Yeah, but not while I'm sleeping, that could be detrimental to my health. Gonna wait til tomorrow to figure out my yards. Hard to tell what I'm capable of after one day in the pool. Trying to hunt down Legrand and see if she could help me figure it out - she's knows a little about swimming, she's our facility aquatics coordinator. I wrote a note on the challenge thread but if its easier you could just work out the time you want to swimming...
Something like... I want to swim 10 hours in the month instead of distance |

Almost ready for coaches meetings. No wI'm starting to worry about staff. Office asst. tells me we only have about 40 on payroll, we need 110 to operate (ouch!!) Ugh, there goes the phone. ugh - wow how are you going to handle that? ummmm???? Maybe head over to the high schools and try to recruit. Pray, black magic, pretty much anything possible. Did any of you notice how much our thread slowed down once Cat and Donto posted the Dec challenge? I wonder.... that was my job during HS - lifeguarding and teaching swimming lessons - my oldest is doing the same thing - he worked at one of the pools here last summer and is now working at the University he attends the city is doing their interviews for the summer on 12/26 and 12/27 - that seemed super early to me That does seem early. Usually we start interviewing in February for the summer. According to the Red Cross, we are in a lifeguard shortage, so maybe your city is trying to pick up all the good guards early instead of the dud slacker ones! |

We usually just hire any kid that can pass their LGT and/or WSI and isn't on a "hit list" - let me just say that if a kid majorly messes up working at a county facility there are 17 other county facilities that will hear about it in a monthly meeting. |

TinkerBeth 23096 Liverpool, New York | Subject: RE: They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) V Nibbins Notes 11/27/07 Sal – the first to arrive in Twisnibbins promptly wrapped up the discussion about extra underwear and Italian restaurants (ummm, two separate posts – totally unrelated subjects – LOLOL). His project team is regrouping and there is some project redirection going on – but, it’s all good! Kristen – was one of the first to arrive, was at her desk before 8 am, bright eyed and bushy tailed after a lovely spin class! She had a very busy day! Sounds like her classes are winding down and now it’s time to grade exams and papers. Pam – Swam 3200 yds today and is feeling GREAT about it!!!! WTG Pam :-). She’s playing Bunco with friends tonight :-). She did go to Walmart, and she did buy LD’s but swears they are for the kids – fruit and WW ice cream bars are for her (actually the WW ice cream bars are pretty good) Sharon – is on her way from cold to colder, her ultimate destination is Windsor, Canada. BRRRRR – she promises to post more when she gets back :-). Heather – think snow!!! Her first day in the mountains is this weekend and she wants to ski! (can we come too?) She went for a run this morning – she is close to her goal! Yaaay! getting ready for coaches meetings. Sounds like she has quite a dilemma on her hands related to staffing! Send her some good mojo! She’s deciding what her swim challenge goal should be, Cat and Beth both wisely suggested basing her goal on time rather than distance ;-). Judi – needs to get her resume written – no playing on BT allowed until that is done :-). Kids haircuts also on tap today. She got it done!! Yaaay!!! Scott – rediscovered his mojo –he is once again confident about his race. And as a bonus, the weather for the day of the race looks fabulous! Something about a Brass Monkey warning?????? (don’t worry, I actually did get it – lol) Kendra – missed 24 hours and 18 pages of posts – LOL. Her PF is acting up and she is going to give her foot a break until her race this weekend – fella’s she definitely needs some motivation!!!! Send her good thoughts! Dee – drive by post – something about avoiding the LD aisle at Walmart, needing to get work stuff done - and that she needs a life :p Tracy (owl_girl) – stopped by to say hello and got sucked in engaged in the conversation almost immediately! She’s a wildlife biologist and studies owls – mostly. Oh and she has been lurking in Twisnibbins for quite some time now – LOL Hector – had to work hard today, so he spent his time on Twisnibbins talking to himself - LOL (oh and he things Spokes is one lucky guy (something about Yanti and Beth tying him down) Cat – didn’t go to the pub last night – sounds like it is just as well – the boys stayed out mast midnight.
Tammy – sends her hello and best wishes, she misses the team (well, who wouldn’t?) – she is having a marvelous time!!! Still waiting for DSL – oh and she has a special message for the guys – Post more body shots for the gals!!!!!!
