Ok so today has been one exciting thing after another. It all began at 8 am this morning at MME Pool for the annual staff meeting till 12 noon. Swimming, rescue skills, backboarding, escapes, diving bricks, missing simmers, and more swimming. I think this is the first year that I made it thorugh the entire meeting with out feeling sick from all the work.

After the meeting I ended up sitting at Robinson’s Bay Beach till 6. Over all it was a great day for an opening day. Only one 911 call and that was for a boat of high school students that felt it a need to buzz the beach and clip the bouy line. Well they have a nice ticket now :o)

After guarding I went off to the FIRST Robitics team party and visited with some of the students on the team I helped with back in April at EPCOT (See Blog Archives from April for more info)

Ok so I just got in after a long and tiering day at HHS. With that over it was time for the policy meeting at MCES. We have beaches opening tommorow and a staff meeting at 8 am. So catch you all tommorow.

Ok so today I actually seem to have some energy. Lifeguard Training ended last night without a hitch and I have a nice break of one day before the beaches open and all the staff meeting associated with that. Several intersting tings today. First, the more I use Mozilla, the more and more I like it. It beats Internet Explorer hands down in my mind. Second thing for day is that my wireless portion of my network at home works flawlessly. It’s brilliant to have something like that in the house to take the iBook mobile when ever I want.

Tonight I am just kicking it back and watching the MTV Movie Awards and laughing at Ozzy Osborne as he makes a fool of himself on the show.

For starters, Apple updated Mac OS X to 10.1.5. Users can read about the update at: Apple – Mac OS X – Software Updates. Secondly, my favorite and what I think to be fastest browsers out there, Mozilla, just came out as a complete version 1.0 and no longer beta. Check it out and give it a try.

Ok so I’m not getting to update this thing as much as I would have liked but hey what can I say. I’m actually supprised to see that peole other than me read this thing. So on with today’s update.

Today the school year at Hopkins High moved one day closer to the last day next Thursday and we celerated with aIce Cream Social for the staff thanks to the Guidance and Student Services staff. So it was nice to mingle with other staff members and see soem old faces. Then it was off to yet another night of lifeguard training class. Yippie Deep Water Backboardign tonight. The joys of the class.

Hurricane Awareness is important this month as te national prediction is for a stormy season. Be sure you know what to do if you are in an area that might be affected by a storm

I’m beat tierd today after being int he pool teaching and lecturing. I’m home for a short bit now and I will be leaving shortly to go get mum and dad from the airport. Nice to get paidfor working but it sucks being super busy. Last night went and shilled wtih some friends and watched space cowboys. pretty funny movie I guess. That’s about it though.

Well the BBQ at Hopkins High was a pretty good event despte the not so high turn out from other students other than seniors. Today I’ve been over at the DEC (Deephaven Education Center) teaching CPR for the Professional Rescuer and First Aid to the Lifegaurd Training class I am teaching this weekend. Mom and Dad come in tommorow and I am teaching again all day. Time to head out and relax with some friends.
