Music: Time Bomb - The Format (Again)
Mood: Happy, but mad cramps :'(
w00t! Tomorrow is the 4th of July. It's my favorite holiday.
Okay. So Nick, the cutest guy from work, called me today :3
Julie: "Was he calling you to say "hey Chrissey let's mess around a little."
Me: "No...he called to say 'Can you take my hours...' "
I don't care how cute you are. This is my first day off in six days. I'm NOT working today >:(
Of course. haha. I know he has a girlfriend. How? Two days ago, at the family pool, he was on break and he sat down to talk to one of the feeders that was right behind me. He was telling this girl about how him and his girlfriend were messing around, and I was all muttering to myself, "Okay Nick, stfu, I don't wanna hearrrr ittttt" so maybe I could drown out their voices. It worked a little >_> Needless to say I was pretty distracted.
So I don't have work, but all I can talk about is work. Interesting stuff always happens there. So yesterday I was in the lazy river and a dead rat went by. e00.
The day before yesterday marks the 3rd time I've been bitched at by an angry patron.
I was at Sapphire Bay 3, and this Arab guy, with the beard, head thing, accent, and everything, has his little girl with a lifevest in the deepend. That's not allowed. So I go up to him and tell him, "Sir, there are no lifevests allowed in the deep end" and he's like "Okay, I'll take care of it." 5 minutes later, she's still there, so I tell him again, "Sir, if she is wearing a lifevest, she can't be on this side of the pool. Either you need to take the vest off or she needs to go on the shallow end. He said, "I'm taking care of it, I'm holding on to her." I explain, "No, either take the vest off or go into the shallow end. He takes the vest off and I resume my work.
3 hours later, I just get to slide tower, and the same little girl comes up. I measure her, and I say to her, "Sorry, you're too small to go down the slide." She's like, "I've been down like 6 times already!" Pissed at the guard who slacked off before, I said, "That was the mistake of the guard before me, and I won't do the same thing." Her sister was there, and she was like, "Can't she go down a couple more times?" I just said, "No, sorry." So the girls come back up with their father, and he says the same things, and I re-explain myself. Then he's like..."Just two more times?" I'm like "Absolutely not. She's not going down these slides." He walks away...I hear him muttering "that bitch."
I see him walk down and complain to Dan, who was working at the slide pool. When I rotate with him, I ask, "what did he say to you?" He replies, "He said, 'That girl needs a slapping!' for not letting her go down the slide."
WHAT A CREEPER. I just thought to myself, "Okay, what's next, I hate Americans?" Shit.
I'm going to Baja's now. She finally found my sunglasses <3 I thought fer sure she would be too lazy to look for them. My sister's were waaayyy too big for my face. cya.

YAY! No more work :DDD
Music: Time Bomb - The Format
Mood: Chewing gum
I'VE DISCOVERED the secret to the mystery blog. Turns out it was just a draft. And I decided to publish it.
The past two days of work have been pretty good. Just today was long. I had to be in at 8:30. It was a Daisy camp day, which is when a camp of mentally/physically challenged people come in. It's a nice thing to do. I had a terrible rotation though...almost exclusively river and lap pool positions...and the Activity Pool, which surprisingly, is incredibly boring.
I HAVE NO WORK TOMORROW
I HAVE NO WORK TOMORRROW
NO WORK
YAYYYY!!!!!!!
I need someone to take my shift on the 7th or the 5th...not because the 7th is super camp day, but because there's this girl I can't stand working those days, plus I woke a boatload anyway, and I want a break. Aren't I immature :X
Write more later.

WORK SUCKED!
Music: She Doesn't Get It - The Format
Mood: Bouncy
This is the first song I've learned all the words to in so long :D
(Skip what's in blue if you want to read about my life)
She said, she's leavin' on a Sunday. Can I take you home? I know it's wrong...but I know your type. She said, she's leavin' on a Sunday. I don't care, I need to know where to turn. I tried it once, it never caught on! I was the only one who got burned!
OCEANS
Why am I scarred for what she did to me? Why can't I trust anyone, no, not even me? Why don't I just give in - have a drink and shake some hands? Oh-e-oh. Oh-e-oh.
FAITH IN FAST CARS (this is the best one)
Could you please leave all your clothes on? And let me sweat this out - I can only see you naked. You're not in the car. You're not spendin' all your mother's money cause that makes you feel secure. I can only see ya naked...CAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GOOD FOR. I'M SURE THEY ALL AGREE. They take you home, to help make you forget about me. They turn to sleep, you're wide awake! You spend the whole night starin' up at the ceiling. Now don't justify, you're no better than Justine. When you said it was suicide, on the phone I thought you lied, i say, it saved my life. I JUST WISH YOU WOULD DIE!
(Okay, you're done)
Now I'm listening to random African music on my iTunes. I like it though.
Work sucked. It rained at like 6 and they kept the park open. There were like 2 people. John wasn't kidding when he lectured us, our professionalism really went downhill after that. Kids were whistling to each other, people screaming to each other, dancing in the chairs...aka everything but keeping our Ellis 10-20 standard. We were so bored. I was so happy to have my break, then my last rotation, John asked me to clean up the guard room (= second break!) :)
So...about feeling like an idiot at work...today this lady at the kiddie pool was going down the slide, and she brought her toddler with her. At first, I thought she was just gonna push him down the slide, and I figured the guard at top would have told her "you can't go down" I was like, "Ma'am, you can't go down the slide." and she pushes him down, then is like, "Why not?" Personally, I had no idea how old the kid was, nor do I know the capabilities of a child of ____ age (even though I sat through a whole semester of human growth). But the kid gets to the bottom and goes face down into the water. Naturally, I run towards the kid, but I had to back up because the mother, naturally, rushes to get the kid and could have whapped me in the face. I fucking figure if you're sending your kid down a slide, he can support himself, NO MATTER what I said to her. Like fucking. Holy shit. She's like, "Would you rather him drown?!" which made me sad, and I'm like, "No, I'd rather him not go down the slide! If he can't hold himself up he really shouldn't be going down anyway." Naturally the foreign bitch reported me to Donna (manager) and Lee (my boss). She complained that I hesitated to save her kid (Bullshit) and that nobody told her she's not allowed down (It was a little later than I should have, but I did tell her) and it wasn't posted (Yeah it was ass) I explained myself to Donna, and she said it was alright and not to worry, but I still feel like guilty shit. That kid went face-first into the water. He's alright though. Me, on the other hand, I will be having nightmares for weeks.
And that was my day. ._.; I have two more days, a PM shift (which nobody likes) and an AM shift, then I get my first day off after 6 consecutive days of work. My next paycheck is gonna be like, 250 bucks :DDD Probably more. I almost said "shopping spree!!" but I have to save up >_> My goal is to save $1000 for a car.
