Last updated 02Jan12 – Fun in 2011 – 21 work days in 2011.

20Aug11 – There has been a change in the Casual Temporary (CT) Cast Member employment policy. Please note my week 35 - 20Aug11 entry below. Disney has openings for CT cast members. When I just checked, the seasonal openings were in park operations; which is where I work, but when I first applied there were no seasonal openings in park operations, but I requested it anyway. So it is still worth filling out an application – you never know what jobs will be available next week. Check out - http://wdw.disneycareers.com – and read my comments at the end of this page.

I started working at Disney in 2008 and worked 14 days – see how it all started - Dave in Disney 2008.

I worked another 15 days in 2009 - Dave in Disney 2009.

During 2010 I worked a total of 24 days - Dave in Disney 2010

I work at Walt Disney World (D) for the fun of it. It is really great fun helping people who are having fun, have fun. I have received many 50% and 40% discounts on rooms, many discounts of 50% on merchandise, many 20% discounts on meals; have received special considerations at reservation time, provided friends and family free admission to WDW, and a million fun times. I even received a 15% discount of a 2 hour Segway tour of Fort Wilderness – a tour you should try. I should also point out that since I am working away from home, all my expenses – tolls, auto mileage, motel room, meals (I take the meal per diem rate of $56/day), costume cleaning, etc. – are an income tax deduction. Since I also work for a major tax preparation firm, I use every deduction I can find to help me and my income tax clients get the largest legal refund.

I am only trained to work in Disney’s Animal Kingdom (DAK) in Dinoland at Theater In The Wild (TITW) which features “Finding Nemo – the Musical” and at the Boneyard. “Finding Nemo – the Musical” is a delightful stage show featuring actors and puppets portraying the story of Nemo. I always enjoy the show. The Boneyard features a playground area with 10 slides for kids and a dig site where kids can dig for dinosaur bones. Since I only want to work a minimum number days, working and being trained in only 1 area is fine. I have to work 5 days a year to remain a cast member. Also if I do not work at least every 6 months, I have to be retrained (and retested) – something I want to avoid.

Week 01 – 26Dec10 – 1 work day so far in 11 – Fri, Dec 31, 10

I was scheduled to work today in the Boneyard. My current availability for 2011 is Saturdays only. The Boneyard, as well as the rest of D was very busy today. I worked all of the positions in the Boneyard but my favorite positions are Entrance/Exit, Dig Site, and Cementasorus where I can interact with the guests.

Observation: WDW was so busy, the sign at the entrance said the Magic Kingdom was at full capacity and closed. I am not sure how many guests DAK can handle, but we were very busy.

Week 02 – 02Jan11 – 2 work days so far in 11 – Sat, Jan 08, 11

The Boneyard was busy today and the staffing was short. I do not know if cast members were not scheduled, cast members called in sick, or perhaps the college program of seasonal cast members was slow in starting. I had the opportunity to work the parade today. It is fun to great the guests and answer they questions waiting for the parade. The hardest part of working in the Boneyard is covering the bones in the digsite at the end of that day. That is real work.

Observation: My best assignment today was to identify a give a family VIP treatment for 20 minutes. I’m not sure how I can do that in a playground to provide “VIP treatment” so I just choose a family to talk to and try to give them suggestions and answer all their questions. This time I met a family from Miami. He was employed in exporting computer equipment to South America and she was from Peru. By the end of the discussion the husband “thanked” me for spending time with them. He claimed I had turned his wife from a big D fan to a big fanatical D fan. It would not surprise me if I she was working as a seasonal cast member at D one of these days.

Week 03 – 09Jan11 – I was scheduled to work Sat, Jan 15, 11 but I posted my work day on the board in the break room and Meredith took it for me.

Week 04 – 16Jan11 – My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week and am not scheduled to work. Any request for a day off on a day you have scheduled availability must be submitted at least 3 weeks before the availability week. I always try to request days off for the second following month at the end of each month. My days off for January were requested in late November. I have been told I do not even need a scheduled availability, I can just pick up shifts from the available shift list – but have found very few available shifts in my area lately and do not want to take a change. If I do not work every 6 months I am required to go through training and testing again.

