here i am again,

wanna start this post with something just happened -.- ... i just noticed that the 7 dwarfs are SEVEN ! how lame i can be... staring at the plush toys infront of me at my office wondering how many are they ! ... dono how i reached this level of achievements and am still dumb lol

ok .. been away for a long time now.. not feeling well a little bit.. but that doesnt mean work stops.. ok it stopped when i was ill -.- ...the past week was the serious one.. meeting after the other , brainstorming after the another...etc. different projects at the same time ...ok i dont wanna add bordem to u ppl and talk about serious moments.. hmmm Disney is not that strict place.. its more like a fantasy work place.. if u were stucked just roam around the offices and for sure u'll get inspired and get creatively thougths.. there are a lot to catch up .. but cant really remember every detail.. therefore i think i will update my blog every now and then..

ok ... last week i had a meeting with my boss.. spoke and discussed some projects.. for a sudden he told me .. come i want you to try something... walking between the buildings i was wondering what is that thing i will try , is it an electronic chair? a space ship? or i was otver dramatic lol... i entered a place.. a huge greyed room filled with mechenical stuff in its corners... out of the blue there was a huge thing infront of me .. abstract object with all the wires attached to a laptop... guess what ? its a ride! i was amazed and ofcourse scared to try it ... since its a trial -.- my boss said: " amna , why dont you give it a try?" i was like O_o what?? how can i trust this thing ... ok its height is twice mine or triple ! imagine... ok fine am not that tall -.- but it was HUGE ..i went on it ... praying to stay alive... watching my boss controlling he ride with a joystick! but i really HAD A BLAST ! the msg behind it is that i need to experience the feeling of a ride aspecific one am working on... to know how to work ... and sure .. i did understand a lot.. all what we discussed in the meetings i felt it on the ride... its all about how u feel .. in order to create...

Oops i need to go back to work... thats it for now

first day~

Here it goes…

Today was my first day at work… Disney Imagineering… at first I was so nervous… didn’t sleep well the night before… had panic attacks all the time… asking myself many questions… will they accept me? Will they be amazed of my work? Will they hate my presence? Will they. ..? will they …? will they…? The alarm clock ran at 7 am .. woke up with a shock face… this is it… its time for work.. my face was filled with shockness.. don’t wanna know what exactly I looked like! Staring at my cereal bowl, for a sudden I had that confindence that I will amaze them.. will create that change they needed… and they wont ever regret my presence ! finished my breakfast really quick and woke out the apartment my heart filled with passion and enthusiasm…. Ready for the change! I arrived 45 minutes before time… then I thought ok .. calm down -_- … roamed around the neighborhood for 30 min… listening to calm music didn’t know what to do till then lol … I stepped in the main building thinking what will my first words be? Shall I smile? Or I just walk in with no expressions … as soon as I opened the door nd went to the main desk… I was shocked ! the guy sitting on the reception stood up and said: “amna?” I went blank… how did he know me… I replied back with a yes… his other words were “we were expecting u.. welcome and feel home.. tasha will be here in a while” with a big grin… that’s a good start! Tasha came a long and took me to finish some important paper work… got some papers signed… got my ID… my badge will be mailed to me soon.. then Eric ascorted me to the “BlueSky departement” a place I can call heaven of creativity! They showed me my cubical.. its empty for now.. wait till you see it in few days lol … few minutes later… my collegues stepped in… they were so welcoming… friendly… they took me around the whole place and introduce me to all departments… thank god i found them… theyre great people… we went back o our work place and had some chats with my boss.. he seemed a great person too… what I liked the most is that they were so excited to meet me… and happy o have me around… my boss was amazed of my previous work and passionate to see what I will produce… that’s it for now… off 2 lunch ;)
