not based in reality
Aug. 26th, 2022 06:45 pmToday began as a carbon copy of yesterday. Got stuck on the kiddie boats 9-2 today. 90 degrees, 100% humidity. I was soaked in sweat by 9:30. Gross. It was predictably slow. I gave a few 1 or 2 kids rides. Things picked up a little as the shift wore on. The "highlight" of my day was about 1:30. My replacement had just arrived. I decided to hang out for a couple extra minutes. I was greeted by a bubble-headed bleached blonde baby sitter. I would guess she was 19, maybe 20.
"Is this, like....the kiddie boats?" she asked as I am sitting there, a giant pool of water with 6 boats directly behind me and a sign reading "kiddie boats" to my right.
"Let's see...a big kiddie boat sign....water, boats...kiddies. Yeah, looks like you nailed it. Kiddie boats."
"Oaky. Cool and everything" As she stumbled through her response her young'un ran off. "Sylvester Sullivan Norwich!!". I laughed. "Sylvester Sullivan? D'ya ever call him Silly Sully?".
"Like, why would I?" "Because Silly could be short for Sylvester and Sully...." She gave me the same look you get from a dog when you try to explain Shakespeare to him. Complete and absolute blank confusion. "Ya know....never mind. Just put him on a boat." I started the ride up and on the 4th lap she waved at me. "I totally get it. It's, like, because of his name, right?"
Holy shit. As a society...we are effing doomed.