Week 05 – 23Jan11 – My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week and am not scheduled to work.

When I logged on today I found out I was working during week 06 – Saturday 05Feb11 in the Boneyard.

I also went back and found a poem Edmo wrote in tribute to my working at D. He was referring to my first picture in my Dave in Disney 2008 story.

Picture of Dinoland Dave.

“Of all the creatures

To be feared

There is none so scary

An image seared

Of graybeards from retirement creep

To work at Disney

And man the street

I beg you judge the outfit (bleep!)

Will make you smile or make you weep.”

Thanks Don.

I also learned I had some negative marks on my record card. I never found my record card before because none of the links worked so I thought it was blank. When I called TS about it, they told me not to use the links which failed (typical TS). It seems in 09 I clocked in late, failed to clock out, missed a day and in 10 failed to clock out. I was warned by other cast members to keep a copy of my clock punches and did not learn until this year that no schedule is final until 5 days before any work or non work day. I plan to check the schedule at least twice a week, save a copy of my clock punches and ask a supervisor why I was never informed of my poor performance.

Week 06 – 30Jan11 – 3 work days so far in 11 – Sat, Feb 05, 11

This was another very busy day in the Boneyard. I was pulled out of the Boneyard to do parade support today. A good time to talk to the guests and answer any questions they may have. Today’s guests seem to contain a lot of visitors from Argentina. We also had quite a few Canadians trying to escape the snow. All in all it was a very fun day.

Observation: At the fork in the road where the right goes into the DAK parking lot and the left goes to the DAK Lodge (and cast member parking) I have seen a deputy sheriff stand with his radar checking traffic speeds. Due to delays in shopping (my wife was with me) and a clerk at the cast connections store who could not figure out how to use the computer to check me out, I was going too fast when I came to the fork in the road. The deputy sheriff was kind and left me with just a warning. I went as fast as I could to get to work, was still late and ended up with another negative mark on my record card for being late.

Week 07 – 06Feb11 - My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week am not scheduled to work.

Week 08 – 13Feb11 - My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week.

Week 09 – 20Feb11 – 4 work days so far in 11 – Sat, Feb 25, 11

Today I worked in TITW at various positions. Much of the time I was outside helping guest by providing directions. The 2pm show was so full, we turned away many guests waiting in line. Just after the show was scheduled to start, I was directed to take over the greeter #1 position which is inside the theater at door 2 – one of the main entrances. Upon entering I found all the lights on and was told the computer went down and they were rebooting the computer to get the show started. Finally the show started about 15 minutes late – which resulted in a delay in filling the theater for the 3:15 show.

Observation: I spent some time talking with a couple from Maine who come down (to escape the snow) a couple of times each year. I may have recruited her to become a cast member. He was not excited about working, but seemed excited about his wife getting a job. After my shift, I change cloths and went out to a shop to buy a couple of toys for the grandkids.

Week 10 – 27Feb11 - My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week and am not scheduled to work.

Week 11 – 06Mar11 - My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week and am not scheduled to work.

Week 12 – 13Mar11 – 5 work days so far in 11 – Sat, Mar 19, 11

Today was a Boneyard day. I was scheduled to start work at 2:45pm so drove up from home in the morning. The staff in the Bondyard was at minimum levels and one of the managers even participated in handling one of the positions for a time during the parade. It was spring break in many school districts (and Canada) so a lot of kids were guests. The park was full, it was a truly beautiful day, and I hope the guests had as much fun as I did. I really enjoy helping the guests and have the most opportunity to do that when working positions at the dig site, the entrance, and as the ground roamer. The mid level and tower positions allow for much less guest interaction (fewer adults go up there to use the slides).

Observation: I met Canadians from Toronto, Ontario, and Vancouver today. They seemed happy to be out of the snow and glad that the Canadian dollar is at about the highest ever level compared to the US dollar. I spent some time talking to Dave from Miami trying to convince him he needs a part time job at D. Not sure I was very successful, but I may have had more luck with another Miami couple. The husband thought it would be a great job for his wife.

Week 13 – 20Mar11 - My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week.

