| | | You would have to hold on during most of the ride. The first drop, the tops of the 3 hills and the banking into and out of turns will all throw you out of your seat. He held on and lived another day. |

| | | ^Higher than that! Actually, that's a bit too high. Maybe I'll rephrase Andrew in saying that "someone holding more power than Steven wanted it removed". Eh, even that I don't like because it seems degrading to Steven. Lets just scrap what I said and you can believe it was God who commanded it. |

| | | Hey BobFunland I went through some of your photos they are pretty impressive. I did not look through all just a few but will. By the way your home is pretty clean for a dude. I just thought of a post idea how about folks posting some photos of fellow workers and rides and other sites around the parks they worked at this summer. Sorry I went off topic a bit.

By the way... tell your stories of blood, Chip. |

| | | In my first two seasons, I only had to clean up blood once. It was the remains of a nosebleed near a nacho stand. It got called over the radio, so I didn't catch it happen. It was easy. That was last season.
This season, people liked bleeding. And they liked bleeding in my zone. It started as a little nosebleed one day. Those are easy to clean up. I take the blood kit (stocked with disinfectant oil dry -- what we use on liquids, except with disinfectant on it -- rubber gloves, goggles, little broom and dustpan, instructions and a bottle of some great stuff called TB Neutrastat used for disinfecting the area).
Right about the second week of July I got my first blood call over the radio. I hadn't cleaned blood in a long time, so I grabbed some latex gloves and went to work with the kit. It wasn't hard to do. Ten minutes later, and I was done.
That week marked the beginning of a nightmare.
For nine consecutive weeks, we were cleaning blood. The longest streak we went without cleaning blood, feces or urine (we used the kit on body fluids) was eight days, I think.
The next week, I was in my break area and one of my sweeps from the Czech Republic came in and said a little girl fell by the entrance of Peanuts Playground. He said there was blood. I figured she just fell and skinned her knee.
My break area was right next to first aid, so I heard the little ambulance scooter pulling in there. It didn't cross my mind that it could have been that girl.
I invited a couple of my sweeps to come with me to learn how to clean up blood. We're supposed to train them to do it, and we go through the motions, but learning by example is the best way. Peanuts Playground was right next to my break area, so I just had to turn a couple corners and get to where the blood was.
Woah. That's a lot of blood. There was a police officer standing there keeping people from walking in it. He said she fell and hit her head. I got out the kit. The rubber gloves went on, the oil dry was spread on the mess and I let it sit. I explained to them how to do it. The police officer thanked me and left.
After cleaning it up, one of my supervisors walked up and asked why we were having a party. I told him it was a blood-cleaning party. Excitement.
The end.
The worst blood story I have will be the last story I tell.
I also have stories of people pooping on the midways. Want to hear those?

| | | ^Not while I'm eating supper, thanks.
But I have cleaned up puke while in retail. Apparently, the mom didn't know her kid was sick, or after it happened, just didn't want to claim responsibility. Other than slicing my finger open with a boxcutter, that's the only bodily fluid I cam into contact with in retail.
Trust me, had I been a sweep at CP (or any other park), I'd been fired within 2 months.
