You know you're a CP employee when...

When you regard aspirin/tylenol and a quart of water/gatorade as "breakfast and candy"
When you steal your mothers codine and take it back to CP to kill the hangovers!
When you run extra potty breaks on macho nacho tuesday.
When every time you hear "American Pie" and "Margaritaville" you sing the Cedar Point versions.
When you can tell if a Park Operations employee is from soak city, rides, admissions, traffic or park services just by their tan lines.
When you consider muffleheads and beer a fifth food group.

At the Frontier Inn we had an "8-track" tape player that had 2 "approved" tapes. I could not listen to "Bridge Over the River Kwai" for a decade.
Just think "Bridge Over the River Kwai" 20 times a day, 20 times a day, 20 times a day.
And Loren wondered why I wanted very badly to work outside, pick up trash, clean, mop and hose off the outdoor dining area. I finally told him it was that damn tape and he laughed so hard he was in tears. The tape still was not changed. I should have dropped a LARGE magnet on top of it and then tossed the mag in the trash in retrospect.
The tan line thing is SO true. I once had a job where I wored a green and white striped shirt. Each stripe was fairly wide.
By the end of the summer my hole chest and back was striped. (The ladies liked it though!)

When you are comfortable with continuing to drink after projectile vomiting.
That the color of your uniform really will hide a fortnites' sins!
You do not set your beer can down because you learned the difficult way that cigarette butts do not make good "mixers".
That still being drunk the next day was not a sin.
That drinking when you get off of work to get rid of the previous evenings damage is A-OK.
You feel ok with the fact that you sleep on a bare mattress and pillow with one dirty sheet as a cover.
You are comfortable with not washing your beddings for the ENTIRE summer
When a large fan becomes more important than ***.
When beer becomes more important than food....
When you no longer need your (lying, weasling, cheating)girlfriend back home.

It's CP for life
...When you consider stepping on mayflies a fun activity
...When names of days lose importance, all you know is what you worked yesterday, today, and what you work tommorow
...When you feel like youve accomplished something by getting a phone line out to make a call
...When you hear the song "God Bless the USA" you make firework sounds on the last 3 words
...When its mid-December and you are already missing the place like crazy!

LOL Ain't that the truth Josh??

Hey Chief - I have to agree with Dave. Working at Cedar Point for me is my dream job (or at least one of them). I think it's a great job - granted, it doesn't have the best pay, it can be real hard and tiring , etc. But the experience of being at the park everyday, of knowing you are an intregal part of making the place run, being able to work and live with all the wonderful people that you do...right now I could not imagine any job in the world that I would rather have (except for maybe rock star...) And this coming from a girl who cleans the restrooms ;)