Week 14 – 27Mar11 – My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week

Week 15 – 03Apr11 - My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week.

Week 16 – 10Apr11 - My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week

Week 17 – 17Apr11 – My availability is Saturday and I was not scheduled this week.

Week 18 – 24Apr11 – My availability is Saturday and I was not scheduled this week.

Week 19 – 01May11 - My availability is Saturday and I requested I not be scheduled this week

Week 20 – 08May11 – 6 work days so far in 11 - Sat, May 14, 11

I had requested I not be scheduled this week but when I found an opening to TITW in the extra hours hotline I immediately signed up for it. I had last worked in TITW in February and did not want to go 6 months without working in TITW because retraining and retesting would then be required. I worked as Greeter 1, House left, Midlevel right, Greeter 2 and several Stroller parking positions. About 2pm the heavy rains came. The next two shows were filled to capacity as guests came to avoid the rain.

Observation: I had a brief discussion with a couple who lived in Jupiter FL, just a couple miles from my home. I also spent some time on line looking for cast member discounts on the Disney Cruise Line. Seems there are several dates on the Disney Magic for 10 and 11 day cruises on which cast members would have to pay $90 per night, double occupancy. A cast member can reserve a maximum of 3 cabins. Tips, taxes, and shore excursions are not included in that price. The Disney Magic is currently cruising out of Barcelona, Spain so air fare would be extra.

Week 21 – 15May11 – 7 work days so far in 11 - Sat, May 21, 11

I was scheduled to work in TITW today. When I arrived I noticed some changes. Seems DAK operations was reorganized and we had a morning briefing from a manager – my first. I worked various positions, including head usher, greeter 1, house right, and parked a lot of strollers. A lot of training of new TITW staff was being done.

Observation: I found that I was ill prepared to work the head usher position. Next time I need to spend more time studying the duties including house loading procedures and staff queues. The Friday evening I arrived in Orlando, I met a lady and her 10 year old daughter from Punta Gorda at the Motel 6. Seems the daughter was going to a casting call at one of the D hotels for a dance position. I hope she was successful

Week 22 – 22May11 – 8 work days so far in 11 - Sun, May 22, 11

Today I was not available, but due to an error on the part of scheduling, I was scheduled to work in the Boneyard. Since I was going to be working the day before, I decided not to protest. I did ask way, the answer was “Me bad.” I was also surprised that I was scheduled to work 11 hours. Thus I did end up working every position in the Boneyard and ended up working the entrance at the end of the day. The nice thing of working the entrance at the end of the day is that you do not have to work to cover up the bones at the dig site when the Boneyard closed. Covering the bones is real work.

Observation: It was a very hot day. I had asked for an early release and it did not happen. I did learn that D pays daily overtime for any time worked over 8 hours in a day. I did meet and talk with a lady from TN for some time. Not sure if I was able to recruit her as a D cast member but she indicated it sounded like a thing to do – when she retired in 6 years. I suggested she start now and just do it a week a year.

Week 23 – 29May11 – I changed my availability to Sunday since I was getting conflicts with my other job.

Week 24 – 05Jun11 – My availability is Sunday and I requested I not be scheduled this week.

Week 25 – 12Jun11 – My availability is Sunday and I was not scheduled to work this week.

Week 26 – 19Jun11 – My availability is Sunday and I requested I not be scheduled this week. I try to check almost every day to see if there any available positions I can work. During this week, not one available position for which I was trained was available.

Week 27 – 26Jun11 - My availability is Sunday and I was not scheduled to work this week.

Week 28 – 03Jul11 - My availability is Sunday and I requested I not be scheduled this week.

Week 29 – 10Jul11 - My availability is Sunday and I was not scheduled to work this week.

Week 30 – 17Jul11 - My availability is Sunday and I was not scheduled to work this week.

Week 31 – 23Jul11 - My availability is Sunday and I was not scheduled to work this week.

Week 32 – 31Jul11 - My availability is Sunday and I was not scheduled to work this week.

Week 33 – 07Aug11 - My availability is Sunday however they scheduled me for 13Aug11 - Saturday. I pointed out to them that I would really like to work but I am not available on 13Aug11 and that my availability is Sundays. They indicated there was some miscommunication and they fixed it. This is the third time this year I’ve had a problem like this.

