The Spot

Today was a good day, and I love this job. You know that scene in office space where they ask "what would you do with a million dollars?" and the answer you give is supposed to be the job you should get?
If I had a million dollars I would spend my days on a beach.
I really really love this job.
Basicly, since lifeguarding requires a certain level of alertness, employers such as mine make sure we're alert by giving us lots..and lots..and lots of breaks. So every hour I do 25 minutes of guarding. That is it.
There is one drawback. Although I carefully slopped on plenty of sunblock, I didn't wear a hat today. And my head is sunburned. It feels really weird.
I'm drinking plenty of water to compensate for the sunnage, but I think I might be dehydrated anyway. I feel kinda.. spacy. In a good way. As in, I couldn't stop looking at the sky today. The trees are pollenating, which makes for this fluffy white stuff in the air. Roughly the size and shape of really big snowflakes. When you stare straight up into the sky this fluff catches the sunlight, and it looks like stars in the middle of the day....
