  Its not so bad
                     

Just got back from another great 15 hour day at the best amusement park ever. Actually, the rant before was just a combination of everything I hate about working there. Everyone has things they like and things they hate at a job. It's natural. When it's time to quit is when the bad things outweigh the good. Today I had to turn in my back-to-school form which changes me to a weekend only schedule starting August 25th. That's not so far away now. I've got so much to do.. Today I also cleaned up my first "biospill". Heh. Puke on the Serial Thriller. It wasn't too bad. I've seen some nasty ones. I always put way too much work into cleaning at night, but I think I'm getting noticed. I don't know why I do it, really. All my coworkers get really mad. I make them look bad. Well, I think I found my reason.

So anyways, I heard swiftwulf was having a minilan, so I got a Open-4:30 schedule, but now he's not so I'm mad. I will either work open to close or if I can gather enough support, have a small one here or something. It depends. I will attempt to contact you all later tomorrow if I do the latter. :P

  For the love of god
                     

and all that is holy!

Last Friday, I think it was, it rained so hard that the Merrie Oldies ride at 6 Flags was closed. During this time, I was asked the task of draining the large puddle/small lake with a bucket. What it boils down to is, I was asked to stand in a puddle for 4 hours. Well, thanks to that, my foot has become infected under my toenail and it fucking HURTS. Oh my god it hurts! I can barely limp around. It hurts probably worse than foot chile. Don't ever agree to move water using buckets. Thats good advice. So I'll probably be calling off work today, which I don't want to do because I'm one of the few on my crew that actually works, and they won't remember to put trashbags in the thiller.

  The Italian Job
                     

Went to go see the Italian job today with bob and yash. It was pretty good except for the fact that they were driving minis. Those are the dumbest little cars ever. You can even see spiderman standing in the crowd for a split second right before the armored truck falls through the street (think fight club). It was so hilarious I couldn't stop laughing in the theater. The best parts of the night were definately after the movie though. Bob and I were in the arcade trying to find a game we could play for only a quarter (we failed) when there was this kid playing one of those racing games where you sit on the motorcycle to go. He was a dumbass and broke the game so the motorcycle wouldn't turn anymore and he got really mad and started to yell at the infernal machine. So I'm watching him scream at the game while the motorcycle dude in the game is flying off the track through trees and bushes in a straight line and I start laughing. He immediately snaps and starts yelling at me in a very serious punk-ish tone like he's going to beat me up, which makes me laugh some more. As Bob and I walk out as he's still sitting on the motorcycle yelling at us but can't bring himself to abandon the 75 cents he used on the game. People are way too emotional these things. Why is it such a big deal I laughed a little. It's not like I'm "insulting his honor" or something like that. All it takes is 75 cents to make some young stupidass lose all rationality. Pathetic.

Yet entertaining.

  sigh
                     

Today is my first day of work at Six Flags as a ride operator. I have to go in at 9:30am and get assigned to an area. I hope to god that I get put in the same area as bob, cause otherwise this whole escalade was not worth it. Well, I had fun last time I worked there when it was Six Flags Ohio. As long as I'm not in the Mr. Hyde's Fall area I can live. I do need the money after all, for plane ticket and quakecon and computer and so on. Oh, I don't want to do the superman or any of the kid's rides either. I called the park today to get my schedule and they told me i had to wait until I got there to get it. Then they asked me if I could go in today. I was like 'wtf?' it was funny. I got out of it and played some hardcore RtCW:Enemy Territory. That game is so fun its not even funny. So good luck to me today, hope i don't get owned.

  Show me teh moneys
                     

So a few weeks ago I got a job at 6 flags as a lifeguard. Funny, huh? Well, since they were no longer hiring ride operators, Bob (Akax) and I came up with a complex plan of being hired as a lifeguard (which is in the same category as ride op) and getting transferred before my training was over. Anyways, the hiring part is over, and I was supposed to meet Bob at the Skycoaster in 6 Flags World of Adventure today at 4pm for the next step of getting transferred. Unfortunately, this meeting didn't exactly happen. Apparently some people didnt go in and he had to work through his breaks. I found him an hour later at the go carts and talked with him off and on for the next 4 hours about what I should be doing. Eventually, I got the transfer approved and starting next week or so I am employed again as a ride operator and I can buy some fun stuff like a new computer, lcd monitors, and maybe a dv camera because Jo's is so leet. Anyways, it looks like Bob and my plan worked out pretty well, which is pretty rare.

And on a side note, always remember to register for Quakecon.
