Getting Screwed By The Man
So today was my first actual day of work at Wild Rivers for the summer. I worked 11-7.
When I got there Nikki informed me that since I'm not area trained in anythign yet this year I can't work anything but three places, two of which are the most unpleasant places in the park (the kiddie pools argh!). I'm like... I am practically qualified to GIVE the area training.. I'm the most senior lifeguard there and have seniority over several supervisors (Yes thats right; I get passed over in favor of people like Hethr, who with half as many years as I and a number of no shows already that season was promoted to supervisor, why? So Ryan Carter can date her. I'm serious).
So the first half of the day I'm working these sucky places and thinking about going postal or something. I felt like "the funnyman" from Boondock Saints, like everyone knows I'm never getting promoted and is laughing at me. But then the second half I got to spotbreak shallows and basically things went a lot better.
The highlight of my day was DEFINITELY seeing SHASTA who happened to be in the park, randomly. Yay. Seriously made my day.
And I met this girl Hannah who seriously is for awesome. I worked with her at the bottem of "patriot," where there's always two employees. Of course supervisor Jeff Whetstone (::caugh::manwhore::caugh::) was flirting with her when I got there. We were only working together for like five minutes but it was long enough that now we're LIKE THIS. Good times.
