So today was day two of my 6th summer working at the state park doing maintenance work. And today started off awesome, I got there at 8am, Sat at the break table put my head down, hood up, and was able to sleep an extra 45 minutes before anyone told us to do anything........ So I hopped in the GEM.......... thats this thing........

Its quite the PIMPMOBILE..... im trying to get them to buy spinners for it...... but its the state....... anyway.....
We head over to the pool, because we were going to paint it again today, but it starts to rain....... so we head back in, myself and ALex, find the "doors" to the GEM and put them on and just drive around the park until 10. And that is basically all I did today was drive around in that sweet ride... that is until 2pm...... when i was told to go out on the mowers and mow the soccer fields....

This is where the day gets good

I'm getting the mower all ready to go, when two of the other seasonal workers come rolling up in the John Deere Gator, and they were like.........
"THERE IS A PSYCHO IN THE PARK! We're calling the Police, this guy is fucked up!"
So I thought someone was going on a shooting rampage...... but i was wrong again.
They said some big guy like 6'3" probably 450-500lbs flagged them down on the gator waving both his hands over his head trying to get their attention. So they stopped to see what was up. The guy had a cane, and he set the cane on the dashboard of the gator and this was the apparent conversation.
Jake: Whats wrong man?
Man: You can't go yet.
Jake: Umm what?
Man: You can't Go Yet.
(Man sits on the hood of the gator)
Man: You cant go yet.
Jake: Hey, get off, we have to get back to work
Manwhile slamming hand on hood) YOU CANT GO YET! YOU CANT GO YET.

So then Jake and Jeff leave and thats about the time I was getting the mower ready. So they call the police, and the four of us, Jake, Jeff, Alex and myself, all set out in the GEM to try and find the police officer and the guy. First we find the officer, and I think she though we were Jake and JEff were making shit up, so she was like, well if you see him i'll be parked over at the beach lot. So she goes, and we go down aways turn around and head back. Then we see the guy....... He was like hiding in the pine trees..... and we saw him when he was trying to wave down my supervisor Bill who was on one of the massive mowers. Bill didnt see him, but I got off the GEM and started to walk towards Bill and the guy saw me and started doing the Big "im over here" wave to me....... so I get to Bill, and I tell Bill hes a whack job and that the Police were looking for him. So we had to keep him there.

So I start Talking to the Guy
(I stayed far away from him.... so we were yelling)

Man: HEY I'M OVER HERE
Me: I SEEYOU MAN, WHY ARE YOU OVER IN THE TREES!?
Man: I DUNNO
Me: OH OKAY
Man: HEY, THE NUMBERS ARE OUT THERE
Me: WHAT NUMBERS MAN? (hoping its the winner lotto numbers)
Man: THE NUMBERS ARE OUT THERE
Me: OH OKAY
Man: I'M GONNA TAKE YOUR JOB
Me: WHY DO YOU WANT MY JOB?
Man: I'M JUST GONNA TAKE IT
Me: YOU WANT TO MOW GRASS?
Man: I'M GONNA TAKE IT................
Me: ALRIGHT, YOU CAN HAVE IT.
(man gets frustrated, throws his cane and sits on the ground)
Man: JUST DON'T BEAT ME UP TOO BAD........ JUST DON'T BEAT ME UP TOO BAD, DON'T HURT ME TOO BAD, JUST DONT BEAT ME UP TOO MUCH.

So by theis time the police have arrived...... they ask him his name (Jaime) and they tell him to put his hands on his head......... which he couldnt do...... then they asked him to ly on his stomach, which he couldnt do....... instead he kept his hands up and layed on his back....... they asked him to roll over onto his stomach, so he did a complete roll back onto his back. he finnally made it too his stomach. and he was put into handcuffs.

He had some phone numbers on him which the Sargent had called, and I guess Jaime A) is an alcoholic, and B) suffered severe brain damage from an accident.

After all this went down, ALex and I headed out AGAIN on the GEM, where we found at a Bench overlooking the water, 3 empty cans of Natty Ice and a XXXL shirt (i wonder who it belonged too)...... then about 30 feet away the rest of the empties...... he had thrown some empties over the cliff.... but he had three full cans left which Alex brought back to the Shop and decided to take home with him.

True Story..........

Man I fucking love working at the Pool

I Told my Dad this Story, and he said Up in Niagara Falls they had a guy (another mental person) a few days ago who was walking up the street backwards......... with his clothes on Backwards..... flyering telephone polls with something.
