Ushering
Why am I not asleep?
Tonight I ushered Sesame Street Live. SO cute!! "Let's Be Friends." And I did make friends! There were these two little girls who must have been, oh, two and four, maybe? The little one never spoke, just looked at me with huge brown eyes. The older one kept asking me questions and showing me her Elmo flashlight. Adorable. I love kids. I miss working at the daycare. I miss (I know, I know, enough already, right?) working at Disney and asking kids if they'd met anyone famous and seeing their faces just light up when they'd say "Yes! I met Mickey!" =)
There have been some developments in Sesame Street since my day. Zoe is an addition I rather enjoyed. She was cute. Elmo, I believe, is new, but of course I've known about him for a while. <.g> Then there was the Spanish-speaking one with wings, some purple one with blond hair, and this girl with glasses and a Catholic schoolgirl uniform and a backpack (anyone know who she was?). But Telly was there, and the Honkers and Oscar and Big Bird and Cookie Monster and SNUFFY! I LOVE Snuffy! And Bert and Ernie, whom I just adore. I miss Grover, though. =( And Little Bird. Remember Little Bird?
It's a good thing I wasn't working the floor, because I would have been so in awe of them. lol. I was up in C. Again. I realize now though that C is not a punishment, but rather a compliment. My supervisor told me tonight that they put ushers they think are particularly competent in C because they only have one usher per portal AND that one usher is covering all of C for that portal (C is by far the largest section.... 22 rows versus 14 and 11 for A and B), but half of B as well. I'd like to get the floor one of these days, though. It seems that only the full-time ushers ever get the floor, leaving the students (who, yes, are young and can trudge up 22 flights of stairs) to cover the harder sections. Let me have the floor for Nelly, please! They won't put girls on the floor. They always put men there during conerts in case there is trouble. Grrr. I can hold my own!
I really actually do need to go to bed. I'm starting to get excited for the concert... less than 48 hours away!
