Now, I know that the real reason people come to my website is for the haikus. So who am I to disappoint my audience? I found these on my phone (remember it's a palm phone) from when I was working my second season in Breck. On certain days they would send cashiers like myself down to the base of the slope with a little mini truck filled with drinks and snacks, with varying degrees of sales success. The catch is being that you're there alone with the money and merchandise, you can't move from that truck until someone comes to get you (only managers were allowed to drive the truck). So one particular day I spent writing haikus to pass the time. Enjoy this poetic gold:

skiers going by ignoring my wares for sale I ain't selling shit	boarders in the park they doing some crazy shit much better than me	roommates skiing by on their break or not working they are mocking me
I am warmer now i just borrowed me a hat thanks patricio	see the scraped bare slopes each run kills a little more we really need snow	I'm all alone here think they forgot about me when are they coming
