Kurt is happy to help, but not so happy to fill out the paperwork.
I have yet to meet someone who enjoys writing an incident or accident report. It has nothing to do with being a good writer or an accurate reporter. It’s the fact that the documentation is very tedious. On this matter, Kurt is the ideal person to represent the perspective of any lifeguard. They know the procedure and what to do, but the follow up is where they get stumped.
Sometimes we say things as a reaction to circumstances and are not aware of how funny it is. I said this “punchline” during an inservice and one of my managers told me to write it down. The comedic moments in life are something that I don’t mind documenting, especially as a cartoon.
Only when a few sheets of paper asking what, when and how come into the equation do I put up a fuss. Perhaps if I imagine that the paperwork I have to fill out is like telling a story, then it won’t feel like turning in homework.
