Reply #20: I loved working at the ice skating rink when I was with the Park Department.

I figured I was one of the highest paid babysitters in town. Once my rink was established it would take me about a half hour to flood it each day to maintain it, then the rest of the day I just got to sit around. I'd bring my tv, a pizza maker and other food and just chill out for the day even when it was so cold that nobody skated because somebody had to be there. Then there would be those days in February when there would be a thaw and I'd be sitting outside the shelter's front door when it was 40 degrees to yell at anyone who thought to walk on the ice lake.