Week 34 – 14Aug11 - My availability is Sunday and I was not scheduled to work this week.

Week 35 – 21Aug11 – I requested I not be scheduled for this week. I received a letter from WDW telling me that all CT Cast Members now had to work at least 150 hours per year. The evaluation would be done on a quarterly basis reviewing the last 4 quarters with the first review being Oct12. Basically this requires all CT Cast Members to work at least 37.5 hours or at least 5 days a quarter (some days are only 6 hours long). I wrote scheduling asking if they were going to do anything to help. Scheduling said no. I sent a letter to WDW Workforce Management asking for help so I can continue to help make the Magic. We shall see what they say.

Week 36 – 28Aug11 – My availability is Sunday and I was not scheduled. I keep checking for available shifts but there have been none for the last 2 months.

Week 37 – 04Sep11 – I was not scheduled this week and I have changed my availability to both Sat and Sun starting in 2 weeks.

Week 38 – 11Sep11 – 9 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Sep 11, 11

I worked in the Boneyard today. Since I had not worked for 4 months, I needed some training updates before I could get an assignment. All in all it was a rather uneventful day. I worked all the positions and the guest level was light today. My work day ended just before the Boneyard closed so I did not help cover the dinosaur bones so the kids could dig the up the next day.

Observation: At times when working the Boneyard the staff had 12 positions. Today the most was 5 and at times only 4. D seems to be cutting back on staffing which is probably one of the reasons I have not been scheduled. I spent some time talking to a guest from Kissimmee, suggesting since he lived in town he should explore getting a job a D. I think he just might.

Week 39 – 18Sep11 – I had requested I not work on 18Sep (and last week 17Sep) so I could attend my high school reunion in Chicago.

Week 40 – 25Sep11 – 10 work days so far in 11 - Sat, Oct 1, 11 – 8.5 hrs so far this quarter

I was not scheduled to work this week, but when I found out I was working next Sunday (02Oct), I volunteered an available shift for Saturday – might as well work the whole weekend. Turns out it was an 11:30 to 8:30 shift. After spending 5 hours in the Boneyard we closed. We spent an hour having pizza and then took a walk through the Dinosaur ride. We walked through the path the ride trucks take with the lights on. We were able to see the special effects and it was very interesting. Then we reopened the Boneyard for an insurance company convention. 1000+ dined and played in Dinoland (Dinosaur ride, Boneyard, and DinoRama) until 8PM and then the party went on to Asia.

Observation: The staffing level is low and even the part time cast members are not getting shifts. There have been many changes to TITW (where I last worked in May) including organizational level changes so I doubt I will be retrained since D does not need the staff.

Week 41 – 02Oct11 – 12 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Oct 2, and Sat Oct 8 – 21.5 hrs so far this quarter

02 Oct - I was scheduled and worked in the Boneyard today. The day started at about 65 degrees and was nice all day. I spent a lot of time in the dig site where guests can dig for dinosaur bones. Even spent some time helping them did. I was lucky, I left before it closed and did not have to cover the bones up

Observation: I ended up having to take a training course on safety. Disney spends many hours training every cast member in safety procedures to protect the guest and cast members.

08 Oct -So it rained all day. The only part of the Boneyard which was open was the dig site.

Observation: Again today, regardless of the weather, large groups of young ladies from Brazil were visiting.

Week 42 – 09Oct11 – 14 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Oct 9, and Sat Oct 15 – 37.5 hrs so far this quarter

When I saw I was also working next week, I immediately put in an available change to say I was available only Sundays and also requested I not work some Sundays in November. Any schedule change has to be done 3 weeks in advance. I only have to work 38.5 hours per quarter under the new rules. It is sort of feast or famine with work scheduling. I could not even find a shift to volunteer for from late May through early Sep and now will have be working 4 weekends straight in Oct.

