Consolation Quotes

Stepped in hot fresh  dog shit in the dark and the day has progressed so far to pissing everyone off. The horrible smell of chemical or unwashed rubber mats at the deep end of the YMCA pool (for weeks) is sickening. Everyone has their own theory. Some say it's the smell of the new plastic lane lines, some say pool chemical tests, I say floor mats (unwashed making a bacteria factory). Today  I got out and sniffed everything. The floor mats (gag). The lane lines, zilch. No scent. Gotta laugh. I hope our new aquatics director solves it soon.
