and caffeine pills to get going, with coffee/soda throughout the day. Was it healthy? Absolutely not.
On the plus side, I developed a new drink at the cafe I was working at, The Opener; for those 5am shifts.
walk by coffee pots, start all of the machines.
walk to espresso machine, pull an espresso shot into a regular coffee mug.
set down all of my 'stuff'
at this point espresso has finished
take espresso mug back to coffee makers. At this point they are hot and flowing. Replace coffee pot with my mug.
Once mug is topped off with coffee, replace coffee pot.
Sip drink while turning on the lights and computers
Eh, Christmas is next week. I'll just figure out gifts then.