09 Oct – So it rained most of the day. For part of the afternoon we were able to open the slides. I was working mid level roamer when the rains came back, could not find the covers for some of the sides for some time, and thus some slides got a little wet. When we opened up again, I took the slides to soak up some of the water – the slides are much, much faster when wet. I was scheduled and worked in the Boneyard today. The day started at about 65 degrees and

Observation: I spent some time talking with a lady who was here with her family from Brazil. They come every week for two weeks. We talked about some the fun stuff to do at all of the WDW parks.

15 Oct – There was No rain today. The day started about 65 degrees and I ended up working most of the 5 staffed positions. I though it was amazingly busy for a day in October.

Observation: While in the dig site I spent some time talking with the Sparrows – a large family group visiting for a week from PA. The grandfather had just retired from Ameriprise – but did not give me any investment ideas. I suggested they think of us in FL in Feb.

Week 43 – 16Oct11 – 16 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Oct 16, and Sat Oct 22 – 52.75 hrs so far this quarter.

16 Oct – Another busy day in the Boneyard. It opened an hour early for those staying in WDW resorts. Again it was the number of guests was very high. While working of the lines to use the rope ladders, I told a child he had to wait at the end of the line since all the other quests arrived before he had. His response was “You’re kidding me.” He then left not wanting to wait for about 2 minutes.

Observation: I talked with an extended family visiting from Chattanooga. It turns out the grandfather was a fellow tax preparer for the major tax preparation firm. We talked taxes but only for a minute or two.

22 Oct – The day started off rather slow, became real busy, and then the rain came. After the rain we dried out the slides and reopened everything. One of the ways to dry a slide is to use it – I got a little wet.

Observation: One of the features of the Boneyard is a door which only repeats a tape saying something like “Keep this door closed, we are trying to work in here” and only opens about 1” when kids try to open it. One kid, after trying repeatedly to open it, asked me to open it for him. I told him it did not open. He told me I was not “cooperating” and he was going to stand there until I opened it. I told him I would see him again in two weeks since that would be the next time I worked.

Week 44 – 23Oct11 – 17 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Oct 23 – 60.75 hrs so far this quarter. After working 40+ hours this quarter (I only need 40hrs per quarter to stay employed), I changed my availability to just Sunday.

23Oct – The Boneyard was rather uneventful today. I am convinced that on nice weekend days tons of locals come to the park in the afternoon. I have never seen the dig site so full of kids. It is fun to help the kids find the bones to uncover. There is a picture and drawing of the dig site which shows where the bones are so you can help the kids find them

Observation: I had a nice discussion of the places to visit in EPCOT, MK, and DHS with a family from Scotland. Seems they were over here on “holiday” for two weeks. There were also quite a few guests from Brazil again. I had a discussion with my wife about all the hours I have been scheduled to work this month. She suggested, probably correctly, that my letter to scheduling, WDW workforce management, and supervision at Dinoland complaining that I was just not scheduled enough to meet their new employment criteria caused the increase in work.

Week 45 – 30Oct11 – 18 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Oct 30 – 68.75 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays.

30Oct – The Boneyard opened early today for “extra magic hours” which gives guests staying at D hotels the opportunity to visit DAK an hour before all the other guests. My start time for today was 07:30 since I was part of the opening crew for the Boneyard. We have the responsibility for drying off every trash can, railing, bench, and picnic table in the area. We also do a general review of the grounds for any trash or items which need repair.

Observation: Talked with a couple from NJ today. Seems the schools there have a week off for teachers to attend conferences about this time every year. I met another couple from PA and may have been successful in recruiting then to become D employees. I arrived early enough today to walk into DAK when it was still dark. It sure looks different and when the birds start to wake up, it gets noisy.

Week 46 – 06Nov11 – 19 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Nov 6 – 77.00 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays.

06Nov – Today started with the temperature below 60 degrees. Luckily our costume allows for two extra layers of clothes in addition to a coat with a lining if required. Today several guests were interested in finding “hidden Mickeys” in the Boneyard. I think I have spotted 4 but am not sure they are all “official”. If you have not searched for “hidden Mickeys” you are missing a lot of fun at D. Here is a hint, if you visit the dig site in the Boneyard, look for a fan with the two hard hats on it. Now you just need to find the other three.

