I haven't posted in a while since I haven't really felt like I had much to say of an interesting nature. Lets see . . .
Last week I went with some of my staff to a skin cancer clinic put on for lifeguards who work outdoors. It was pretty interesting. We all got our sunglasses tested in this little machine that tells you the percentage of UV rays the glasses actually let through, and my cheap sunglasses from the bay did remarkably well. We also stripped down to our underpants (or short shorts as it were) and got our skin tested for signs of damage by way of a dermatologist (most of us by the non-cute older doctor, but lucky KD by the CUTE younger doctor) waving this light wand around over our skin. We scored some sweet free sunscreen, and some educational flyers we have been putting up at work. We've also been checking the UV index and posting it in the staff room, and reminding people to slip, slap, slop.
Yesterday I had a major brain fart at work and left the chlorine pump for the hot tub on manual for nearly three hours. To put things into perspective, leaving the pump on manual for 1/2 hour would be sufficient to make the chlorine level really really really high. Three hours was enough to change the colours of peoples bathing suits and discolour jewelry. Whoops! My boss was suprisingly not that mad at me, and just gave me a hard time about it, and some 'these things happen' shrugs.
And, I have a cold, and cramps.
That is all.

AAAAANNNNDDDD...the patrons gave the cashier lots of grief :( Lol thats ok, it was a nice change of the usual complaint paraphernalia...'the showers are too cold' the showers are too hot', 'the steamroom is broken' etc.
-see how i finally worked out how to use this blog thing...aren't i smart?
I was so jealous that Rebecca got to see the discoloured suits. Next time I'll just get Janice to watch the pool and run up to the front to check out the interesting happenings. Katie you forgot to mention the woman who had a tablecloth over a recycling bin, selling cookies!
Ah, why must you remind me of my young doctor!
If its young doctors you're after...let me know, i have A TON i could introduce you to...
Rebecca's matchmaking service? Bet you'd prob rock at that, actually.
Janice scares me. The more time I spend in the public changeroom, the more I realize just how many hours she spends hanging out in there naked. HOURS. Coated in Vasaline.
Oh, and I had to actually take two steps away from her to get away from her attempts to assist me in applying sunscreen. "no, that's okay. NO, I'm FINE. Uhm.. " (move out of arm's reach) Bleah.
Congrats on the blooper, KT... happens to the best of us :) (trying to remember what my record is for chlorine left on manual... Oh, prob overnight...)
