Lifeguard Apathy 1.0

So, today I feel extremely bleh and bleher. It is way too hot and it has been since 8:30. I don't really care about all that much right now. To illustrate the extent of my weariness, I will share a happening at work today. As head guard, I have the responsiblity to assign guards where to go when they first come on the shift. As I was doing this, my tone was flat, I was slouching worse than usual, and I had a general tired look on my face. One of the guards was feeling a bit more perky and sympathetic. So, he slung my arm over his shoulders, scooped me up, and walked around to the concessions area. Upon reaching the horizontal freezer, he asked if anyone would open it, but no one would, so he just dropped me on top of it. All this he did without a word from my lips, without a twitch from my muscles. And after he had put me down I sat there for a couple of minutes until I decided it was time to rotate again. Now all of you that know me well think I'm deathly ill, but I promise I'm not. There's just a severe lack of enthusiasm and dislike for the sun/heat. I should go vampire and hide away in my basement. If only I didn't work outside. And guess what. I have to go back to work in approximately two hours. Oh goody.
