Sounds like what I do each and every summer, its addictive I tell you :)

You realize that your signature looks more like a shopping list than just a few locations you've worked.

When you go to the county fair and realize you could push twice as many riders through than the carnie is.

When you are willing to drive 5hrs to go to a good chinese buffet.

When your relatives recognize your friends on the Discovery Channel from all of your bar pictures. ( I swear I wasn't there that much!)

When you're driving to Montreal for the New Year and you make everyone inthe car wait as you pull over to see their version of 6 Flags... (La Ronde) Then proceed to tell everyone in the car what kind of rides they have, who manufactured them, and why CP was way better!

When you can read the last 5 pages and laugh out loud, as your cast/room mate wonders "what's so ******* funny?" only to explain it, and have that person look at you with a total lost expression! =0)

Geeze, this one gives me a lump in the back of my throat. Thanks for the visual!

Here are some ones I have noticed that I think about...

When you return to school you automatically become the most responsible drinker among your friends because you are so used to having to open after a bender.

When you are out with friends who all call it a night and you realize you haven't been awake long enough to cover the span of your typical shift.

When you start spieling to friends at parties because they want to hear what "the guy on the microphone" sounds like.

When coffee doesn't work as a proper accoutrement of waking up, but only because it doesn't pack the same zing as a test ride.

When you start to cue fireworks during radio songs because of the Summer Spectacular.

When you can't go to a bar at school without recalling the good ole' days of 25 cent baby Buds and Mondays at the X.

When you routinely volunteer to handle all pest problems at your school job and in your house because you know no matter what they will pale in comparison to the freakish spiders found in Cedars.

When you insist on sharing codes with your friends at work because it is a much easier way of communicating than talking normally.

Sadly, these all ring very true for me, as have many of the aforementioned ones. Especially the one about the tan lines. Yeesh.

Shepoopie!

When you come up with smart ass answers to said question!

When you dumb everything down for people, cauz they cant understand a word you say! And then they ask

"How long did it take you to learn English to come here?"

Now asking me, I can, at a push, considering the intellegence levels of some of the guests, understand (who knows Scots might speak scottish or something), but asking someone with ENGLAND on their badge, that just .... there are no words!

Wow... The least-intelligent thing I'd ever heard so far was the guest who explained to one of my crew, "I came all the way from Ohio!!" (to this day, I still wonder where she thought she was...).

Hahaha, that's great Lee! A few too many rides on Mean Streak and jumble anyone's brain cells....maybe (hopefully) that was the case :) Then again, there's always the possibility that she was just stupid and confused! ~Diana

Sorry was breezing through past threads and couldn't resist.
