Just another day at work. Another day of working for the most amazing company. Another day of having a billion thoughts that only lifeguards think about. Another 25 thoughts that I thought during my program,
1. Is that lightening? Is it within a 5 mile radius?! OMG are we closing?!
2. Cool here comes my bump! “Hey, I gotta pee really quick. I’ll be right back.” UHHHHHH NO.
3. “I’ve got your water.” It should take you 10 seconds to scan in, not 2 seconds my friend but hey it’s your water now.
4. Holy cow it is hotter than ever outside. I’m really considering jumping in and telling the coordinator I thought I saw something. But hey at least I have coolest costume compared to my roommates.
5. Puts tube up for lunch. Comes back and the tube I had was gone and now you have a different tube that you do not like.
6. Why does everyone scream every time the big wave comes? You know you it’s coming…
7. I am strongly considering putting street clothes on and going to get a sand pail.
8. I totally forgot my lock for my locker. I really hope no one takes anything.
9. I swear that was the guy from Ellis. (He slides down and yells ouch my neck.) Here we go…
10. Apparently I am visually audited every day but let’s be honest no one has time for that.
11. When guarding surf you must keep a 10/20. In all honesty, I’m watching the surfers surf.
12. I AM GETTING DELPOYED? WHERE? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
13. Maybe if I get to work early there will be an extra and maybe they can take over my rotation and I can go home!
14. (Opens hip pack) How do I have 8 pairs of gloves in here?
15. Why is the water -40 degrees when we do IST?
16. OFF THE ROPE PLEASE!
17. (Attempting to be cool with the lingo) Totally dude. Gnarly wave we have toady. Wow do I sound stupid.
18. The number of snorkels I recovered at Shark Reef was unreal today.
19. Opening task is to test the slides?! It’s like I am not even working!
20. And the lifeguard of the day is…. (Okay Caitlin you saved two people today so this is yours) ANTHONY! He kept a good 10/20 guys. (Seriously…)
21. Sir I prefer not to see your butt crack so pull up your swim shorts.
22. People probably think I am so weird for singing along to the music but I hear the same song eight times a day so it is almost impossible not to sing along.
23. Why is that lady turtling? It is only four feet deep. Okay lady stand up…. Crap. Point, Blow whistle, smack OA. “Ma’am I’ve got you. You can stand.
24. ”Am I really on the Rainforest rotation? Well time to get my work out in a 40 minute non-stop walking session where I will trip more than once.
25. (At shark reef) “Are there really sharks in there?” No I think they just named it that for the effect… “Wait do they bite?” Yeah because Disney would totally let their guests go in the water with animals that could harm them.
