much sighing

There were tons of people at the lake today. None wanted to follow the rules, they aren't even very complicated rules. sigh. Our megaphone is broken. My chest hurts and voice is soft and horse from yelling across the swimming area. There are a least a few people in the county now that would like to see me in great discomfort. One father bawled me out when I told him we'd have to put his kid out of the lake if the kid didn't start following the rules. It was really kinda scary, for a second I was just waiting for him to loose it and hit me, not because I was at all confrontational or harsh, but just because he just seemed so innately angry. He and his dudes kept an eye on me while I was picking up garbage at the end of my shift. That was scary too. The head guard tried to talk religion with me starting with, "If you think this weather is hot, whew, think about hell..." As a guard he's one of the best there are, but I'm glad we usually work different lakes. I'm glad I'm not guarding for a few days and then not at that lake. sigh. And so after that it was good to listen to voiceless music from a friend, and like wise to type, again voicelessly, such a sweet thought after such a day.
