Where do they all come from?
From the front desk, of course! Silly geese up there. Today was my first day as head lifeguard at the Rec Center. It was also the first day of the summer swim lesson schedule (pool is closed to public 9-12). Hence, many did not know of the change. When first clearing the pool at 9:00, I had to discuss these circumstances at length with several people, resulting in a late clearing. Then came swim lessons. Quite easy to guard. Meant to be a time for maintenece. Not when you have idiot new people at admissions! Holy cow! They would only tell people the pool was closed if they had swim suits and towels out. Well guess what! The only people who have them out are swim lesson folks! Many a break was filled with consoling angered old men. Grrrrrrr. The desk better learn before tomorrow. I have the same shift again. 5 (yes, in the morning) until 11 (or noon, like today). They scheduled me for that shift four days in a row. Blegh. And my boredom was not even relieved by trying to call the bluebird's house to wake her up. 'Cause she's not there. The only thing I could do was sing to myself while on my chair. And I think nearly all of us know how poorly I sing. And considering I was singing stuff like the Jeeves and Wooster theme song, I got some pretty weird looks.
Actually, I also had time to ponder a new plot line. To tell the truth, though, I got absolutely no plot line decided on at all, but I have eight characters. Seven of which are named (of course, five of them are named after their jobs, but what the heck?). Now I just need a name for that silly fellow who decides to dabble with Death (don't know why he's dabbling, that would require a plot line; ask me in a week). Yay for Hyustineto and Cuneron! Jason officially has a nickname other than what I usually call him. He should be glad. Gleeful, even. I wouldn't like to be called what I usually call him. I'm glad the only nicknames I have are normal, if not rational.

i didn't have any real nicknames till about 7th grade. and even then. mine are all rational: sis, sisTAH, kit, lil' nancy, and later crash, but that was beyond 8th grade. the name i'm known by now... i don't know how it started. and elena will forever be the only person permitted to call me by that name. just because it's elena. (do a little dance flying potato!). no worries k-ditty, i'm temple bound manana and hence will sleep late despues. :)
Well, I didn't need to call you today. I was really hyper. But I do have to work again at 5 at the outdoor pool. I'll survive though.
I dunno, my mom calls me Suzy, but that has absolutely no relevance to my name. She calls me that because her mom called her that. But her name is Shelly. Weird. My brothers call me Kat; again, irrelevant. There have been a few others, but none have really stuck. My cousin actually calls me something rational, but she's the only one.
smiley woke me up. a bunch of people went down to media play. i guess that the duck and swan are making for the hula hoop islands, and they needed to get even MORE music for the mp3 player. why the rest of us were there i will never know. i have no money, and nothing to do, so i wandered around the store looking at stuff till we left at which time i was to be home. i think i was sposed to eat, but i keep getting distracted and forget. but anyway have fun at the pool. *sigh* i should get a job. :P
Meh. Well at least I didn't miss anything too extremely special.
I hope the feathered friends have fun at the iz-lands. Of course, that's two more people we won't be able to call when we're bored. Not that anyone answers anyway...
have fun at efy! i want to go so bad. i wish i had money. *sigh*
--commented also on my EFY post--
Hah, that's funny. At my session there was this one that was called "Reformed Egyptian" and another like "Many Waters"...it was weird.
But hey...my group took overall points!! Hah, take that!
P.S. Are you Kristy?
As you say, so it is.
