Mosquitoes and Lifeguarding

I had my first shift at the pool on tuesday, not really much of a shift seeing as it was only 2 hours. I mean I cannot make a living on a 2 hour shift, what were they thinking. I am actually not sure if this is even legal. I thought there was some policy about shifts being a minimum of 3 hours. I think that is something I will look into. The guarding itself doesn't change much from before, it is more the workings of the actual facility that is pretty confusing. There are security checks in all sorts of weird corners and hallways. Hallways that don't go anywhere, I was so lost with where we were going. Complicated water test procedures but I am sure in time it will all get figured out.

In other news the training sessions with the soccer team are going great. We did a high intensity cross country trail interval. On wednesday I helped Michael set up the course and I just about got bitten on every part of my body by misquitoes. At the end of their training session I was very itchy, slightly swollen and a little frustrated, so for the Thursday session I thougth to be prepared with some heavy duty bug repellent!! Doing the workouts is much more enjoyable in the shade compared to last week, and the bug repellent seemed to have worked.

The week is looking up, have more hours at the pool and actual work to get down at the lab. Now if only I took a computer programming course so I would be able to figure out the damn program for this velotron cycle.
