Why I go to work

Sometimes I wonder why I go to work and then a day like Saturday appears where lessons are running and the kids are fun, the lifeguards are trying their best and people are genuinely happy. WOW! But that's not all what day would not be complete without these things:

• Going into the men's changeroom (as we have no male staff on) to clean up a soap dispenser gone wild (sorry there were no naked girls involved just crazy kids)! Hey the looks on the men coming into the changeroom seeing a blonde playing with a hose is good enough don't you think?
• Listening to a mother tell me that we have had someone with SCABBIES swiming in our pool. What are Scabbies? Skin Lice don't you know...YUMMY! But for all you people suddenly crossing off our swimming pool for their choice of swiming destination those lovely critters cannot survive in chlorine once they hit the pool. Luckily we managed to get this individual out of the pool but it just makes you scratch thinking about it.
• Going into the men's change room again to deal with squirt guns loaded with soap and water (great idea for a wet T-shirt contest but not for changerooms). This time when I went in I had about 40 men staring at me as I asked where the two culprits were, and you know that any parent was going to rat these boys out which they did! (I love parents) Picture two very skinny teenagers surrounded by threee very big body builders getting changed, I say "hand it over" I get one gun and the question "why?" (stupid question but hey they are teenagers) after the explanation I ask where the other gun is. "I don't know" is the answer. Well two can play this game. I say "I can stand here all day boys" (not something the body builders wanted to hear) so three very big men start glaring at some very skinny boys who very quickly found that extra water gun (amazing what three big men can accomplish for you when inspired). And away I went leaving a whole room of men sighing in relief and able to focus on getting themselves dressed without the blonde in the room!
• Finally we end the day with a small quiet fire in the garbage cans outside. Anyone for marshmallows and weenies!

You gotta love that work is going to be a small adventure every day. Stay tuned as Chilliwack adn Kim get to know each other better, who knows what the future will bring.
