Fire at the Office

Finally made it to the library, and they announce that the internet shuts off early. That's not very nice.

So quickly--the excitement for the day:
Had to work the least fun lift... the one at the very bottom so you open earliest and don't actually get to ski to work... but they made sure to rotate me, which is where the excitement begins.

Should start by saying that yesterday it was announced that Shaun White would be teaching a group of Playboy Bunnies to snowboard on the mountain; even though it was a long way away from where I was working I was still ultra-sensitive to every redhead spotted (mostly females though). Today I somehow totally forgot about it.

Back to the hurried explanation--when rotation came up this afternoon and I took my one ski run down the mountain I was startled to see a group of reckless female snowboarders screaming, throwing high fives, and holding hands. They were terrorizing the young ski-schoolers on the catwalk (one young girl and her chaperone had to pull off to the side to recouperate). I was about to yell at them when I spotted their comrade, a man in uniform holding a camera. Decided things were okay so I went on to the bottom. On the way there I passed the giant construction crane and smelled something similar to fire. It didn't catch too much attention until we got an emergency call a few minutes later (after I'd gotten back to my post) saying to shut things down and refuse 'guests'. In the fifteen to twenty minutes the shut-down took we [obviously] cleared out the whole crowd. Soon after we'd opened back up a group of young men came through, one of which had a mess of blemishes and was hatless, long red hair flowing in the breeze. He looked like the pre-teen version of that redhead snowboarding guy. Then I noticed his companions had cameras. But the kid was obviously just an imitator, he looked so un-cool it had to be.

Nope. Turns out that was the guy, and the girls I'd seen before were the Bunnies. Sorry that wasn't well told, but I assure you it was all quite humorous in real life. oh, and there's a little bit of smoke around this crane, for proof.

Now the internet is being shut off. bye then.
