Well, That Was Embarrassing
At work today I received my evaluation from my manager. I was suprise about one of my needs for improvment but everything else was fine. However, the reason whi I have my job is because I am a lifeguard. I had passed the written and physical test in order to receive my cards. However, in order to keep up with our training, guards must be able to demonstrate what they know by doing drills and actual rescues. I failed at that. I had only been at this job for nearly three years but before, there were so many people that it was unnecessary for me to go out. I usually was indoors taking care of signing up people for swim lessons.
The options that I were given was that I could shadow some of my co-workers during our rentals for people who want to have swimming events. Man, that's embarrassing. I already had to do that for my JL program and I honestly disliked that. My manager was reasonable and was nice to offer that for me. She said that she would like to give me more hours but I really don't want them. I know there are people who need the money more than I do so I would feel bad if I took them. In a sense, I feel bad that I have a job while other people are on call. We have a limited number of people who know how to work the register, but I wonder how many of them are doing their first year and know how to rescure people?
I'm thinking about quitting and finding a job on campus. I know the idea is stupid and I really am happy that I at least have a job but still.... Well, I said that I would at least give the thing a shot and I only have about 4 weeks and 3 days left until the end of summer for me.
