I love to swim. I am a good debater. I enjoy computer programming. I just started a new job as a prison guard. I have been to jail and to prison.
My new job at the prison is going really well so far. That's great. I'm glad you like it. You had the best perspective in being a good guard since you've actually been in jail. Yes, I think that helped me establish some credibility with the inmates right away.  And some of the other guards have asked me for insight on what the prisoners are thinking and feeling.  I'm happy with how everything's going so far. Sounds like a good fit. It will be interesting to see if you can help improve some things since you've actually experienced it. Yes, I hope so.  The only downside is that I'm working a graveyard shift.  I haven't fully acclimated to having to be up all night and then sleep during the day, although when I'm actually at work I'm so alert it's not a problem. I guess that will take some getting to used to. Hey, have you been swimming lately? I noticed a new pool opening in the area. Yes, I go for a swim after work.  It's a nice way to get in some exercise and also release the tension from my shift.  You never told me whether you swim, too. I do swim from time to time but nothing consistently. I should find a gym or public pool to join because I do enjoy it and it's great exercise.  And what about work?  What do you do for a living? I teach history at the middle school. I've been there for about 8 years. Do you think you will stay at the prison for awhile cause I know you're also interested in computer programming. For now I'm staying at the prison because it's allowing me to use my programming and help my finances and improve my resume.  But if something better came along I'd definitely consider it. Well I wish you luck with job. I imagine it can be stressful at times. But of course, middle schoolers can be stressful too.... ha!
