Sorry but I do know Montu has vallyed and it was only cause the black diden't have ahold of it...Since the inncident the block has been fixed but it was a problem when it did valley some time ago... Since it vallyed right behind the block and diden't have enough speed to get back into the batwing it merly rolled back and forth for a bit until machanics felt it was safe for us to go out and evac it and then they used a wench to get it up to the block where they let it slide off and finish into the service where is stayed for a while and then they found out the error was merly a proxi switch with some water in it...

I don't usually do this, and it is nothing personal against you Sheik, but the lack of grammar and spelling gets to be kind of irritating...

Quote:
...it was only cause the black...
Is this a derogatory term, or was there an african-american who had to grab the train?

Quote:
diden't...ahold...inncident
These words don't exist...

Quote:
...merly...
did it merrily roll back and forth, or is merly a person...what exactly do you mean?

Quote:
...and then they used a wench to get it up to the block...
From dictionary.com...
Quote:
wench ( P ) Pronunciation Key (wnch)
n.
A young woman or girl, especially a peasant girl.
A woman servant.
A wanton woman.

intr.v. wenched, wench·ing, wench·es
To consort or engage in sex with wanton women. Used of a man.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Middle English, short for wenchel, child, from Old English wencel.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wencher n.

Ummm...what?

I'm not trying to belittle Sheik or anyone, I'm merely trying to make a point. Grammatical and Spelling accuracy is key in trying to make a good impression anywhere. The level of grammar and spelling that you use is a measure of your intelligence and processing capabilities. I would encourage you all to do your best to use accurate spelling and grammar whenever possible. If you use poor spelling and grammar on resumes and cover letters, you will not get hired.

Thanks, dzmatt.

We do use proper English here (that includes correct spelling/grammar), not Internet speak or shorthand.

Consider that your warning.

You will come with MANY problems at Grouper position.

EX: "i want the front row"
"I DON'T want the front row"
"Why?"
"How long?"

I doubt it is. They shouldn't and probably couldn't let guests past certain boundaries.

I love it when you ask someone to do something (put your shirt on, get off the handrails,) and they get fuming mad at you, and don't listen to you. I love it when people don't listen to you.

I don't understand the problem with putting a shirt on, I get a lot of grief from guests with that at Dutch Wonderland. The worst situation recently happened on Monday when the Sky Ride got struck by a bolt of lightning and we had to shut down the park.

Being called a racist by an african american woman just because I would not let their child ride a ride by themself because they were not tall enough to ride alone. That and getting chewed out by a bigger,older lady whom earlier in the day found out that her 14 year old could not take her 4 year old on a ride that she was not able to fit on. Even though this happened with someone else she chewed me out about it instead for whatever reason.

Ghost I assume "Total Type" is not welcome in these parts of the net... I am sorry. I will watch my grammer/spelling.

Yes, grouper can be a pain...

I want front row..."Please go to row four"
I said I wanted the front row...! "Sir please go to row four"
I'm not moving until I get the front row..."Sir there are two trains row four is the front!"
Thank you...
