I'm in the race of becoming Hollands next rollercoaster tester ;) But I'm second best at this moment :(

When I get the most votes I get free tickets for 7 parks in Holland.

https://www.uitmetkorting.nl/nieuws/achtbaantester-2015-verkiezing/

I'm the one in the black weddingdress (second in the row). Can you please vote for me?

Clicked the green button beside your pic!  Hope that means I voted for you!

I doubt whether I want to continue with the election or not. I'm still second with 130 votes difference. But it cost me so much energy and time. And I resent that I'm actually a constant advertisement for that company that organizes it.

At the same time, I have so much time and energy already invested in. I throw it all away if I stop now. But the chance that I win is obviously very small.

What to do?? :(

The 130 vote gap seems not insurmountable. Yes, you are promoting the organizers, but in the hopes you'll get something out of it. 

How many days left in the voting?

That's so sweet, choppingwood!!

I'm 3th at the moment. But it gives me some "rest" because now I don't feel like I could have been the winner if I just tried a little bit harder. It feels better to end 3th than to end 2nd....

I voted.

I love roller coasters myself. I've been on about 100 across 10 different US parks. I'm actually kind of interested in what this testing job is, and whether there is something similar in the states.

Yay! Very cool. I hope you can document this adventure! Given it is strapless, you may want to take some precautions to keep the girls from escaping!

My husband has worked at that company for 3 years. So he has send an email to the organisation and told them to look at the backlog, because he thought there was cheating involved.... I'm not sure if this is the reason they've checked it, but I don't think it's a coincedice *do you write it like that? Not sure...*

It's "coincidence" but good effort considering English is not your 1st language. Congrats! When does it close?
