...working that is.
Today was possibly my worst day I have ever worked in my life.
Starts off bad - I wake up 9 am to get ready for work which I think is at 10:30. At 9:50 I realize its Sunday and I start at 10 am. So I gather all my things I need and am out the door by 9:51. I dont drive to work, I usually bike it and it is around 2.25 miles from my house so its no biggy. I am flying down the roads and manage to get there right at 10 am to sign in on time. 2.25 miles in under 9 minutes, not bad hehe.
The day goes by mostly without hitch until 2pm when i have to sit by the concession stand and prevent people from leaving the area with food (not allowed on the pool deck). I sit out there for 2.5 hours with only the shade of an umbrella on a very hot and sunny day. I am also very fare, needless to say i would have burned very badly had i not applied sunscreen twice, but I still got a wicked wicked farmers tan.
While I am working this shift, I hear that an accident happened in the park and an ambulance needed to come in where I was so i had to shuffle all these people out of the way. It happens that one of our employees was driving a truck and hit a kid that was riding on his bike! We expect to be sued so most likely people could be fired or pay cuts will occur.
When I get back from sitting at the stand I check out the bathrooms and find the lovely surprise of food and puke all over the bathroom. one person filled the sink with what I think is rice in the image of a smiley face. Who had to clean that up you ask? I did *grumble grumble*
Next I was closing up the place and closing all the doors that people should not go through. I am closing this one sliding door and this kid decides to stick his hand in its path and i accidently close it without realizing it until i look down why the door isnt closing and i see a little hand in there! I immediately open and this kid is screaming. I felt so bad but what could I do?
But I will look on the bright side, at least I wasnt stabbed. Today was also the Arabic festival in my park and last year two guys got into an argument and one slit the others tongue with a knife. So I regard myself lucky in that sense that I was never put into any real danger today.
I know its off topic, but I just thought this was too incredible to keep to myself
