aggienaut | Life goes on...

   So yesterday I was supposed to work 12-6. I got up at 7am though to help boxcarjamie move some stuff. And that was cool I hadn't seen her yet this summer.
   But then work called me at 10:10. Kevin Kopeny (Director of Operations) himself called me actually which I thought was a bit odd. Kevin: "You planning on coming in to work today Kris?" "Yep, at 12" "You're scheduled from 10:00 you know" "uh no I'm not" "yes you are" "check the schedule Kevin" "Oh yea... well can you come in early?" "uh yea I can do that." So that cut my loafing at home short.
   Today we opened with three deepguards, which was ridiculously less than necessary. The bare minimum of deep positions is five. So we had one guard at bazooka bowls and bombay, and one at one of the wavepools, and the supervisor watched the other wavepool.
   Random fact: the hoses that maintanance at Wild Rivers uses are literally mostly composed of duct tape. They are almost completely covered in duct tape save for little patches of original hose here and there. They are a true testament to how very cheap the park is.

   In Diedrichs news, there are at least two new security guards. For awhile there I don't think there'd been security.. but now there's a security guard on duty every evening. One of them, "Jess" is this weird old guy who apparently has a thick southern accent, and maintains about a 100 ft distance from Diedrichs at all times, sometimes setting up a lawn chair in the parking lot from which he watches us. The other, whose name I know not, is a guy somewhere between the ages of 20 and 22, who at first I thought was just someone hanging out. He spends his time playing chess with the other guys and generally hanging out. His current goal in life appears to be to get accepted into our group. How cute.
   A quote from Jess, when asked by Mike tHH why he is sometimes seen wearing latex gloves - (remember your southern accent) "well I don't like touchin things.. so sometimes, when I feel the need to touch somethin, I take the consideration to put on gloves"
