my part of the story

so... i've been looking at physiology and i have no idea how to study for this test.

good thing i still have 24 hours to try and figure that one out. and then go on to do inorganic and stat. which i have a little better idea on a strategy.

this week, at its halfway point has been interesting. and it's not because of exams.

monday, i was working at the pool, and a group of guys came in to use the diving boards while atlanta diving was practice. this was ok, since rec swim and atlanta diving coincided, and it's how they (atl diving) gets a cheaper rent pay. but the guys that came in were being jerks, and were clearly aggravating the dive team by messing around, not being very safe, and not really being considerate of the other people using it. after the dive team was done using the 3m boards (and moved on to the 1-meter), when they had the boards to themselves, these fellas decide that they'd follow the dive team to the one meter too, and mess around then. so i asked them if they could wait until the dive team was done using the boards, since practice was almost done. diving had been pretty patient about it. one of the guys got all in my face about it, and told me he didnt' deserve this treatment, and was being pretty rude. how it was his right as a paying customer to be doing what he was doing and so on and so forth. after a few exchanges, he asked if i could let them dive for a couple minutes after we were supposed to close down the dive well, and i said sure.

i felt like i was pretty calm during the whole thing. the dive coach talked to me afterward, and while the divers appreceiated it, the dive coach explained that rec swimmers were allowed to use the dive boards at the same time as atlanta divers. i think though, that recreational swimmers didn't have to be douches.

the next day, the guy sends out an e-mail to my boss.

I was at the diving Well earlier today and was yelled at by one of the head life guards at the pool. I feel that this was in error, since the lifegaurd claimed that I was being disruptive to the diving practice going on at the 1 meter boards.

and closes off with

the lifegaurd was rude and stubborn about us using the lower boards. I am not sure what can be done about this, but I love coming to the pool and plan to do so all throughout the Summer.

i had another shift that day (yesterday). the lifeguards were in a fit. the gang of jerks returned, and started canonballing right in front of the coaches. now, really? is that necessary? i felt like this is the kind of thing they were doing yesterday, and i'd already gotten crap for it. so, while i hated to watch this, kept my mouth shut. they then later went to the leisure pool and caused havoc there. no one was pleased.

so, i'm glad i'm done working for this week. now off i go for frisbee.
