This is so bad.
A few years ago I was working as a ride operator for a safari park round these parts. Absolutely wicked fun, I worked with a bunch of lovelies and because the job was so fun too, we all had a super time together, both in and out of work. So along comes my birthday, and the night before we all go out to get tremendously wrecked. Mission succesful, I got about 2 hours sleep and more jack daniels than I could possibly wish for.

However I had work the next day. I was well versed in cleaning up vomit and dealing with loud noises and children when hungover, but the sleep thing was getting to me a bit. I was running a carousel that day and the dreamy music and floating horses were oh so ever so soothing... and so I drifted off. While the ride was running, and FULL of people.

I'm still not sure how long for, and I doubt I shall ever know, but I suddenly came to, looked out my cabin window to see lots of people on the ride. Some looked very bored, but most were all staring at me. "Oops" thought I, and stopped the ride. When all the customers were getting off I had lots of "that was very long" comments and disaproving looks, but thankfully nobody complained

I dread to think what could have happened, but hey, we used to nearly kill people all the time. I once smacked a kid round the head with a metal gate and ended up getting the parents to apologise to me :)
