June 25, 1993 - Friday - Two Melissa's, Darby

My horoscope said that today will be a day to remember, and now I wonder in what way that will come true. I met two new girls, and sealed one acquaintanceship. I also talked with a lot of other girls as well, both on and off of the ride. I came in at the same time as Bridgette on the Kumba, and she coaxed me into walking over with her a few minutes early so we wouldn't be late. Good thing too, because Steve was the early supervisor. I worked the button for a couple of hours. Terri was on the control panel and we said hello. My friend Melissa was the other loader and we caught up with each other as fast as we could. We hadn't seen each other in a while. I asked her if she'd do the button for me for a second while I got water and a towel to wipe off my sweat. when I returned she showed me how to sign, `Thank you!' and, `You're welcome!' She didn't teach me, however, so that will be a little thing for us to do later.

There was a younger girl that at first was really scared of the Kumba. I did a little reassuring and she ended up loving it and kept coming back. She would keep saying hello and smiling at me from then on, and I kept returning the favor. As I took a break, I noticed that landscaping was planting a bunch of new plants at the bottom of the stairs we use to get onto the Kumba bridge. I was about ready to bitch at them to make sure they cut them enough so that I could walk through, or I'll do it myself. I noticed that there was a female landscaper, a rarity. I had seen her once before and had been surprised. She's in her early twenties and isn't attractive, but isn't ugly either. She then came into the breakroom to pee and I jokingly asked her if she had cut those bushes for us tall people yet. She thought it was funny and laughed quite a bit. I forgot what she said then, but as I walked out, she and another landscaper drove by on a Cushman and she smiled really big at me, as did I. The bushes were cut, extra high!

There was a blonde standing at turnstile when I went on break. I walked up behind her to throw something away and scared her enough by just being there to make her jump. We talked for a few seconds before I left on break. When I got back I had to relieve her and we talked a bit more. I had thought that she was pool from some other area, but it turns out that she is the new girl that I had heard about. One guy said that she's not too good looking. She looks like a country girl, and it turns out that she's a truck driving girl from Sefner. Her name is Darby. She also is extremely hyper. She was on boardwalk later and I was just leaving the control panel for lunch. I stopped to talk to her and she told me that she was starving. She asked me to eat something for her, and I told her that I had half of a ham sandwich for her when I got back from lunch. I then said that, although I was supposed to get Andy who had been at height stick for three hours, I'd try to get her a lunch.

I asked Lewanda to help me make a good impression, and she let me give Darby her lunch. I justified it by telling her I'd train Darby on height stick when she got back from lunch, and give Andy his break. Fortunately Andy thought Lewanda said that Damien was relieving him, so all blame was off of me in his mind. Good. I told Darby to come and find me on boardwalk when she got back. Andy in the meantime had bitched and John was in his place. I called Lewanda and asked her what she wanted me to do with Darby. I then suggested to still do height stick because John also needs his break. She agreed. I told Darby all of the stuff you need to know at height stick, and then we were talking. The very first thing I told her was to watch for VIPs and it wasn't long before I saw Rusty coming to ride.

We were joking around about our names. We were dubbed D&D by some woman. I then said that something she was doing was amazing, and she joked about that being her last name. I was calling her Amazing for a while. Her shirt was a bit too small on her shoulders which caused the front to scrunch a bit. All day long her breast was fully visible in a pretty silk bra. She complained that she was going back to wardrobe to get bigger shirts. We then dubbed her Darby Broad-Shoulders Amazing.

It soon started lightning pretty bad. I had just come in to complain about the trash cans being full. I volunteered to `train' Darby on a trash run, and organized the effort by taking one platform person to take her place and sending the rest on a track run. I felt so authoritative today. We didn't make it far by the time it was raining, so we stopped in at Pygmy Village. Brad, Mark and Sean were all there. Soon, August, James and Reggae were all there. We joked about this being the hangout and how we'd all be fired if Rusty came by. Brad, Darby and I were talking about the possibility of people having sex on the Skyride. On the way there she was telling that I'd be surprised at how kinky you can get with the height stick. I said that there are much more interesting things here to get kinky with. She laughed and agreed, and said that popsicles are good, too. We both laughed and I said that I hear that the strawberry ones are the best. It was funny.

Rebecca was working the bumper cars and came by in her yellow rain jacket. We all said that we were going to jump her for it. I wrestled with her for a second, and she turns and gives me a big hug, soaking me! We then met Jacqueline's best friend. She's a gorgeous ethnic named Melissa. She lives all the way out in Land o Lakes, though. She at first was only talking to Mark and August, but then she wanted to know about us. She was asking Mark if I work over here, and then stretched to read my name. We were then introduced and said hi to each other. Suddenly I knew exactly what to say and was being perfectly social. August, Melissa and I were discussing who is going to take over Busch Gardens first. I told them that I'm taking German and am going to marry that youngest daughter and they laughed. I talked to her a little one on one. She works in merchandising. She was standing next to me swaying slightly back and forth. She kept reaching up and putting her hand flatly on my arm to keep her balance. The entire time, Brad and Darby were sitting behind us on the handrail completely quiet.

Darby and I soon left back up to Kumba. When we reopened, I trained her on the unloading side and then went to do my trash run, alone.

I was also very happy to solidify my `friendship' with Jennifer down at the train station today. I walked up to her and said hello in the morning. I found out that she works the Congo Station for the entire day and told her that I would wave to her on occasion. She was glad because she gets extremely bored waiting in between trains. While I was on the boardwalk, she came up to the train's exit turnstiles and I went down to them and we talked for quite a while. I then went down and waited for her at closing. She called her office and since the last train had already passed, they went ahead and let her go. We walked out to Treetops together. I found out that she does have a boyfriend, but oh well.
