aggienaut | Nothing Like A Good Morning of Punishment

   "we think we are better than everyone else... because we are." -Me, regarding deepguards at Wild Rivers. At inservice today. Then Nikki made me stand in line with the shallow guards. Psha on that. We were all suppossed to just go down the ride "Liquidator" today, because there's been mass problems with people not operating it right, so the Ride Attendants (RAs) were going to practice running it and lifeguards (deepguards first, as ordered) go down it ("with RAs running it?? are they trying to kill us??"). Now Liquidator is the only ride I've never been on, though I've come close many a time.. something always happens to prevent me though.. its my destiny not to go on it. Sure enough, as my turn came up, the unruly antics of the other deepguards pissed off the supervisors to a terminal amount and instead of just riding the ride for the whole inservice we spent the rest of the time doing various punishment activities in the wavepool.. lots of swimming.

   Last night was an official employee party at the park ("club wild rivers"). I figured I'd make an appearance... and unlike all the other deepguards, even be sober, because I don't intend to give them justification for never promoting me. So I wore my spikes and my braces and a shirt I made the night before that says "UNPROMOTABLE" on it... I forgot my docs at home though so had just my flip-flops.. and Matt Morgan still has my studded belt.. uh yea. So yea as one can expect the music was terrible pop-hip-hop and if it weren't for the drunk deepguards I would have felt like I was at some terrible jr high dance or something... but altogether I survived.. had an amusing conversation with a security guard, who mentioned that he was well aware that everyone was drunk "what am I going to do about it though? I don't want to get them fired" and he mentioned some of his devious tricks for knowing people are on things. And then.. well then I went to diedrichs of course and caught up with the usual kids there.

   At work yesterday (Friday), needing $3 to eat anything worth eating, I found $2 in my pocket, 50 cents in my car, 10 cents in a ride, and got 40 cents from a shallow guard for uh doing favors for her.. uh... yea.
   Took part in a realled effed up double rescue.. bombay pool, there are two lifeguards and four incoming flumes.. two from Bombay Blasters two fro Sweitzer Falls... odds of two drowning-attempts in one guards pool are small but it happens. So I was in immediately for the first girl, then supervisor Andrew hit the water for the second, then I think pooyah the annoying new deepguard hit the water finally having realized what was going on. The mother of the two girls was laughing her ass off.. I really really don't understand people.. seriously.

   Matt Morgan is now homeless apparently. I think Laney might be soon as well.. and they broke up like.. a week or two ago btw. Crispy is also homeless I believe... Becka was until recently... yea these are the people I hang out with.. Oh Katie D'agistino threatened to kick HERSELF out, starting packing all her shiznaz.. her parents freaked out and gave her her own house: the AWESOME studio apartment the 4th of July party was at. Guess who is rich?

   And now... now I need to run off to work again... 12:00-20:00.. and then: tonight we have a REASON to get drizunk, Becka's birthday, and a PLACE (Anna's apt, (by command of her roommie, Mike the Horrible Human is expressily not invited, awesome)).
