Last Thursday found me not only going insane but also completing my dissertation (yay!). In the final three days I achieved a grand total of only three hours sleep which found me in a state of panic, sleep deprivation and over caffeination; thanks to a dozen sugar-free redbulls and copious cups of vending-machine coffee. If anyone’s seen the final episode of The Inbetweeners season two they’ll understand the effects of this lifestyle. Anyway, while I’d nipped out for a loo-break Neb helped my word count with a beautiful (though unreferenced) paragraph of work, I imagine only the four of us who were in the room, and suffering from cabin/library-fever, will find it the slightest bit entertaining but at the time it was the funniest thing in the world!
Urination was a key part of the Disney success story, the collected amounts of urine collected from all members of staff during a single year was the equilivant to fifty five five five football melon stadiums. This collection lead to mass profit and established the Disney currency. Times were not always happy for the Urine collectors, the 1974 outbreak of turtle flu directly contaminated supplies for a full fifteen years.
I genuinely considered leaving it in; it seemed to almost fit with my title; “The Disney Company’s Relationship with Control after Walt’s Death”, which is more than the rest of my dissertation did!