Observation: One of the assignments I enjoy the most is to find a VIP family. Generally I just walk up to a family – the kids are probably running all over the place with the parents just relaxing – and discuss D and the various parks. Today the couple I talked with were from Kansas City and had been here at D for 6 days with their kids and grand kids.

Week 47 – 13Nov11 – 20 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Nov 13 – 87.00 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays.

13Nov – Today began with 2 hours of training. The location of the training on my work schedule was a little vague so I spent 15 minutes in the wrong training location before I found out where it was held. One other cast member suggested I always show up at my work location and let supervision tell me where the training is. The training covered the Disney history of Dinoland. The imaginers put a lot of work into planning Dinoland.

Observation: My work day was to end at 18:30 and about 10 minutes before the end, another cast member shows up with a slip indicating my shift has ended. That did not happen today, so I remained at the entrance to the Boneyard and a guest came by and says he has been waiting to meet me. Seems he has follows this web site and is a big fan. His wife indicated he loved everything Disney. They were in a hurry to leave so we talked for a few minutes and he left. Then a cast member showed up with my end of shift slip, I retrieved my food, backpack, and clocked out. I went by the cast member who gave me the end of shift slip, thanking him, headed out to the employee exit, stopping to check the bulletin board, exited, and then joined the guests leaving. I noticed in front of me the guest who I had just met in the Boneyard – Rocky from Syracuse. He decided we needed a picture to celebrate this event.

Rocky and I in the most fun place on earth.

Week 48 – 20Nov11 – 87.00 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays and I requested I not work this week.

Week 49 – 27Nov11 – 21 work days so far in 11 - Sun, Nov 17 – 95.50 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays.

27Nov – It was another beautiful day at D today. The temperature was perfect and the crowd was relatively heavy. I worked all the Boneyard positions today except for the Digsite.

Observation: Today was a unique opportunity, tax wise. I was vacationing in a tent at Ft. Wilderness which is the D campground. I have camped there at various times for almost 30 years. By working one day, my miles to and from D, tolls, food for the day, and one night of campground fees become a tax deduction. Also, during the holidays, D is giving employees 40% off on all merchandise. At the D employees’ store, Cast Connections, the discounts were higher and you could even buy a motorcycle used in the Disney Hollywood Studios’ “Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show”,

Week 50 – 04Dec11 – 95.50 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays and I requested I not work this week

Week 51 – 11Dec11 – 95.50 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays and I was not scheduled to work this week.

Week 52 – 18Dec11 – 95.50 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays and I was not scheduled to work this week. However about 7AM on 18Dec I received a phone call asking me to call a number if I was available to work. I’ve been told that if you call to accept a shift, you must be there in 2 hours. Since I live about 3 hours away, that would not be a smart thing to do.

Week 53 – 15Dec11 – 95.50 hrs so far this quarter. Availability limited to Sundays and I requested I not work this week

It seems at D there are 3 types of cast members, full time, part time, and seasonal (also called casual temporary (CT)). In Aug11, I received a letter telling me that all CT cast members had to work at least 150 hours per 4 calendar quarter with the 4 quarter evaluations starting in Oct12. CT cast members get no benefits, only discounts and only work when needed based on their stated availability or when they sign up for an unfilled available position. One thing to remember, when you are out of town working, all your expenses are tax deductible and you can take the per diem rate of $56/day for food in Orlando.

If you decide something like this would be fun for you, go to http://wdw.disneycareers.com and apply for a seasonal position. You can also call the Walt Disney World Job line at 1-407-828-1000. As you go through the application, please remember that Dave Flynn DAK 448044 is the cast member who recruited you. Also, as you can read in my 2008 story, things change; seasonal does not mean a season, 6 to 8 weeks is not always 6 to 8 weeks, full availability does not mean 5 days, the hiring procedure this week is not the same as last week, the jobs available this week are not the same as last week, my hiring experience will not be the same as yours, etc. My job category is Operations (was Attractions) and it took me months from the time I first went to casting until a position opened up (Dave in Disney 2008). I accepted the position before I knew what it was; again read about my application process in my 2008 story. Also remember, Dave Flynn DAK 448044 recruited you.
