A Canada Games moment
A friend and I stopped by the swimming pool at the University of Prince Edward Island to have a look at the venue before the swimming starts in a couple of days. We were met by a young lady who quickly refused our entry to the pool area as it wouldn't be fair, because we would be cheating, seems that 2 guys in their 50's looked like swimmers in their late teens, as flattered as we were, we explained that we were not athletes but photographers and just wanted to see the pool, we had the correct accreditation to be there and assured her that we would be less than 2 minutes.........I even offered her a Canada Games pin........she said she would rather keep her job.........after a few moments she got up walked 10 feet to an unlocked door and let us in........there was the pool....we looked, I gave her a Canada Games pin.....thanked her and then realized that this young blond was destinted for great things in her future.......most likely in the food services industry........the bulb was not bright in her lamp.
