When you've been on the clock for 11 hours without sitting down and you've been ordered by your manager to take one, even though all your locations are out of drink or they've been sitting without ice for 3 hours. (Most of Summer 2002)

When the ice machines by the Inn Between have burned up, and your locations STILL need full loads every 30 minutes. (Labor Day 2002)

When you're taking out 30 cases of drinks every run, and haven't stopped making drink runs since you came on at 10:30...and it's now 8 PM. (Summer 2002)

When you're out of FPs...for Autopia...at 10:30 AM...and your standby line is 120 minutes and extends out to the sub lagoon.

ahhh the summer of aught 2... many a day did I volunteer to go into a one man one boat rotation to help out the lead that year, and front loading fried my brain.

good times. good times.

-when driving down the 5 or 91 freeway and the electronic traffic advisory signs say "DISNEYLAND CLOSED - NO TICKETS AVAILABLE" [I once saw this on a traffic advisory sign on the 91 right before the exit for Knott's Berry Farm]
-when there is a waiting list for ECVs, wheelchairs, and strollers
-when they park guests in the exit aisle of DTD south or on the CM side of Simba
-when they have cars go the opposite direction in the front drive of DLH

**When the line to see a certain character is eligibile for having a fastpass distribution! :twisted:
**When guests go to restaurants to complain about the parks being crowded and demand to see a manager (last night - River Belle Terrace while visiting friends)
**When guests in line at restaurants start crying (middle-aged women) because the line is long and their children are hungry (last night - River Belle Terrace)
