FRIDAY - END OF THE WORK WEEK FOR SOME - I HAVE ONE MORE DAY TO GO

Tomorrow is my last day (for this year) on the Rampage at Dollywood. That ride shuts down for the season, and I'm just "on call" for the Roadway for November and December. THEN I will have 3 months off and my weekends will be "mine" again, and I covet those weekends.

I will miss my team from the Rampage. I'm never sure just who I'll see again next year. As I have said before, we could open our own chapter of AARP on that ride..ha!
Most of us are over 50 and some over 60 and we have a couple in their 70's (although you'd never guess it to look at them). We do have a couple of "youngsters" in their 40's - and I love them all. I don't know the team from the Roadway as well this year as I haven't worked over there but a couple of times and you don't have the chance to talk to each other like you do on the Rampage. The operator positions are not close to each other so there is not the camaraderie there that we have at the Rampage.

Ryan is getting his tooth pulled today at noon - I hope he will do well with it - he has had one other tooth pulled and he did fine with that one. I hate to have to leave him alone tomorrow while I go to work but I don't want him out in the cold.

Time is passing - the depression lingers like shadows on the longest day.

As always, thanks for visiting my thoughts and to all who stop by....

Peace
