Kid inventors on Ellen...

This kid’s invention is shit.

Why is he on tv for this? How was this chosen to be on the show? It sucks.

Get off my screen, kid.

The 3rd kid’s invention is okay, but they’re all major contenders for an awkward award.

I feel uncomfortable.

This segment needs to end.

I think my favourite part about crossing the US border to go shopping

is seeing billboards everywhere for all the car accident/ product killed a loved one  lawyers whose commercials I have to sit through on a daily basis.

It’s odd to think that Cellino and Barnes are real people, and that there are real Americans who get “hurt in a car (and) call William Mataar.”

I also like the mini Powerade bottles.

Ha.

I was going to buy a Lotto Max ticket for tonight, but I forgot to go before work.

I would’ve won $20!

4/7 of the numbers I was going to pick came up in one of the sets that were pulled.

It wouldn’t have been the 50 million but I still would’ve been excited.

Phil Kessel reminds me of a woodchuck.

Or something similar.

A woodchuck who needs to score lots of goals.

They call me Cuban Pete.

This part of the movie makes me so happy.

So good.

fs:I think I love my best friend. PLEASE FIX THIS.

pertoleum:

DO NOT DATE YOUR BEST FRIEND/ ANY CLOSE FRIENDS

So true. So so true.

Don’t date them, don’t hook up, don’t even think about it!

Bad. News. Bears.

By the way, I think kids are getting smaller.

There are age restrictions here for certain activities and rooms, so sometimes I have to double check some kids’ ages.

You have to be 14 to use the jacuzzi and yesterday I asked a kid if he was 14 yet. He was 16. I felt bad and he looked embarrassed…

Then a little while ago when the people I was eavesdropping on came to play pool the kid said, “Oh, you have to be 14 to go in there right?” And I assumed he was saying this because he realized he couldn’t go in. I was about to say, “Yeah, sorry” because I was sure he wasn’t a day over 13, but he’s 15!

I know I didn’t look that small and young when I was 15.

I know I didn’t.

There must be something in the water.

I'm so nosey when I work rec.

Whenever I work at these rec centres or pools I totally eavesdrop on all the residents and try to figure out their situations.

Like right now there’s a man, woman and a kid playing pool, but I’ve decided he’s not the kid’s dad and is newly dating the mom and trying extra hard to be a nice guy.

The kid just left the billiards room to go to the bathroom (I’m assuming) and the second he left the man starting making out with the mom. Ha.

Honestly this job is so boring I have nothing better to do.

Ha, a security guard told me that word's going around that I cleaned up the poo situation from last night.

This poo situation.

I sure as hell did not. It must’ve been the cleaners in the morning.

I’m glad they think I care about this job enough to subject myself to that, but I absolutely do not.

I’m definitely telling my dad the no idear jokes when I get home from work and he will definitely re-tell them for the rest of his days.

We like corny jokes too :D

I just rocked that aquafit class.

Those old ladies were impressed.

I ran the class on Wednesday and it was good but I was a bit nervous and disorganized since I had never done it before.

I watched a ton of aquafit videos on youtube today though and I was much better prepared. Someone even said, “Wow for someone who’s new at this you’re doing a great job!” 

And they liked the music. I put a lot of Stevie Wonder, Beatles and Michael Buble on the cd. They ate that up.

It was really tiring though. I’m pooped.

I don't understand why people love holding their breath under water for long periods of time.

Do you know how stressful that is for a lifeguard to witness?

Extremely stressful.

I’m not even lifeguarding right now but from the rec desk I can see through my little window into the pool, and this old man keeps going under and staying under.

Then there’s me staring through the window with wide eyes like, “Come up… come up…. come up…. what if he’s not coming up? No, he’ll come up. But if he’s not going to come up then precious time is being wasted and his brain is quickly dying! No…I’m sure he’ll come up…he’s going to come up…fucking come up now..” *Strains eyes to see any form of movement under the water*

Then he comes up and just swims along like a happy little duck while I’m letting out a breath I’ve been holding for the past 2 minutes.

Don’t do this!
