So, long story short...

While Jimmay was Sleeping while I should have been working

Jimmay made the mistake of

Letting a girl fall to her peril

My Advice to You is

Dont trust me with your life if i am tired

Here's the whole story

I worked at a ski field for a while and it was really boring sitting in the shacks at the top of the lift making sure people dont have any trouble getting off. So anyways I was watching the inside of my eyelids when I heard a slight yelp and sprung out of my seat. A girl was hanging by her bag from the chair and heading back down the mountain, it was at once the funniest and also scariest moments of my career there. She was hanging like a baby in a bouncy swing by her bag straps and had a genuine look of near death on her face. I hit the stop button thinking i did the right thing and the jolt loosened her from the chair and she dropped about six feet onto rocks that were covered by snow. Probably the only rocks in the area. She was swaying and holding her knee making shhhh ahhhh noises and cringing. I just stood there and said 'you k?' and looked around. Then i said 'ummm'. And she gave me a dirty look and I walked off to get a ski patroller.

Lesson, if you are going to ride a ski lift check that your bag is not attached to the chair accidentally and if u close your eyes on the job have a good excuse for later.
