I work at the YMCA. You wanna hear about KIDS, I deal with 45-87 kids in the span of 25 minute intervals. In fact, I have to go to work in the next twenty minutes, where they can fuck around with EVERYTHING. Members are fucking strange people. We have to put in these lines of rope with floating things to separate the two swimming sections, and we have to tie them to one end of the pool. Now, I was a Boy Scout for a time, but my knots are not strong enough to hold the fury of ten or twelve 6 year olds jumping on it.
Not only that, but the OLDER members are just as bad. "What do you mean I can't bring this inner tube in the water?" RRRAAAGGGH! HULK SMASH!
And the councelors are worst. Those guys think they can do whatever the hell they please because they wear an employees shirt. You wanna know why those kids are crazy and assholes, it's because of these shit-for-brains councelors, who yell constantly at these kids, even when they don't deserve it. "I have to go to the bathroom." "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" Crazy fuck-heads... And these guys jump on the lines more than the kids do! I recently discovered something, however. It seems once anyone who enters the pool area that isn't THE BOSS or another lifeguard, they are under direct rule of the guard on duty. You can imagine my joy to discover that the next time I kicked some councelors out of the whole area... The trick is to be nice to your fellow employees so THEY like you, be nice to the BOSS so she or he likes you, and you're set. Do whatever the fuck you please, within reason. Crap, I still have to go to work today...
