[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the math is pretty easy:

If you are a good person, time

If you are a bad person, do nothing but accept that people will talk smack about you (and people know who are the slackers)

If you are masochist be clerk of course

People in this region are so uptight. Just pitch in and have fun. Doesn't matter if the head or manager or what have you is nice. It's summer swim for goodness sake![/quote]

LOL--I actually enjoy clerk of course, but I get it!  Still, standing relatively still for 4+ hours would be hell on my back, so I appreciate the movement required for clerk of course.[/quote]

Same PP! It’s my favorite job. Timing is fine but tedious. Clerk of course helps the time go by quickly. Though I much prefer doing it at A meets where there’s just one heat per event and the kids aren’t as wild. B meets are chaos. The kids know they’re not scored and they are so hyper/unfocused. Fun for them but so hard to get them to pay attention![/quote]

Oh, for sure.  The one we had this past week was a bloodbath.  Just two clerks of course per shift and as the visiting team, our kids were wandering ALL over the enormous pool they wanted to explore.  Our reps sent an email to parents insisting they keep their kids close so we wouldn’t have to chase them down, thankfully.

[b]Hilariously, it’s the 15-18 boys who have been giving me the most grief this season.  So dramatic, LOL[/quote][/b]

Same! I have been saying they’re the hardest to round up! They think they’re too cool to show up at clerk of course and their friends will be like “oh he’s here he’s just not coming over here”. Or they bring friends with them who aren’t swimming and I’m like “only stand over here if you’re actually swimming!”. And god forbid they sit in the chairs for each lane, LOL.[/quote]
