The New Frontier.....the front desk!

Singing or musical yawning?
​As if working as a lifeguard wasn’t enough, my supervisors recently asked me to get training and experience working the front desk. Now whenever a regular lap swimmer I know comes in, they say something along the lines of, “Aren’t you usually guarding?” Or, “Ahh, being promoted to the front desk, are we?” (Yeah, it’s amazing how many lap swimmers speak like Yoda!)  The front desk isn’t too terrible. Since there isn’t a down rotation, it gives me the ability to practice my skill at multi-tasking.
 
It can be a little more frantic at times and there’s less time to sing which is the way I entertain myself when I am guarding. But I can always manage to draw a little bit between customers, and that’s what I love to do most. The chair is much more comfortable than the guard stand and when there is a lull in traffic, I enjoy spinning the chair around in circles. I figure they’re alright with me doing this, unless I break it.

I'm a lifeguard, a doctor and a cartoonist!

All decked out as Dr. Einstein.
The last few months, I have been playing and posing as a doctor in one of my favorite stage plays, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” The rehearsals for the last two weeks have been wonderful for the fact that one can slowly see it all come together. This coming weekend will be the performance of the show and afterward, I will certainly be missing all of the long hours and camaraderie with fellow actors.

Show runs Thursday night through Sunday afternoon, February 23-26, at the Passmore Center in Hillsborough, NC
​Tickets at Orange Community Players website.
 
This week I managed to finish another 8 comics, bringing my total to 216. Go Comics is still not up, but you can still find me on Comics Sherpa and Tapastic.

    Ian Johnson was born with a crazy cartoon character perspective on the real world. “Suits and Guarders” is loosely based on his life as a lifeguard and swim instructor at a local pool. Any resemblance of characters in this work to persons, drawn or imagined, is purely coincidental.
