My Problems

I had the day off today so I got up early (okay, 9:00 but it felt early) and went to explore Animal Kingdom for a few hours. It was one of the more enjoyable things I've done alone while being here. Usually at a theme park like this, you are with a group of people who always have something different they want to do, always someone who has to go to the bathroom, always someone who left something somewhere, etc. Well you just don't have those problems when you're alone and it's pretty cool! I got through three major rides, one show, four shops, and one sugar free strawberry popsicle in less than three hours. Thank you, thank you very much.
So I've been in a bit of a pickle for the last few weeks... I have had trash accumulating very slowly in the trash cans in my bedroom and bathroom. I'm only here for a couple waking hours every day so it is not that much but I'm at a crossroads. The problem is I don't know where the dumpster is. And I have no problem asking one of my roommates but I don't want them to realize that I have been here for four whole weeks and haven't taken out the kitchen trash yet. I do feel kind of bad about it but I do the dishes nearly every day so I figured that makes up for it... My problem is the two bags of trash sitting in my room. And it isn't even that. It's that the trash bags are clear and every day I have to look at the empty Halloween candy wrappers that I may or may not have bought for myself.
Also, I have a work-related issue. I work closing shifts every single night which I love because I haven't missed a fireworks show yet while I have been working. And I'm still not tired of it! But my problem occurs every single evening at dusk from about 6:30 - 7:30 pm. The gnats come out. It's gross. I know you have experienced it before; you're walking along peacefully and all of a sudden you see little moving black dots EVERYWHERE and you start flailing your arms and walking faster to get away but they seem to follow you. Yeah, so the gnat pockets start showing up. And it's not a huge deal... except part of my job is to stand on the street and wait for people to approach me and ask questions. I wouldn't even mind if there were a few gnats around and only I could see them. But this is what it all boils down to... my worst fear is for a guest to be enjoying the lovely evening, look around for a cast member to ask for directions, and see me. A custodian. Holding a pan and broom. Surrounded by gnats. I cannot picture a more disturbing stereotype and it makes me sick to think about. Therefore, I spend this special hour every evening slowly walking and staring off into space trying to find a place the gnats are avoiding. I know it must look strange but it sounds a whole lot better than looking like a smelly, dirty janitor.
