Char, can I tell everyone your BIG news????
Okay, so Monday night I worked at the pool (background info: Wagner has a full sized swimming pool in their school, they hire supervisors and lifeguards to work there, there is a swimming teacher who drives from 30 miles away to teach after school lessons and water aerobics, during PE the students learn to swim, it is open twice a week to the public for $1/time or a season pass) okay--so it's great! I am a supervisor so I get paid $9/hour to talk to the lifeguard (typically a high school girl) from 5:45-8:30 once every two weeks. The lifeguard happened to be the swimming teacher because I guess the scheduled lifeguard could not make it...so we are chatting, enjoying each others company, etc...and then she finds out that my lifeguarding and WSI (to teach swimming lessons) certifications are still current--which even I did not know. I lost my cards in the move and didn't really care because I don't really want to work at the pool in that way--I am fine just supervising. Well, the swimming teacher said she would check into it--and on Monday the woman at school who arranges all of this is gushing to me that I am certified after all and her and the swimming teacher are ECSTATIC and it is going to really help them out. I get back to my office and have the same information in a text message from the swimming instructor. Okay, well whatever...fast forward a few hours to water aerobics which is going very well. There are about 20-25 women signed up and I know most of them because they are school staff, some sort of relations, or just people I have met around...and one is Jamie's mom. While we were warming up I explained to this girl that we found out this news that I can teach/help with swimming lessons and lifeguard, but I don't really want to because there would probably be some role confusion with the students like...counselor/swimming teacher...weird. Well, the swimming instructor is standing outside the pool instructing us, and we are all moving and grooving and she says (loudly) to me, "Char, can I tell everyone your big news??" and I look over at the girl I had told about the situation like "Eee, I wish they weren't so excited about it.." when I realized that big news around here would mean something more like a bun in the oven. Jamie's mom sort of frantically looks at me and says quickly, "What's the big news?" The swimming instructor tells everyone I have been hiding my lifeguarding/swimming lesson talents...etc., and then everyone was like, "That's it?!" Oh man...I got embarrassed!! Luckily, we were in water and that sort of cooled me down, but my cheeks were burning red! That was probably a lot funnier if it had been caught on camera, but oh man...I laughed for hours :)
