Back and Forth

So this week has gone by very fast. Here is a recap of the week.

Sunday: I had sunday off and after the cleaning team came in to clean our apartment for the new roommate I went to Hollywood Studios with my friend K.K. where we just wandered around. It was so much fun and a great day just to hang out without having any set plans. We just did everything randomly. 

Monday: I worked at the Lodge this day. It was a pretty basic guarding day until 2 hours before the end of my shift. I ended up having to jump in and rescue a little girl who got scared and wasn't able to stand so she began to freak out which caused her to begin to drown. 

Tuesday: I had inservice in the morning and we went around to all the pool both on Bay Lake as well as Seven Seas Lagoon and just talked about the EAP's at all the pools and did a few practice drills at each. There were not many guards present and a lot of them were newer so the older guards were GIDs and they were the guards so they could learn. After inservice I headed over to the BLT and guarded over there for the day. 

Wednesday: I worked at the Lodge but not as a guard. All of our guards showed up and our kids activities person had called in. I was the only guard that day that was not a new guard and the only one that knew how to run kids activities so I spent the day playing games in the pool, running the pool party and playing bingo. 

Thursday: First I woke up bright and early this morning to take Sean to the airport. Then I was over at the BLT again today. So as soon as I walk into the office Sarah (the am CT coord) tells me that i am working in the Hall today and to head right over with the Rec 6 radio to give to Luis (the BLT am coord) and help him out. Today the girl that was to run Community Hall called in sick. So once again I was the only guard trained to on Community Hall and able to use the cash system so I spent the day in there working with the kids. 

Tomorrow Alicia and I plan on hanging out by the pool for the day relaxing. Hopefully I can fix my crazy tan lines so they aren't to bad when I head home in a week for a friend's wedding. 

The Hustle and Bustle Continues...

So work is crazy as usual. We have now switched over to 10 hour shifts so if the pool has 2 guards there are only 3 on duty the entire day, if it has 3 then there are 4 guards. These days are pretty grueling when the sun just beats down on you and there is no storms to cool you off. For the most part they are pretty calm because there is not many people staying in the hotels at this time.

It is also now September and Virginia Tech is back in full swing. Luckily I have the next 5 months free of school work before I return in January. The only thing I have to do is complete a few pieces of paper work for my Co-Op program so that I stay enrolled in the university for when I come back. I am also planning on rushing when I return to school so there may be some things to do for that while I am down here.

Not much has really been happening at work recently expect for some pretty crazy storms. Until yesterday that is...right as we were going through a bump I had to jump in to rescue a little boy that was no older than 3 but I'm guessing closer to 2. His family was there but they hadn't communicated efficiently with one another and so there was no one there to get the boy when he came down the slide.

I now have the next 3 days off so I've got to figure out what I am going to do. I think I might hang out by the pool today and try to fix the crazy tan lines I have gained due to being a lifeguard.
