How could you desert us like this? We had no stability with you. :(

Oh yeah, what happened to Bob too? A few others disappeared. I guess they saw all this stuff and decided it wasn't worth it until the forums lighten up. I'll admit to some of the blame, but I know there'll be certain people who wouldn't be big enough to.
Don't. Start.

I mean, it makes me angry too, and I agree with you, but christ, the fact that you need to rant about it in the first place drives me insane. Uhhhgh. This is all ---------'s fault, really. I'm not pointing fingers.

Ok, I'll delete it, but Renegade needs to settle down and stop attacking me then pushing me until something bad happens (case in point, his post a few up), or get suspended/banned because this is actually making me quite depressed in real life.

Actually, we've got quite the sum of blogposts recently, I wouldn't be surprised if the next one isn't here by next week.

Oh, and unless taking a shit is progress towards game completion, it won't be posted :P

Ahahahaha, I just 1-upped someone on my first day of lifeguarding!

I was guarding the kiddie pool yesterday for practice. Note through all of this, she was screaming at me and I kept a calm, collected voice... a sure-fire way to make the screamer seem like an idiot!

Anyways, I was just guarding, trying to look at all the kids and do all the stuff that I was trained to do (it's harder than it seems), when all of a sudden...

Crazy lady: "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SITTING THERE LIKE THAT, YOU'RE DISRUPTING MY CHILD'S ENVIRONMENT BY SITTING THERE AND ACTING LIKE YOU'RE THE TOP AUTHORITY! I COULD SUE YOU FOR RUINING MY CHILD'S DAY!"

Me: "Ma'am, I am a lifeguard. I support your child's environment by making sure he doesn't die."

Crazy lady: "MY SON DOESN'T NEED A DUMMY LIFEGUARD TO WATCH OVER HIM, THE POOL'S 3 FEET AND HE'S THE SMARTEST IN HIS CLASS AND THE BEST SWIMMER IN HIS GRADE AND --"

I interrupt: "Ma'am, if you keep harrassing me then I will be forced to kick you both out of the facility for an undisclosed period of time. It is my job to guard lives, and I am required by law to do it. If you have a problem then please talk to the manager about it."

Crazy lady grumbles and walks away. The other guards stare at me in awe, though I don't know why. Then the manager comes over and tells me that I am the first lifeguard ever to beat her in an argument, and says I deserve a raise for it... "like selling the junk car in a dealership" were his words. xD

I guess arguing can get you somewhere!

I sometimes wonder if these people spawn out of mental institutions.
Good work there, leDoOd.

Wow in all my years of lifeguarding (5) I have never had an experience as awe inspiring as yours. Sure I've yelled at tons of kids, and even had to deal with adults, but nothing like yours. I find it flat out incredible that a women was complaining that your were doing your job as a lifeguard. this past summer i did have quite a bit of fun dealing with a group of 5-10 Irish guys (approx. 22 years old) who seemed to love breaking every single fricken rule.

Yeah, she's the crazy lady with all the cats that every town has. She comes to do "laps" in the pool, when all she really does is yell at everyone. I was the first person to really stand up to her I guess, which the manager thought as admirable.

What was that talking about? I'm confused? Was it talking about "It's YOUR fault for not being here to stop it.

How could you desert us like this? We had no stability with you."

Hey, I wasn't saying anything to you, and I was joking, so how about you ignore what I'm staying instead of complaining about it? Thanks.
