I work at an amusement park as a ride operator. I didn't think they were going to hire me again this year`because I just kinda went AWOL in August after being hospitalized last year (along with doing a terrible job at work while I was manic beforehand). The only thing is they didn't give me a raise since last year when they usually give ~50cents per season, which I'm okay with.
Now this year the struggle is going to be staying awake on clozapain!

Thanks for this!

Do you have to know how to operate all the rides or just a few? What if the ride breaks down? Disney rides play a recording telling you to stay in your buggy/car/boat. I VB guess people have gotten out and ventured within.

The park is segregated into several groups and I know all the rides within my group (5 rides). If the ride breaks down then we tell our group leader or supervisor and they call the mechanic to come and fix it while we tell guests the ride is down for maintenance. One of the rides I operate is a log flume ride that doesn't have restraints and people hop out of the boats about once a week--if that happens we call security to come and escort them out of the park.

I recently switched from taking my clozapine in the morning and at night to all at night. I'm still drowsy during the day though. I'm going to ask at my next appointment to reduce my clozapine to 225mg. I'm also going to only work days and no nights. I feel like that's not going to be enough and I'll still be nodding off on the job though. I'll figure something out.
