Living in Commons: The good, the bad, the blackout

The Good: Chilling with eric in 1001 and Dan Baker and other friends of mine

The Bad: Taking up with Jason Sheridan everynight and his stupidity to steal everyone's stuff like my T.V and gamecube

The Blackout: The blackout on April 16, 2003 was the best. I was in the shower and the lights went out all the sudden, and I was in the dark and it was my first day of work, and I was in the pitch black dark trying to find my way to the switch to realize that it didn't work, I thought it was a rookie prank, but it was for real, we had no electricity. What a new beginning for a new employee on the first day of work.

2003 Housekeeping at Hotel Breakers

The Good:all of the cool roomates who didnt p*** me off, the beer pong towers
The Bad:yeah jason sheridan (1001E is cursed), the polish guy with foot fungus who had sex with the russian on my bed and the guy who would never lock the door, and the door you could kick in anyway
The Blackouts:note to self - warm *drinks* from a dead fridge are NOT good

Games/Arcades Maintainence 2003

Hmm...let's see!
The Good....Meeting so many people this summer. Love ya all..especially towards the end of the season working with the Mantis Crew...Mantis really does ROCK...love ya Diva!!

The Bad...The annoying buzzers on almost all the rides in Kiddy Kingdom....A week was too long!!!

The Black out......The fun I had when me and my Matterhorn Crew went and chilled out at the beach after we got out of work early. We didn't want to get into the traffic mess. Andre and his singing...you rock!

*bump*

I thought this was an interesting thread.

My advice on commons is- If you're someone going to work here and you're older- say, 21+ and reasonably mature- Get yourself a car. It's the only way to survive the commons life. It's important to be able to get away when you need to. Commons- It was fun at times, but if you've never lived in a dorm-style place before, it can be overwhelming. Be ready for anything.

Don't get caught up in drama, unless you enjoy that sort of thing. Commons is drama central. If it bothers you, you have to get over it. If it entices you, you'll be in heaven. I'll live in commons again, simply for the fact that it makes my living expenses so low that I can save money.

And there's always a party.

Finally a shoeless Raptor rider! :)

The good: It was free after Labor day. HEAT!

Who could forget the QPT and Top Thrill Picnic Table!!! (don't worry Caryn, I deleted the video ;))

The bad: to expensive (for me at least), boo to communal bathrooms, Fire alarms


The Blackout(s):

Major- I was at Cedars at the time watching a movie. I was on mantis that week, so I went and had a good luagh at all the hard working Mantis crew that got the people down off the lift.

Minor- Who knew the 1400 building was so freakin creepy without lights? It was a lot of fun that night going crazy, and of course those freaks running around in Haloween costumes ;))

The weird guy from California

The Good: Becoming a better person through life experiences and making life-long friends.

The Bad: Not keeping up with the drama and getting far behind on the gossip.

The Blackout: I don't know, I had the day off and I was in PA!

THE GOOD-you worked, you played, you lived with those wonderful people. what more could you ask for?

THE BAD-FIRE DRILLS!

THE BLACKOUT- TC crew, we had a blast. BSing with those chicy guests until they figured out two hours later to go HOME! lol. By the time I got home, I was walking across the walkway to commons and heard a loud roar of cheer...the power was restored to commons...BUT NOT DIANAS!

The Good- I loved to live out in commons! I had an apartment with a bunch of awesome guys and one dirty redneck, and it was a blast! (Especially after Labor day when it was free!)

The Bad- I did a few things I regret, and a few people I would've rather not met. Of course, people Breaking down my door just to prove that it wasn't the only one that couldn't be broken into, (It took 2 fully grown men!) and it ended up looking like a lightning bolt!

The Blackout- Ok, my turn to talk about "those Creeps in the Halloween costumes." Remember that guy in the Trench coat with the Jason mask? That was me! I had alot of fun that night, and I hope that you can all forgive me for any emotional distress I may have caused.

Snake River 2003

The good: Making awsome friends

The Bad: Listening to your roommate argue with her boyfriend about being pregnant then watch a different guy walk out of the room the next morning.

The blackout: Laying in the 1400 building talking... after I managed to find my way through it... we even kept the lights out after the power came back on... just cranked the AC

Listening to your roommate argue with her boyfriend about being pregnant then watch a different guy walk out of the room the next morning.

Now THAT is just too funny... reminds me of my Air Force days.. hehehehe

The Bad: this one day someone didnt know how to clean up the mess they left on the way into the bathroom, i happened to not see the water there and slipped and cut my head open...hospital trip that night = not very fun

The Black Out: i was getting frustrated cause my stupid AC kept going off (i was off work that day) then my b/f and walked out in the hall and the emergency lights were on, we went to the park and listened to all the angry guests yelling for refunds and then went to TC and talked to everyone there :) then since i hadnt eaten since that morning, i wanted to go somewhere for food, so we went to Angelo's and got gyro's and such, actually pretty good, wasnt too bad of a day

Hey Rob that was almost ****ing funny. But it doesn't suprise me since you know she isn't here to defend herself. But I guess I should expect it from all the post I have seen there rarely ever anything positive.
