Work plus snow
So while I was working last weekend, after having two weekends off for vacation which I'll write about when I can think clearer, I had to pull a double shift. That meant.. 13hrs outside in the snow. BUT it was a great day. I missed work and the wonderful coworkers I am teamed up with. It was finally snowing while we worked which of course makes the park beautiful and everything just seems a bit lighter.. more carefree. As I was standing down at the end of the tracks as catcher to stop people from sliding backwards.. I realized just how magnificent life is and how great God is. The toboggan is ten times more great to be at when it snows.. people are happier and everything is prettier.. and my job is more fun.
Although, I do have to admit.. some people just do not think when it comes to safety.. but I guess that's why we are there, doing what we do. We do pack you in like sardines for a reason.. we tell you not to put your hands up and wave or grab for hats for a reason.. we remind you politely to clear the tracks when exiting for a reason.. we yell at you for throwing snowballs for a reason.. you can not take pictures on the toboggan for a reason.. all of it is for safety.. YOUR safety. We do not like yelling at you.. we would rather not have to tell you time and time again about the rules and threaten kicking you out. But all in a days work.
It is a fun place to go and I wish that I hadn't been so scared of it when I was younger.. I know for sure that I will definitely bring my family in the future to this place to enjoy a day of sledding. I wish I could share this greatness with all of my friends... but it seems to have been like pulling teeth to convince anyone to come out and see me or even go with me... you know.. if you go with me.. I'll get you in for free and get a free toboggan.. so you'd save money!! But we close on the 25th for the season.. so you only have 2 more weekends to check it out. I promise it is definitely worth it. I have had amany strange jobs.. and out of all of them.. I think I like this one the best!
I hope you are all doing well.. those of you who still check to see if I write on this ;)
